Peak Strength

First, let me say that I am a big fan of Dane Millers YT videos and that there is no denying that he’s a world class expert in strength training. But I don’t think the AI used in this app properly reflects his expertise. I’ve used it for 10 weeks now and there are too many questionable program choices by the AI. For example today was Upper Body Hypertrophy day but the warmup consisted solely of lower body movements: lunges, heel-toe walk etc. Also, the effort gauge seems to be off frequently. For example, dips come easy to me. I can knock out 20 with strict form but the app regularly gives me sets of 7 and 9 with no weight even when I report that such sets are easy. OTOH, I reported that 7 chins with BW+20 was a max effort and it gave it to me again the next set. There are other instances like this. Finally, I thought it was cool that someone there contacted me after me first 20 workout to see how I was doing. But when I responded, no answer. I replied again and again no answer. All in all it’s not a bad app but I will be canceling soon. Maybe when they get the AI further along I will try again.

I’m a 38 year old aging former wrestler and BJJ competitor. I’ve trained with some really high level strength and conditioning coaches along the way. I would stack this app against any other app you’re going to find on the market and feel confident you’re going to get stronger and better as an athlete. This makes things so much easier. Just show up and out in the work. Everything else is done for you. My only two notes are: 1. I would like a few more dynamic movements. But there are options to trade one movement for the next. Just not a lot of dynamic sport specific movements. 2. The app seams to crash a lot. However, it does allow you to open it right back up and resume the workout exactly where you were. So not a huge deal. Overall I’m very happy so far. My entire BJJ school has made comments about my physique and strength gains so far. I’ll be getting them onboard once I’ve had a good head start 😉

A fantastic strength app that provides appropriate exercises for whatever sport you are training for. Although I have coached for years I am still learning new queues and progression techniques for myself and my athletes. There are suggested rest timers and scaling options. In addition, as an active duty service member I use this app (combat sports training) for myself and my Soldiers. I have bought the powerlastic bands after my Rogue bands broke, and the powerlastic are much worth the investment along with the program that comes with (and technique stick as well as I got that package -that’s what she said). Take time to listen to their podcast (Masters of Sport). A lot of great advice and funny quips as Earl constantly triggers Dane. The app only crashed on me about 3 times, but expected with new apps and still awesome nonetheless. Get this app, it’s worth it if you apply yourself. At 37 years old, I am stronger than I ever been thanks to this app. It gets results.
