About 5x5 - FiveByFive Workout
5x5 FiveByFive is a no-nonsense strength training tracker built around the proven 5×5 barbell method: five sets of five reps on the core compound lifts, adding weight every session. Open the app, see exactly what to lift today, tap a dot for each set you complete, and let the rest timer count you down. When you finish, 5x5 bumps your weights for next time automatically — and backs off intelligently when you stall. CORE LIFTS, DONE RIGHT • Squat, bench press, barbell row, overhead press, deadlift • Automatic linear progression — weights go up when you succeed • Smart auto-deload after repeated misses, so you never get stuck FAST IN-WORKOUT LOGGING • Tap to log each set — missed a rep? Tap again to drop the count • Add extra sets on the fly • Adjust your working weight mid-session • Full-screen rest timer with a Live Activity on your Lock Screen BUILD YOUR OWN PLANS • Run the classic 5×5 A/B routine or create custom plans • Edit sets, reps, and exercises to fit your training • Schedule workout reminders so you never skip a day TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Complete history of every session • Progress dashboard for each lift • Plate calculator shows exactly what to load on the bar • Syncs completed workouts to Apple Health PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All your data stays on your device • No account, no ads, no tracking Whether you're starting your first barbell program or running a tried-and-tested 5×5, this app keeps it simple: show up, lift, add weight, repeat.
