Coach picks every weight, and tells you why. Loadpath is a lifting coach and workout tracker for strength training, bodybuilding and powerlifting. Log a workout in seconds while Coach adds weight when you hit your reps, eases back when you stall, and shows what it changed before every session. COACH, EXPLAINED • Coach picks every weight from what you actually lifted: up when you hit every rep, eased back after two missed sessions, with deloads built in. • Today opens with what Coach changed since last time, and each lift shows how much it moved. • Every session ends with a headline, like a new best or the lifts moving up, and what Coach changes next time, with the reason. • On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, a one-sentence summary is written on your iPhone from what you did and your note. Nothing leaves the device. • Stuck? A stalled lift gets one-tap fixes: a new rep range, easing back 10%, or a swap to a close alternative, with exactly what changes shown first. • Short on time? Coach fits today's workout into 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or makes it an easier day. Back after a break? It starts you at 90% and builds back. • A weekly Coach overview sums up your PRs and where the work went, with a poster to share. • Coach runs your own saved workouts too, not just programmes. STARTS YOU RIGHT • Answer three quick questions and Coach picks a programme to start with. • Been lifting a while? Enter what you lift now and Coach starts you just under it. New to lifting? Barbell lifts start at the empty bar and build from there. • Have your own routine? Pick your lifts and Coach sets up the sets, reps and how each one goes up. WORKOUT TRACKING MADE FAST • Log strength, cardio and timed exercises with fast inline workout logging. • Automatic Personal Record (PR) detection for weight and reps. • Track estimated one-rep max (1RM) for every exercise. • Plateau detection spots a stalled lift, and tells a dip from a real stall. SMART PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD • Create reusable workouts and organise them into multi-week training programmes. • Linear and double progression: Coach raises your weights as you hit your targets, in programmes and in your own saved workouts. • Every weight recommendation includes a clear history showing exactly why it changed. • Skip individual sets without them counting against your PRs or progression. START FROM A PROVEN PROGRAMME Ten complete training programmes are built in, ready to run on day one: • Full Body 3× • 5×5 • Push / Pull / Legs • 5/3/1 for Beginners • Upper / Lower • PHUL • GZCLP • 5/3/1 • 5/3/1 Boring But Big • Push / Pull / Legs 6× Each one arrives fully built out — every week, every day, every set and rep range — with progression and deloads already wired up. Start one and just train. CREATE YOUR PERFECT TRAINING PLAN • Build custom workouts in minutes. • Choose from 303 exercises, each with setup and technique cues. • Create supersets and circuits. • Support for bodyweight, weighted and assisted exercises. • Train in kilograms or pounds with per-exercise unit preferences. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS • Monitor training volume and estimated 1RM over time. • Progress answers "is it working?": each lift's estimated max over time, your weekly sets against your goal, and a grid of your training weeks. • See today's workout and what's coming next in your programme. • The Up Next widget puts today's workout and weights on your Home Screen or Lock Screen, with Start. A Control Centre button and Live Activities keep your workout close while you train. • Ask Siri what to lift next, start today's workout or log a rest day. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Secure iCloud sync across your Apple devices. • Your workouts live in your own private iCloud — we can't see them. • Your workout data is never sold or shared. Whether it's your first programme or you're chasing new PRs, Coach keeps every workout moving you forward.
