About

Ladder tells you exactly what to lift next. It tracks step loading: a simple way to get stronger by earning more sets and reps before you add weight. HOW IT WORKS Each lift climbs a 9-step ladder of sets and reps, from 3×3 to 5×5: 3×3 → 3×4 → 3×5 → 4×3 → 4×4 → 4×5 → 5×3 → 5×4 → 5×5 • Complete every set and you move up a step. • Finish 5×5, add weight and start again at 3×3. • Miss a set and you drop back one step at the same weight. No percentages, no spreadsheets, no math in the gym. GUIDED WORKOUTS • Ladder shows you the set, the reps and the weight for today's step. • Tap to complete a set and the rest timer starts on its own. • A notification tells you when rest is over, even with your phone locked. • The rest screen is dark, with large numbers you can read from across the gym. • If you close the app mid-workout, it picks up right where you left off. • Need to leave early? Quit without saving and nothing changes. EVERY LIFT ON ITS OWN LADDER Squat, bench, deadlift, press, or anything you like. Each lift keeps its own weight, increment and step, so they progress independently. You can adjust any of them by hand, for example to start partway through the matrix. A CLEAR HISTORY Every session is logged with what you lifted and how it went: completed, which set you failed, or a weight increase. Browse by week, filter by lift, show only failed sessions, and add a note or RPE after each workout. YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account, no sign-up and no tracking. Everything is stored on your device and never leaves it.
