I have done SL 5X5 straight up and with modifications for 1 1/2 years and moving onto PHUL program. I really liked the SL app. The PHUL has a lot of different lifts to track. Is there a good app to track lifting programs? I tried Maxlift and it is okay but I don't like certain aspects of it. I am looking for the following:

1. Set different routines by order of lifts. Ex Upper power day, Lower power day, etc. Maxlift app lists all lifts together and you select your lift from the master list.

2. Timer between sets
3. Plate calculator
4. Progress reports/graphs
5. Each lifting day starts fresh. Maxlifts is cumulative and counts all sets you have done in previous days. Ex my next bench press next week I will be on set 9.

    I use Fitness Buddy. Has just about everything you're looking for.

    I like RepMax - it's free, but I don't think it has a plate calculator and I think you really only get nice progress graphs if you pay 3.99 for the premium version. So maybe that's not much help, but check it out. I find it convenient and easy to use :)

    I use Jefit for PHUL. It doesn't have a plate calculator that I know of but there are separate apps for that. I've gotten better at plate math because I'm not using a plate calculator now.

    Maybe that's what I need to do. I guess I should not use the plate calc and give my brain a little math exercise.

    Thanks all for the suggestions. I will check them out.

    Do you use the JeFit workout or JeFit PRO? Differences?

    I guess it's Jefit workout. It was free. You can program it yourself to customize PHUL.

    I just set up PHUL on the basic Jefit app. Havent used it yet for a routine but it looks good so far. Lots of other routines to choose from as well.
