## What is Lift Heavy?

Lift Heavy is the logbook for people who take lifting seriously — fast, clean, no fluff. Load the bar, track every set, and watch your numbers climb.

BUILT FOR LIFTERS
• Lightning-fast logging — punch in weight, reps, and RPE on the built-in number pad, no keyboard in the way.
• 80+ built-in exercises plus your own — barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, and any custom movement or gym machine you train on.
• Automatic PR detection — see every new best the moment you hit it.
• Built-in 5/3/1 calculator — enter your maxes and get every working set and warm-up, rounded to real plates.
• Smart warm-up sets and plate math — see exactly what to load, with men's, women's, or a custom bar.

PLAN YOUR TRAINING
• Build full programs in the visual builder — week by week, with progress tracking.
• Discover ready-made programs and download them straight into your plans.
• Meaningful analytics, free for everyone: volume, training density, Strength Score, body heatmap, and Swift Charts trends.

HYBRID & CONDITIONING
• Nine block types for real training — straight sets, supersets, circuits, AMRAP, EMOM, For Time, rest-pause, drop sets, and clusters.
• Guided EMOM, Tabata, AMRAP, and For Time players that pace every round — on iPhone and Apple Watch.
• Seven input types cover barbell work, bodyweight, and the ergs — weight/reps, reps-only, calories/time, distance/time, time-only, distance-only, and calories-only.

CAPTURE A WORKOUT, YOUR WAY
• Say it out loud or snap a photo of a whiteboard or notebook — Lift Heavy turns it into a structured, editable workout, ready to log.
• Review and fix anything before you save — nothing is logged until you say so.
• Your voice is transcribed on your device. (Workout structuring uses AI and is provided in English.)

SEAMLESS ACROSS DEVICES
• Apple Watch — log right from your wrist and hand off an active workout between iPhone and Watch. Structured blocks (EMOM, AMRAP, For Time, supersets, circuits) show and log on your wrist.
• Siri & Shortcuts — start and log workouts by voice.
• Import your history from Hevy, Strong, or FitNotes; export as CSV or JSON.

Available in English, Spanish, and German. Download the app, log your first set, and start lifting heavy.

### 5/5 — Best Lifting App, Dev Actually Listens to Feedback, Download now. Minor bug with workout to plan.

*2026-09-16*

I love when a dev makes their app amazing. I would maybe pay a little bit for this app if I had to. Really the best lifting app out there. Thanks a ton Developer. 

One thing, transferring over a workout to a plan changes all the weights to the top set weight. Other than that, fantastic.




Old Review:

I got to a very serious gym which has lots of niche equipment. I'm not able to just write "Lat Pulldown" and I would prefer the even put the full commercial name of the piece written by the manufacturer. I left the app and it deleted my whole template.

It would be great if it didn't do that. But also it would be great if I could put a picture of the equipment too, so I don't have to lookup the name and company when I get confused about what piece it is, when I am at home. And I need to be able to switch from lbs to kgs because my gym has certain equipment and plates that are only kg and it would make it a lot easier if I didn't have to do the conversion manually every time.

Other than that, I really like this app. Easy to use, has RPE, makes warmup sets for you with a quick calculation button inside your exercise (no moving across the app for that feature), and doesn't have 800 BS workouts or make you sign up like a different app that sucks (HEVY).

That being said it needs 3 crucial things.

1. The ability to chart half reps and make notes for a single set.

2. The ability to easily make templates with commercial equipment (without it deleting your progress mid-template because you were looking up your gyms niche—but also third—lat pulldown variant machine). I want to be able to set a small picture of that equipment too or be able to submit one that came from the manufacturers website.

3. Be able to switch from lbs to kgs for certain pieces or just mid exercise. Some machines I use come from Europe and Asia and don't even have a lb sticker and make me have to make that conversion itself.

Doesn't need but would be great to have:

4. Lift timer with dynamic resting. So if I need an extra 30 seconds or a minute, I would like to be able to see that. Along with the lift timer, I would like to be able to chart HOW I lifted it (drag reps, pause reps, etc.).

Once it gets those things, I don't see any reason at all I would ever use the top rated lifting apps. Those apps are all junky and then this app is just a few features/changes away to being the best app you can download. Great UI, meaningful notifications. 

When it gets those features I will recommend this app to everyone in my gym and change my review, guaranteed.

**Developer response:** **Update**
 everything on your list is in 2.9, live now. Templates autosave. Per-set notes and partial reps. Per-exercise kg/lb toggle. Photos on any exercise. +30s / +1m on the rest timer. Pause, tempo, cluster and drop set tags per set.

We appreciate your feedback and we want you to know real feedback gets built. You said you'd update the review once it landed. It landed.

Let me know if anything seems off, james@lfthvy.app.



Thanks for writing this up in detail. Losing your template when you left the app is a bug, not a design choice, and it's the first thing I'm fixing. Templates should autosave every edit.

