When I first starter doing dat dere SS at the gym I tried using some of those gym apps on my phone, but regular pen and paper proved to be more convenient in the end.
Now lately I've been trying my hand at programing and decided to make my own gym app, this is the fruit of that endeavour.
I tried to recreate what you would want to write on regular notepad. What exercise, sets reps weight plus any comments. Also I put there a sort of progress bar, where you keep track of the sets you have done, cause I often found myself wondering how many sets I already did. The function lets you choose if you done the set, failed it or done, but cheated or something.
You can also save the workout and load it on the next session, while increasing the weight of exercises, either by % or lbs/kg. All exercises at once or individually. It also takes into account the smallest plate available when increasing by %
And obviously a built in warm up calculator and timer.
Basically I just did an app that I though would actually help you at the gym.
So if any one you guys are interested in it, try it, maybe you'll like it. Also I am very open to suggestion on what else helpful stuff you'd want to see there.
Also I will share the ad free version with Jow Forums when I am done with it (In the process of trying to make the ad free version to copy the already created workouts and templates from the basic app)

Are there any memes or bbc in it? This is very important for me.
Connor Garcia
Add a featur for the test boost where you can watch porn before a workout
Zachary Adams
iPhone?
Jack Anderson
This probably has a bitcoin miner or other malware in it. Watch out.
Jordan Collins
Thanks user. I'm tired of going into my notes for my programs and tracking my lifts, I've been looking for something like this.
Jayden Brooks
Google will probably rape me for that, will have to do a Jow Forums exclusive app, with a "n-no homo" setting of course. Not yet, sorry. Google supposedly checks it for shit, also it is lightweight as fuck. My pleasure. If you'll have any suggestions on what you'll like to see there don't hesitate to tell me, please.
I especially don't know what would be helpful for big guys, whose routines spans months and more. I myself only got to intermediate level and that's just a week.
Alexander Ramirez
Why should I use your app over fitnotes?
Camden Clark
Have it with pics of Scoobs or Zyzz saying some motivational phrases. Maybe include a tracker that tells people based on what percentage they've improved on a specific lift.
Carson Long
I will try it.
Jason Turner
Well one of my biggest problems with fitnotes was that you have to choose shit from their list. Didn't check it further because of that.
Jonathan Wood
if it doesn't ask me if im feelin fit, buddy
then i dont want it
Isaiah Mitchell
>no scoobs saying "remember to be a natty, not a fatty" when you boot up the app
Kayden Perry
Should've mentioned that in my app you can add whatever you want like "Suck bbc" 5 x Failure This will also work for
Mason Allen
Does it auto increment weight? Also does it allow building a program?
Luis Gonzalez
Idk what either of those terms mean
Lucas King
I actually wanted to add an option where you can change the Language from English to something like "leaving humanity behind" and it would replace text everywhere, like instead of DONE you'd get LIGHTWEIGHT BABY. But forcibly changing locale turned out to be such a bitch to do, like a constant strugle with android, so I gave up on that.
Sebastian Davis
I like the tracker idea
Daniel Evans
it means he gives you a naughty computer bug. Make sure you put a blocker on your router to keep yourself safe when using the wifi.
Jacob Williams
Why not instead of a locale change you just have it as a setting that changes the text directly? It's not like the text itself isn't already english.
Lincoln Reyes
I'll try it out for the rest of the week. I'm currently using Progression which served me well so far. Sounds like the app is similar to it, but what differences are there if any?
Juan Nelson
Needs wifi/internet to work ? Or works without being connected ?
Henry Adams
Well user, you have convinced me, it looks perfect for a beginner like me. Nice job user, you did it
William Baker
You can save the workout, like SS Day A, and later load it and it will prompt you if you want to change the weight of your exercises, if you pick individually it will let you change the weight by % or amount like so
theoretiaclly if you split your program in modules you can program your routine however you like. Like "Day A Legs" "Day A arms" and just load them in different screens.
I toyed with the idea of also having a load function that will add tothe already opened workout, but later realised that when saving this will create a new workout so this will not work. So overall you can have as many worouts as you want just set the them to the same date.
The problem here is that all the text is stored in string.xml the only way I found how to make it load different xml is uf user is using different locale then i will use that xml for example strin fr-FR.xml or if user using like a big screen device.
Changing either one in program with setting looks like trying to empty an ocean. And the main bitch of it all that it may not even work on all version of android the same. No internet needed, all the data files that it generates are stored on your device.
Brandon Price
I'm sure someone somewhere ran into your issue. Have you asked Jow Forums about it?
Isaac Cooper
Never installed it in my days when I tried gym apps, but mine does look similar. I did try to make my design simple and minimalistic so, you may like that if you are into that stuff.
There are two default templates which are basically SS A and B for novices you may find them helpful
Lincoln Taylor
I read a lot on stackoverflow about it and found some solutions, but in the commentaries to the solutions there is always some guy who is >this didn't work on android 69.1 I am still getting ethiopian text But I will probably not give up on that, since I also wanted the user to select his language regardless of the locale set on phone
Kayden James
Again to talk a little more about building programs.
If we take PP for example where your periodization is one week. We have 3 workouts Volume Rest Strength
But you interchange bench press and press each week so the solution would be to split workout into 2 (overall you will have 3 workouts for one day in your saved workouts) Volume main Volume bench Volume press
Rest main Rest bench etc.
load one on one screen, load the other on the other screen, set the date to same one, you can set as many workouts for the same date as you want they will all show up on calendar view.
One week you load main and bench, next week you load main and press.
Does it come with preloaded routines that I can pick from automatically like Personal Training Coach?
Oliver Powell
You should support your fellow Jow Forumsizens
Grayson Myers
That just looks about the same but with a better gui pretty sure OP could make a better one and is still working on this one
Landon Gutierrez
Good for you in learning app development, but FitNotes has you beat. Though if you want a good idea on what makes a good fitness app, explore that for a bit and then try to perfect that formula with something it doesn't do--that all of Jow Forums would find useful.
Owen Bailey
Only put a novice version of SS, since I wasn't sure if there will be demand for preloaded routines
I don't know, checked it, looked pretty cool, if it works for you keep it. Mine definetly doesn't have some of the planning and tracking option that app has.
After looking at it it actually did give me an idea on how I could incorporate actuall routines while keeping the option of just writing down shit without much though.
my gui uses a lot of stock graphics, but I did try to make it as user friendly and intuitive as I possible and if it were to change then only in that direction, cause that was one of the things that I hated about gym apps when I was downloading them is that sometimes you had to study it.
Anyway, thank you for your support. You too guy ()
So far on TODO is: 1) keeping track of exercises (and your current working weight on them) Although I still have no idea how I would compare users 1x1 to 5x5 for example
2) adding routine building option and spliting load option into loading routine and loading a singular workout
