LiftBetter is a science-based workout planner that creates a personalised gym workout program based on your goals, training experience, schedule and preferences. Instead of giving everyone the same workout routine, LiftBetter builds a training plan that is designed specifically for you. Whether your goal is building muscle, getting stronger, improving your physique or staying consistent in the gym, LiftBetter helps you know exactly what to do every workout. A workout plan that is actually personalised Many fitness apps claim to create personalised workout plans, but most still rely on generic templates with only a few small adjustments. LiftBetter takes a much more detailed approach. The app starts by looking at your availability and generates multiple workout split options that fit your schedule. You can choose the split that best suits your lifestyle, making it much easier to stay consistent over the long term. You can then customise your training goals in as much detail as you want. You can: * Choose how much you want to train 21 different muscle groups. * Select from 7 different training emphasis levels for every muscle group. * Rank your muscle groups by priority. * Set your training experience and overall fitness goals. Science-based workout programming Every workout is built using evidence-based training principles. The app considers factors such as: * Weekly training volume * Training frequency * Recovery between workouts * Exercise selection * Progressive overload * Muscle group priorities * Your available training days Instead of randomly assigning exercises, LiftBetter creates a structured workout program designed to help you make consistent progress. Know exactly what to do in the gym Every workout tells you exactly what to do. You'll always know: * Which exercises to perform * How many sets to complete * Your target rep range * Your target RIR (Reps In Reserve) * How long to rest between sets Every exercise also includes a video tutorial so you can learn proper technique and perform each movement with confidence. Track every workout This is more than a workout planner. It also functions as a complete workout tracker. Log your: * Weight * Repetitions * Sets * RIR * Workout history The app automatically stores your previous performance so you always know what you achieved last time, making progressive overload simple to follow. Visualise your progress Track your improvement over time with detailed training statistics. See your: * Exercise progress * Personal records * Training volume * Workout streaks * Strength improvements Clear progress visualisations help you stay motivated and make better training decisions. Built to help you stay consistent Consistency is one of the biggest predictors of long-term results. LiftBetter removes uncertainty from your training by giving you a clear plan every time you enter the gym. Built-in rest timers, progress tracking, personalised workout schedules and clear exercise guidance help you spend less time wondering what to do and more time training. Perfect for * Muscle building (hypertrophy) * Strength training * Beginners looking for structure * Intermediate and advanced lifters * Anyone wanting a personalised workout plan * Gym users who want to train smarter Why us? Unlike traditional workout apps that provide generic routines, LiftBetter creates a workout program around your individual goals, schedule and priorities. Whether you train two days or six days per week, want to prioritise your chest, shoulders or legs, or simply want a structured gym workout that helps you make consistent progress, your program will be adapted. *LiftBetter offers a 3-day Free Trial, after which a subscription is necessary to use all features. ‘Powered by fatsecret nutrition API’ (www.fatsecret.com) Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/lines-privacy-policy/homepage
