LiftMax: Strength Training

Most training apps are a logbook. You write down what you did, and deciding what to do next is still your problem.

LiftMax does that part for you. Log your sets, and it works out the weight, sets and reps for your next session from your own history — then adjusts as you go. For free!

HOW IT DECIDES

Every set you log updates an estimated one-rep max for that exercise. Prescriptions come off the trend across recent sessions rather than a single good day, so one heavy session doesn't send the next one somewhere you can't follow.

It also learns how you rate effort. Reps-in-reserve judgement is a skill, and most lifters under-rate what they have left — which quietly drags every prescription too light. LiftMax measures your personal bias and corrects for it.

Come back after time off and it backs the load off rather than picking up where you left it.

BUILT FOR THE GYM, NOT THE SPREADSHEET
• Weights land on loads you can actually build — prescriptions are rounded down to a sensible step for that equipment, never a number you can't make
• Tell it when a lift has hit the top of the rack or the last pin, and it stops prescribing past what the equipment holds
• Warm-up sets calculated before your first working set
• Over 200 exercises, with your own additions alongside them
• 18 routine templates — body parts, splits, or built around the equipment to hand
• Per-exercise overrides when the standard progression doesn't suit a lift
• Track personal bests and goals, and see where a lift sits against general strength standards
• Log past workouts you did away from the app
• Kilograms or pounds
