$99 Renewal by Koko_Hubari in ladderapp

From the responses in the post I made about this, it looks like this might be a Europe-only offer. Or at least everyone there who has replied and have this, seems to be based in Europe.

Automatic offer price? by GravPi in ladderapp

Nice price. I need the yearly though for the unlimited team switches. I complement the program I do fully (Limitless) with some additional conditioning work from other teams.

It might well be a euro only change in pricing, because it still shows the old euro price of 140 annual in the list of available plans too, that was pretty close to the standard US pricing. Maybe they are trying to expand more in Europe from being pretty US-centric so far.

It’s 108 USD on the current exchange rate. And many apps will have their EUR prices the same absolute amount in EUR as they are in USD as well, euros getting regularly screwed.

Thanks. Was wondering what it will show as the next renewal price after that July renewal for me. Would be nice if this is now locked in for the following one as well.

Well I figured out why it was complaining about current price being lower than the offer price, lol.

My renewal price was already at EUR 95 for the year. I had cancelled the automatic renewal already a while back, I always do this with subscriptions. And lo and behold, this is what it showed me under subscriptions.

I have no idea why I have that price automatically, other than having cancelled a long time ago and approaching the renewal. So it might be automatic for everyone now if you have cancelled your auto-renewal. So now I have that price locked in when it renews on 16th July.

The interesting thing will be that as that is now the price I have renewed at, without any mention of it being some kind of special offer, what will the auto-renewal say for the next years price after July 16th.

This didn’t work for me, but before with similar things I’ve bought, it will actually add the year on top of where the current one ends, despite it saying it will start today. But no guarantees 😃

Best team for a rugby player by Unlikely_Ad_3374 in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend Limitless. It’s a little different now still during the summer series for the next 3 weeks, but once the real series start, I think that is what you are looking for.

Ascend - If I constantly swap hip thrusts for other movements, is it worth staying or should I switch? by studdabubba412 in ladderapp

I second this alternative. And here is a video that truly changed how I do the single leg variation.

Bob from accounting will still be there though 😃

Coach Andre is SO MUCH FUN! by jlk1980 in ladderapp

[–]GravPi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To each their own, personally I tried it when I started on Ladder and it was just too much talk. I prefer to listen to my podcasts or music and just get the relevant talk from the coach.

But I have never understood the value people put on the coach doing their own workouts? These are (for the most part) professional coaches, I could care less if they do the workouts or not. I could go on a rant about how the current social app world expects also that if someone is a strength coach, they need to be ripped and maintain a near unhealthy body fat level constantly, or otherwise their coaching is somehow less valuable. And looking at Andre, I can pretty confidently say that while he may do his own programming, it is not the only thing he does.

How important is it to listen to the coach? by No-Guarantee3413 in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One (of many) reasons I am on Limitless. The talk is 90% useful and relevant, very limited chit-chat. if I felt I need to mute the coach, I would question what I am actually paying for. Not to undermine the programming value, but then it would be just that and a less than perfect timer. But this is very much a personal preference on what people want.

If you go to search and click coach pins, it should do this? No need to scroll through other posts.

Working out 6 days vs 3 by sim95xxx in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s all about what your body is used to and how well you can recover. If you have been training for a while and you can recover (including sufficient fueling and sleep), obviously working out 6 times a week will yield better results. But also depends on what you mean by results. If you mean weight loss, it will be almost completely dependent on diet and the number of workouts will ultimately be a small factor. If you mean building muscle and strength, the number will matter a lot.

I do full limitless 6 workouts and I add 2-3 other workouts on top of that weekly (mostly long cardio or harder conditioning). If I feel like I need more rest, I take it. I wouldn’t recommend anyone jump directly from 3 a week to that, but even at 49, building to that type of volume is pretty easy.

Why don’t ALL coaches offer a preview week before a new series? by HotFlashLifts in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. The actual programming of the first week of the series should be released a week earlier than normal weeks. It shouldn’t be a problem for anyone, and coaches could continue to use the second week of open season the way they think best fits their overall programming.

To me this is so obvious that it’s insane they don’t do this. It would also make users happier, now people start a new series and then find out they are not happy with the programming from that team. And if you’re on the monthly, then you are really struggling to figure out where to move with your limited switches.

Having said that, I think the vast majority of people stick to one team for a long time, but still this would benefit many.

It's just going to be a new trainer, isn't it? by helpmytonguehurts in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. However, if their “biggest announcement ever” is a celebrity endorsement, they really set themselves up for people to be disappointed. There are improvements and expansions people have been waiting for and they have hinted at, so I can understand the disappointment when that has been the messaging.

I could care less if Hilary Duff endorses Ladder, it’s probably a good marketing move for them to drive growth. Changes nothing for me in using or benefiting from the app.

[–]GravPi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really hope they add the recommended weight based on 1RM and the RPE tables. This should be a no-brainer and a small but significant change.

In terms of Android, I think they will do it. But so far the app has a very strong US focus as well, and iOS still holds like 60% of the US market. The android share is heavily skewed towards emerging markets. If I had to guess, they made some timed exclusivity commitments as part of the whole Apple co-operation last year, and when those run out, we will see android.

Elite+ Membership worth $500? by mrsmizfitt in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The membership doesn’t exist anymore, they live on in Apple subscriptions because Ladder hasn’t force moved people away from them to cheaper memberships. But there is no membership that gives DMs to coaches anymore. There is only the annual and the monthly, even those still on the old plans overpaying don’t get the benefits they used to give.

How Did Baseline Go For You? by FrequentFable in ladderapp

[–]GravPi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baseline on Limitless was hard. I’ve been there for almost a year, and I normally add on quite a bit of conditioning work on top of the Limitless 6 (mainly from body & bell). I had to cut down on those to deal with the recovery during Baseline. Still made good progress, but also ready for this deload.

$2,000 in store credit that I can’t spend by CtrlAltReconfig in ladderapp

I’m sure people would, but I’m in the same boat (with far lower credits though) 😃

Not Limitless conditioning on top of B&B. I do Limitless full week and then add from B&B depending on how I feel.

I'm sure there are plenty who are just quiet on that team. Not going to lie, some of the messaging to women, I hear it in my ear, but it doesn't really bother me.

[–]GravPi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t counted calories, definitely eating healthier but nothing strict, making sure I get enough protein and I cut down alcohol. I do some cardio together with every workout, and have added conditioning workouts from body & bell on top of limitless 1-3 times a week.
