The name is a funny thing, this app has been a hobby of mine I have been working on here and there for a bit. It has always been geared towards the serious lifting crowd.
I thought the name was easy to remember, easy to tell someone that they can spell again, and was slightly controversial (as seen in this thread!)
But since I am gearing this towards serious folks I don't think they will act like noobs do and fear overtraining like its some kind of infection one suddenly contracts with after doing one extra set. In fact most of the people I talked to (standing around between sets), mostly people that compete in bodybuilding and power lifting, thought that the name was funny as most people would call what they do 'overtraining'.
Since there are a lot of obviously knowledgeable people here let me ask, do you think you will remember the name now? do you think if it was named some random jumble of letters you would remember it more or less?
Anyway thanks for all the feedback!

It's only tangentially related to how much you work out. It's extremely serious too. One of my friends wasn't allowed to use his legs for several months, so he had to sit on the couch and watch cartoons all day.
