My Texas Method is an iOS app that automates strength training using the Texas Method, an intermediate program for consistent strength gains. It calculates training weights from your max lifts, creates custom programs, visualizes progress with graphs, and displays workouts on Apple Watch.
The app solves the problem of manual calculation and tracking for the Texas Method, a weekly periodization program balancing volume, intensity, and recovery. It eliminates the need for users to manually compute working weights and manage program structure, making intermediate strength training more accessible and efficient.
A key feature is the ability to create custom programs, allowing users to design their own weekly structure, add workout days, and customize volume and intensity patterns. Users can add custom exercises beyond the default Squat, Bench, and Deadlift, such as Overhead Press or Power Cleans, and fine-tune sets, reps, and percentages for each exercise.
The app includes Smart Weight Updates, which automatically recalculates all program weights when you log a new personal record, using your configured plates and rounding mode. It also provides interactive charts to visualize max weight progression over time, offering clear insights into strength gains.
Users can share custom programs via link or QR code, enabling training partners to import setups instantly. The app supports backup and restore functionality for data safekeeping and seamless device transitions.
My Texas Method works by leveraging the Texas Method Phase I & II from Practical Programming for Strength Training by Mark Rippetoe. It automates percentage-based programming, tracks max weights, and syncs between iPhone and Apple Watch for on-the-go access.
Benefits include streamlined workout planning, automatic weight calculations, visual progress tracking, and flexibility to tailor programs to individual recovery capacity and goals. Users save time on manual math and can focus on lifting.
Use cases include intermediate lifters following the Texas Method who want automated weight calculations, athletes creating personalized weekly programs with custom exercises, and gym-goers using Apple Watch for quick workout reference without a phone.
