Sportsmen: 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Classes (3-day programs) / Re: 3 Day Program

I'm not sure if this has been covered anywhere else, but...

What is the reason for having a deadlift variation prior to regular deadlifts? This is when there's not two variations on the same day, of course. For squats you go heavy first, then lighter. Why not the same for deadlifts? Would it be too taxing to start with the heavier pulls and the variation acts as a warm-up?

Just curious, since I see most people on their own programs start with regular deads and do something like pause deads afterwards.

I think just a simple "Getting started" feature when you start the app for the first time, would be good to have. Just something that shows you around the different features. I'm not sure how it is on the iOS version since I'm on android, but it seems on iOS you have more of a setup? I can't find anywhere to enter my BW, only maxes, and I'm not  getting put into any category and no program is recommended for me.

Maybe this is coming to android later on? It feels a bit barebones at the moment, compared to iOS version, in terms of configuration. Looking at Bryce's video, you can select gender, bw, raw/equipped, incriments etc. On android I only have maxes.

Unless I just can't find it.
