Muscle Map is a strength training and workout tracker built around a visual muscle map. Instead of only logging sets, reps, and weight, Muscle Map helps you see how every workout affects your body. Track trained muscles, monitor recovery, spot weak areas, and plan your next session with more confidence. Key features: • Visual Muscle Map See the status of 14 major muscle groups across your chest, back, shoulders, arms, core, glutes, and legs. • Structured Training Plans Choose plans based on your goal, experience level, and training setup, including beginner full-body training, push pull legs, dumbbell hypertrophy, fat loss, and bodyweight workouts. • Exercise Library Browse strength exercises with target muscles, step-by-step instructions, common mistakes, recommended sets, and alternatives. • Workout Logging Track weight, reps, RPE, completed sets, and workout duration. During a session, Muscle Map shows which muscles you are training in real time. • Recovery and Progress Insights Review muscle intensity, recovery status, weekly progress, training volume, muscle coverage, and personal records. • Built for Different Training Setups Use Muscle Map at the gym, at home with dumbbells, or with bodyweight-only workouts. Muscle Map is designed for lifters who want more structure, better muscle balance, and a clearer view of their training progress. Note: Muscle Map provides workout tracking and fitness reference information only. It is not medical advice. Please train according to your own health and fitness level.
