I use an app to log every workout that I do- time, weight and repetitions. The app automatically stores everything by date, so the next time I'm at the gym and am curious what exactly I did for a 5x5 back squat, I just pull up "back squats" and I am able to see the date, time and what I squatted. It's an easy way to stay organized and informed and you'll always know if you hit a new PR or if you should strive for those extra 5-10 lbs. I have also recently come across several apps that are similar to the WOD app that I use and some that offer different things, too.
So, that being said, here is a list of popular apps that you can download to your smart phone to help you stay on track and continue to progress the way that you're supposed to. From logging your workouts to finding a local box to try out while you're out of town, smart phone apps are here to help!
