OlyPro™ analyzes Olympic weightlifting technique using computer vision. Record your snatch, clean, or jerk from the side and get a real bar-path trajectory, fault detection, and targeted drills tuned to what your lifts actually show. WHAT IT DOES OlyPro detects the barbell and your body position frame-by-frame during a lift. From that it builds a real bar-path trajectory, classifies the lift (snatch, clean, power clean, muscle clean, clean & jerk), and surfaces measurable technique issues — looping bar, slow turnover, cutting pull, low contact, hitching, starting position. Each fault has a severity from 1 to 4 so you know what to work on first. Then it picks drills. Each drill targets a specific fault and gives you biofeedback on the one metric that matters for that fault — so you train the fix, not the general lift. FEATURES - Bar-path trajectory overlay on every recorded lift - Automatic snatch / clean / jerk classification - Six fault types with severity scoring (1–4) - Drill library mapped to each fault, with per-rep metrics - Detailed lift analysis: peak velocity, height drop, range, hip offset, and more - Cloud backup of every lift (videos + analysis); review your training over time - Apple Watch companion for live lift counts and quick drill recall - Imperial or metric units; light + dark mode WHO IT'S FOR Olympic weightlifters and CrossFit athletes who want measurable feedback on Oly technique. OlyPro works best on bright, side-on footage; the lifter should be centered at belly height with the close plate fully visible at the top of the pull. IMPORTANT OlyPro is training feedback, not a substitute for in-person coaching. Detection results and fault thresholds are guiding information, not definitive truth — they're calibrated to help guide training, not to evaluate failure or pass / fail a lift. Not medical advice. Consult your physician before starting any exercise program. SUBSCRIPTION OlyPro offers auto-renewing subscriptions — Basic and Gold, each available monthly or yearly — with a 7-day free trial on the monthly plans. Current prices are shown in the app before you purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Lifting Lab
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lifting Lab is a training app built for one sport: the snatch and the clean & jerk. Tell it how you feel and it builds today's session, or follow a periodized program. Film your lifts, see them split into phases, find out why you missed, and walk into meet day ready. No sensor needed, and no subscription needed to log your training. IT BUILDS TODAY'S SESSION Energy, soreness, your equipment, the time you have. Lifting Lab builds the day around them: the right lift for today's rotation, strength work that avoids what's sore, accessories that balance it. Then it is yours to reorder, swap, or dial up or down. IT PROGRAMS THE CYCLE Periodized cycles, from technique and strength through specification, peak and masters, built off your real PRs, not a generic table. Every set arrives with target weight, percentage and plates already loaded. Miss a session and it reschedules it. IT SEES THE LIFT Film a set on your phone. Bar Trace plots the bar path and splits it into first pull, transition, second pull, turnover and catch. Peak speed, mean pull speed and bar height, and a side-by-side compare against your best lift. No sensor, no pairing. IT TELLS YOU WHY YOU MISSED Technique Doctor names the fault, the likely causes and corrective drills, and flags it when the same fault shows up twice. IT KNOWS THE SPORT Sinclair, openers, Prilepin ranges, plate math for your gym's actual inventory, warm-up ramps shaped the way a coach would set them, and strength ratios that show where your lifts sit against each other. MEET DAY The warm-up room runs on attempts, not the clock. It counts your warm-ups, tells you when to take the next one, and tracks your six attempts on the board. TRAIN WHERE YOU TRAIN Set a gym profile for your bar, plates and equipment. Switch supported lifts to dumbbells when the barbell isn't there. An illustrated exercise library covers every lift and accessory. PROGRESS THAT IS COUNTED, NOT INVENTED PR tracker, charts, levels, streaks and badges, all computed from your log. Finished workouts write to Apple Health; every Health toggle is optional. Export your data to CSV. FREE Unlimited training log and history, the adaptive daily workout builder, the Beginner Foundation program, Technique Doctor for recent lifts, PR tracker, exercise library, every calculator, warm-up generator, and three bar-path analyses every month. No account required. LIFTING LAB PRO Unlimited bar-path analyses with side-by-side compare, full Technique Doctor history, the full program library, Meet Day, and import from a VBT sensor you already own. Bar Trace works best side-on with the whole bar in frame and a steady phone. When a clip isn't good enough to measure, Lifting Lab says so and shows you why, instead of giving you a number it can't back up. Video analysis runs on your device. Pro is $12.99 per month or $99.99 per year, charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Terms: https://liftinglab.app/terms/ Privacy: https://liftinglab.app/privacy/
