Calgary Barbell Training App vs Simple Weightlifter

Members of the Calgary Barbell Training Team get a multi-faceted resource to help propel your training beyond just downloading a template with 0 guidance. Our App includes: Programming: You get access to a continuously growing library of nearly 50 programs, and access to any new programs added. These plans run the gamut from competition-specific powerlifting peaks to powerbuilding, equipped lifting, and cater to a wide array of experience levels, from first-time lifters to advanced powerlifters. Tools for Individualization: There are many baked-in tools to help you swap and modify the programming to *actually* suit your *individual* needs. You're not locked into a spreadsheet template, you actually have interactive programming. Beyond this, using our community Discord, our coaches will actually guide you in making those decisions and individualizations. Extensive Training Log: Track your progress, store and upload all of your training footage (no more full phones from trying to keep track of your lifting footage!), and always be able to reference back to your past training data quickly and easily. Sync data from Apple Health to stay accountable with step counts, bodyweight tracking, and nutritional data/ Coaching: Through our exclusive app-users-only Discord, Bryce and the Calgary Barbell coaches do weekly video check-ins and are constantly available to answer questions about the programs, take suggestions for new programs, and generally offer a very hands-on coaching experience alongside the program library. Features to highlight include - Know exactly what weight to put on the bar for optimal training (%1RM / RPE) - Upload videos and share them. - Keep track of your actual results directly in the app - Watch exercise demo videos directly in the app to perfect your lifting technique - Automatically track all your training metrics to ensure you are progressing toward your goal - Mark sets off as complete as you progress through your workout to stay organized. - Sync your account with HealthKit to track all your health and fitness data in one place including nutrition, steps and bodyweight. - and much more…

No account. No cloud. No subscription. Your training lives on your device — private, offline, and always yours. Simple Weightlifter is a workout log for people who lift: track sets, reps and weight for every gym session — barbell, dumbbell or bodyweight — and let the app do the math. ON YOUR WRIST The Apple Watch app runs the whole workout. Start on either device and the two stay in step — log a set on your watch and your iPhone already knows. Each set opens with the exact plates to load, rest is counted down on your wrist, and heart rate and calories are recorded so the session counts towards your Activity rings. Out of range of your phone? Keep going. It all syncs when you're back together. SEE YOUR PROGRESS Every exercise keeps a chart of the weight you've actually lifted, so months of training fit on one screen. Jump straight to it from any day in the calendar. Missed targets are marked, so a plateau is obvious. PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD, HANDLED Set a starting weight and an increment. Hit your target and the app adds weight for next time; miss it and the weight holds where it is. Squat, bench, deadlift, 5x5, or a program of your own. PLATE CALCULATOR BUILT IN Tell the app which plates you own and it shows every loadable weight and exactly what goes on each side of the bar. No more mental arithmetic between sets. REST TIMER ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN A Live Activity keeps your rest timer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so you always know when the next set is due. BUILT FOR YOUR GYM Multiple bars per profile, and a profile for each place you train — home gym, commercial gym, travel kit — with its own plates. Switch between them in seconds. Kilograms or pounds, your choice. YOUR DATA, YOUR WAY Export a complete backup any time and import it on another device. No middleman, no server, no lock-in. Your export is your full training history, even if you delete the app. WORKS WITH APPLE HEALTH Optionally write workouts and calories to Apple Health, and read your body weight for better estimates. Entirely your choice, revocable any time in Settings. Simple. Private. Yours.