On the rest: per-set notes and a per-exercise lbs/kg toggle are small and I'm putting them next. Custom exercise photos and rep-style tagging (pause, half, drag) are bigger changes and I want to do them right rather than fast, so no date yet. Dynamic rest extension on the timer is on the list too.

We are a small team and we build off feedback like this. If you email me at James@lfthvy.app.  I'll let you know when each of these lands, and I'd take a photo of that lat pulldown variant if you want to send it.

### 5/5 — Just what I’ve been looking for!

*2026-03-04*

This app is so user-friendly and I love the templates!  As someone who historically has tracked workouts in the notes app, this is a game changer!

**Developer response:** Love that! The notes app grind is real. Glad Lift Heavy could level that up for you. More updates coming soon!

### 5/5 — No subscription fees!

*2026-01-30*

I was a little hesitant due to the lack of reviews, but this is just what I was looking for and love having no fees!

**Developer response:** Totally understand the hesitation -- appreciate you giving it a shot! The no-fee model is intentional. Enjoy the app!

### 5/5 — Seek and ye shall find!

*2026-01-23*

I had been looking for an app that is user friendly and tailored specifically to track lifting, and BAM!
My prayers were answered ! God is good! 
If you want an easy app to use look no further!

**Developer response:** This made my day! Really appreciate the kind words. More features on the way, stay tuned!

### 5/5 — Love the calculators

*2026-01-23*

I love the 1 rep max and other calculators on this app. I’m getting older in life and 1 rep max is no longer a smart bet for me (honestly though I’m not sure it ever was). But, using these calculators,  I’m able to use light or heavy weights and still track gains across a bunch of lifts.

**Developer response:** This is exactly why I built those calculators. Train smart, track progress, no ego lifting required. More calculator features in the pipeline!

### 2.9.0 — 2026-09-11

Built for people who actually train:

• Log partial reps and per-set notes without breaking your flow.
• Tag reps as paused, tempo, cluster, or rest-pause — your 1RM only counts the ones that should.

• Add your own photo to any exercise.
• The rest timer now takes +30s / +1m mid-set, and templates autosave so you never lose one.

### 2.8.0 — 2026-09-09

Lift Heavy 2.8 — more ways to train and log:

• 5/3/1 calculator: enter your maxes, get every working set and warm-up, rounded to real plates.

Lift heavy. Track every set. Get stronger.

### 2.7 — 2026-08-14

CAPTURE A WORKOUT JUST BY SAYING IT — OR SNAPPING A PHOTO
• Describe your workout out loud and Lift Heavy structures it into sets, reps, and blocks for you.
• Or snap a photo of a whiteboard or notebook and get the same structured, editable workout.
• Review before you save — tap to fix a movement, add or remove a set. Nothing is logged until you're ready.
• Your voice is transcribed on your device.

Plus polish throughout: cleaner exercise details, a tidier workout list, and fixes to the guided EMOM/AMRAP timers so they keep running when you leave the screen.

Thanks for lifting heavy. Keep the feedback coming.

### 2.6 — 2026-07-25

**Sharper on your wrist. Better wins to share.**

- **Watch workouts keep running.** Start a timed block on Apple Watch, glance away
  or let the screen sleep — the pacing keeps going and picks up right where it
  should when you come back. EMOM, Tabata, AMRAP and For Time each got a cleaner,
  redesigned player with a big countdown ring and a simple pause.
- **A calmer watch home.** Start a workout, jump into plans, or take over one
  that's running on your phone — one clear tap for each.
- **New ways to share your win.** Fresh share-card styles — a blueprint Spec
  Sheet, a workout Receipt, "Bison Math," and a sticker bomb — plus one-tap
  sharing straight to your Instagram Story.
- **Went to failure? Show it.** Mark sets taken to failure and get a "TO FAILURE"
  badge on your share card.
- **A cleaner Progress tab.** Personal Records now shows only lifts you actually
  did, the time filter works on every tab, duplicate cards are gone, and training
  density finally makes sense.
- **Easier watch logging.** Bigger, easier-to-hit buttons for logging sets on the
  wrist.
- Plus reliability fixes and polish throughout.

### 2.5 — 2026-07-09

Timed workouts that pace themselves.

• Guided players for EMOM, AMRAP & Tabata — a big countdown ring paces every interval, cues you before time runs out, and auto-advances. No more watching the clock.
• On your wrist too — the same guided player runs on Apple Watch, and a workout you start on your phone can hand off to the watch in a tap.
• HYROX race, built in one tap — drop the full 8-station race (with the 1 km runs) into any workout, ready to log.
• Smarter targets — set reps, weight, or distance on timed blocks and your sets are pre-built, so logging is a single tap.
• Better backups — export and restore now include your block workouts and plans, not just standard sets.
• Share wins to Feed or Story — pick the format and your card fits Instagram perfectly either way.

Plus reliability fixes and polish throughout.
