Your physique, scored. Take a front and back photo. In 60 seconds, PhysiqMax scores every muscle group and shows you exactly what to train next. Then track the lifts, log your meals, climb the ranks, and rescan to see it worked. Workout tracking, ranks, and friends are free. Scans unlock with Pro. — WHY PHYSIQMAX IS DIFFERENT — Every other lifting app logs what you did. None of them can see what it's actually doing to your body. PhysiqMax closes that loop: scan, train, eat, rank, rescan. Your training gets pointed at your weak points instead of your favorites. — WHAT YOU GET — SCORE EVERY MUSCLE GROUP Chest, back, shoulders, arms, abs, legs — each scored individually from front and back. Plus overall ratings for muscle mass, symmetry, leanness, definition, and potential. Know which areas are ahead and which are lagging before your next session. RANKED BODYGRAPH Your full anatomy, color-coded by rank. Tap any muscle to see where it stands. The clearest picture of your development you'll get without a lab. TRACK YOUR WORKOUTS — FREE Log lifts, sets, and volume with previous-set history and rest timers. Every exercise carries its own rank, so a heavy session moves something visible. SNAP YOUR MEALS Take a photo of your plate and get estimated calories, protein, carbs, and fat in seconds. Edit any item, log water, and set daily nutrition goals built around your body and your goal. No barcode scanning, no searching databases. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Connect Apple Health to see your steps and calories burned right next to your food log. PhysiqMax only reads from Apple Health, and your Health data stays on your iPhone. CLIMB THE RANKS — FREE Bronze to Champion, with LP for every ranked lift and scan. Strength Rank and Physique Rank combine into one overall tier. Streaks and levels keep the pressure on. FRIENDS & LEADERBOARDS — FREE Add friends, compare ranks, and settle it on the leaderboard. PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE Every scan saves. Watch your score move week over week on a real chart, with side-by-side history — not vibes. — WHO IT'S FOR — Lifters chasing recomposition Athletes who want to train their weak points, not their favorites People who want calorie tracking without the tedious logging Anyone tired of guessing what's changing — PHYSIQMAX PRO — Unlock physique scans and scan-driven training: Monthly: $12.99/mo Yearly: $29.99/yr Subscriptions auto-renew unless canceled 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Apple ID settings. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Your scans and your data are yours. We never sell your information.
