The appeal of 5×5 is that it is simple

Five sets of five, a small jump in weight each session, a handful of compound lifts. It works because there is almost nothing to decide. That simplicity disappears the moment you are managing it on paper: percentages, plate math, and remembering what you lifted eleven days ago.

The app holds that part. You turn up, see the weight, and lift it.

Progression that adjusts to you

Lifts can be set to increase automatically by training day or by week, at whatever increment suits the lift. Squats and deadlifts tolerate bigger jumps than presses. Set it once per lift and stop thinking about it.

Or build your own

Stick with the standard 5×5 routines, or assemble something of your own: custom lifts, custom training days, stretches and accessories alongside the main work. You can switch between programs and keep all the history in one place, so a change of routine does not reset your record.

The numbers afterwards

Every set is logged with an estimated one rep max, and the history can be sorted by date, reps, lift or estimated max. Export it whenever you want. If you are curious how the estimate is derived, we explain one rep max calculation.

Common questions

Which 5×5 routines does it support?
The common ones, and anything you build yourself. Lifts, days, sets, reps and progression increments are all configurable.
Kilograms or pounds?
Either. It is a setting.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. The full lift history can be exported.
Is 5×5 good for beginners?
It is one of the better starting points. Linear progression works well for anyone who has not yet run out of easy gains, which is most people in their first year.
