Read full description

A focused strength-training log for lifters who train heavy first. RPT is built around reverse pyramid training: hit your heaviest set while you're fresh, then reduce the weight and chase strong back-off sets. It keeps the workout flow fast, private, and focused on progressive overload instead of generic fitness noise. Training tools: - Log live workouts with set editing, RPE, rest timer, and completion check-offs - Get RPT back-off weight suggestions from your top set - Generate low-fatigue warm-up ramps before heavy work - Re-run completed sessions as follow-up workouts - Plan templates, plate math, and 1RM estimates without spreadsheets Progress tracking: - Lifetime workouts, streak, volume, and average duration - 16-week consistency heatmap - Weekly volume trends and muscle-balance views - Personal records and estimated 1RM trends - CSV export for your full training history with RPT Pro Private by design: No account. No tracking. No ads. Your training data stays on device unless you export it yourself. RPT Free includes the core training loop: workout logging, starter template, and basic stats. RPT Pro is a one-time lifetime upgrade for advanced analytics, unlimited custom templates, and full CSV export.
