General summary: Takes OG2 and compresses it into a helpful way to make your own routines using the book principles. It logs workouts and shows you what you did last time so you can aim to improve your progressively overload by increasing reps, sets, or other improvements. It also reminds you of the most helpful principles when making a routine and not getting caught up with paralysis by analysis. Not for everyone obviously but should be very helpful for a good segment of people.

Here is a video demo on what it looks like:

Pricing

• Update: As of Summer 2024, Boostcamp has gone to a monthly or yearly subscription fee. Thus, the app is also on such a plan. All prior purchases are grandfathered in but any new OG App users will be under those terms.
• One time purchase of $49.99. If you’re not on USD currency I think it’s similarly priced.

Totally understand if people don’t want to do that as I am trying to cut out a lot of subscriptions from my own, but if you are interested still check it out as it’s condenses a lot of the book knowledge into an easy to use portable form. I believe you also get access to tons of other programs you can use too.
