I've been lifting for 10+ years, and at some point I stopped growing. No plan, no attention to weights or reps, just doing "the usual." A trainer or a training partner would have fixed it, but time and money got in the way. What ended up working was surprisingly simple: training to a voice that counts every rep out loud at a steady tempo, like someone standing next to me. Following the count kept me locked in, and once I was focused I started wanting heavier weights again. So we turned that into an iOS app. What it does A voice counts each rep at the tempo you set At the end of the set it pushes you for one more rep 10 different voices to pick from (2 free) Routines: rest counts down and the next exercise starts on its own Every set is logged with progress charts; Apple Watch supported Pricing: the core counter is free (no account, no time limit). Pro is $3.49/mo or $19.99/yr for all voices, routines, multi-set, Watch and trends. https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6770425695?pt=128918974&ct=reddit-sideproject&mt=8 One thing we learned from our data: a lot of first-time users quit during the 10-second "get ready" countdown before their first set ever started. Those who hit that stop finished a set that day 43% of the time, versus 74% for everyone else. Our next update gives first-timers a longer prep with a short guide instead. Feedback welcome, especially from people who train alone. Disclosure: this is our app.   submitted by   /u/codesurfbyte [link]   [comments]
