MacroFactor Workouts - Tracker

MacroFactor is the best nutrition tracking app I’ve used, and I’ve tried most of them. The workout programming feature, however, feels like a separate product built for a different user. The exercise recommendations seem to be generated for a general population with no training history or specific goals, and if you’re an intermediate lifter with a structured program already, the sessions will feel generic and somewhat random in their emphasis. For example lateral raises appeared in nearly every session of my generated split (and I did request an emphasis on those muscles) while movements more relevant to my goals were underrepresented. The app recommends a full body program which goes against most of the science backed research today. If you have a workout already building that as a custom program is incredibly time consuming and if you’re looking to migrate from spreadsheets it’s not worth it. My recommendation is use MacroFactor exclusively for nutrition tracking and run your own programming independently.

Very intuitive app!
