Differences between xls template and app

Hi,
I really like the barbell medicine app and I’ve been using it to log my progress through the strength I template. As I go through, I’ve noticed some differences between the xls template and the app, and I just wanted to check which is preferred (or give you a heads up if they are supposed to be identical).

For example, week 4 GPP day 2 has no cardio in the app, but the template suggests 30min. Or week 5 day 1 has deadlifts with bands in the app, but 2 count paused deadlifts in the template. I’ve been doing deadlifts with bands for the first 4 weeks, so is it better to switch to paused (as in the spreadsheet ) or stick with bands (as in the app) in week 5?

I’ve mostly been following the xls when there is a difference assuming the app might missing things because it is so new, but I wanted to check if the app is actually a newer/preferred version of the program.

Thanks for catching this. We’ll get it fixed in the app ASAP. To answer your question, the excel sheet is correct and app is in err if they are different.
