## What is BrutalMaxer?

Lift. Log. Get stronger.

BrutalMaxer is a no-fluff workout tracker built on 12-week programs and progressive overload. It tells you what to lift today, then gets out of the way.

What you get
• 15 built-in programs: hypertrophy splits, full body, push pull legs, bodyweight-only and conditioning circuits. Or build your own.
• Muscle focus: pick up to two muscles to grow. The program adds work for them and keeps every other muscle trained, so leg day never disappears.
• Next target: every exercise shows what to lift today, worked out from last time and how your sets felt.
• Fast logging: steppers, last time's numbers filled in, one tap to finish a set.
• 3D demos: a 3D model shows every exercise in every program. Rotate it, slow it down, see the muscles it works.
• Rest timer: starts on its own, keeps counting in the background and alerts you when it's time to lift.
• Progress: PRs, a training calendar and streak, a PR board for every lift and a bodyweight trend.
• Supersets, pounds or kilograms, and a plate calculator.
• Works offline. Your data stays on your phone, with a backup every day.
