KeyLifts - 531 Workout Log

Been using for years, but the newest update totally borked it. Do not get this until Fixed and certainly don’t pay for it.

Hands down the best workout app. I’ve tried many and haven’t even thought about another app since I got this one. Don’t cheat yourself get the lifetime membership. The owner of this app is the man! Super responsive, and really cares about his product.

If you are looking for an app to design a weight lifting program this is it. I’ve tried many different apps over the years: Strong, Strength Log, StrongLifts, 531 Strength, Boostcamp. This one works the best for me. Especially if you like to use a % based program. Many of the apps that I tried don’t have that feature. This app does plus a training max. If you like 531 this is a no brainer. Easy to make programs, easy to log in the gym, so many features that track your progress. Very polished and rich app. I’d recommend anyone to try it for a week (free trial). Best part about it is it has a lifetime purchase option. After the week of using it I immediately bought the lifetime.

I’ve been using this app for 3-4 years at this point. I’ve tried other apps but this one is always my benchmark. I’ve used it for stronglifts, 5/3/1 variants, made my own routines, etc. It’s straightforward, easy to use, and it will auto calculate your next workouts weights based on your training maxes, which is something I have found other apps lack. It also has all the pretty graphs you could possibly want. The pro version is worth every dollar. I really do love this app.

This app is amazing for tracking progress. My favorite feature is that you can set it to automatically adjust your max training weight after every workout, that way you’re always progressing without having to calculate your own weights. The app support is also phenomenal, the developer is very responsive and helpful in creating new features and fixing bugs as they pop up

I’ve been using KeyLifts for 3 years now. It was amazing 3 years ago and has only gotten better with each update. Zero issues with app performance and I love the ability to create my own templates. It’s fantastic for 5/3/1, ilbut not limited to that in anyway. Jimmy is also very responsive on support issues. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Don’t be turned off by the overall rating of thsj app. I think it suffered from negative reviews in the early days. I gave all the top 5/3/1 apps a try and this one is the most polished and feature rich. It handles all the calculations, provides customizable plate math, has every template imaginable, great Apple Watch interface…everything I was looking for to let me focus on my workout instead of record keeping. Try the free workouts and then just pay for the app. The dev has done an incredible job.

Automatically increases weights as you improve, shows you the weights to put on each side, and shows timers for each sets. You can also use an Apple Watch to check off each set. It’s such an amazing app that’s made by just one guy, I appreciate this app!

I never leave reviews on apps but this one truly deserves a 5-star. This app has simplified (and gamified) my 5/3/1 workouts, and made it easy to track data about my strength over time. The app automatically calculates my 1-rep-maxes across all primary lifts, and displays them in graphs and charts in your ‘Profile’ tab. The graphs really motivate me since I can clearly see myself getting stronger over time. Shoutout to the developer, too. I reported a bug within the app and they responded the next day saying they’ll fix the bug in the next release. Love that they’re constantly improving the app, instead of abandoning it.

Lots of features with built in workouts and customization for any program. The developer actually responded to my email. He keeps adding features and it’s only gotten better over the years I have been using it. My wife uses it and doesn’t follow any 5/3/1 but is able to make her programs the way she wants. Keep up the good work.
