This app is great for Olympic weightlifters who need a program that’s flexible for their lifestyle! It’s fantastic, I love how you can dynamically pick which days you can lift and it will automatically adjust your programming to keep you on schedule with the training volume/intensity. The community also seems pretty active with videos and form checks and overall communication! It’s great and especially as someone who trains alone it does a good job of making me feel like I have people to talk about training with!

The app is a bit quirky and takes a while to get the hang of. Not much is said up front and you have to manipulate settings if you truly want to customize your program. Updates are infrequent and not announced. But if you follow the program you’ll probably see your lifts go up. You’ll get an invite to a discord server which is a good place to get feedback and talk about weightlifting. But the customer service is terrible. Free training camp attendance is advertised as a perk for annual subscribers. When they offered a training camp, there was no $0 option for annual subscribers. The owner told me to pick the monthly subscriber option and I would get reimbursed. After three months of back and forth, I still have no reimbursement and he stopped responding to my messages. There does not seem to be a “customer service” option on the app or through the website.

The app will give you a pretty good program based on your best lifts and your goals, but you can do most of the things the program does by yourself for free. The only downside of doing that is that you’ll have to take some time learning how to program for olympic weightlifting and all the nuances that come with it. If you dont have solid technique on your lifts this app is not for you, become proficient with your technique and get stable 1 Rm’s before considering paying for this app. Another issue is if you dont know what mistakes you are making in your technique the app won’t help you, so you have to know what you’re doing wrong and make tweaks to the program to add corrective exercises.
