This is not a big thing - and maybe it is good for me to be chided on an ongoing basis for not doing Chin Ups, but if there was a way to turn off the reminder, I would use it.
The other thing I was thinking could be useful is a start up mode, where the app would help you determine what your starting work sets should be. As a novice, I am not quite sure how this would best be implemented, but the app does a great job with the ongoing programming - it is just missing some kind of a start up test that would help you determine good start weights.
I had the good fortune to work with Nick Degadillo who worked with me and prescribed starting weights. I would imagine there is some kind of a protocol that could be done for each of the lifts to get everyone off to something reasonable for the their strength level.
Thanks again for the excellent work.
