GainBlocks
Read full descriptionHide full description
You train, but you can't tell if it's enough. GainBlocks makes it countable. Every muscle gets a weekly target in hard sets. Every hard set you log fills one block. Fill your board before Monday, on whatever days you train. A READY SESSION EVERY TIME Open the app and start the next session. GainBlocks builds your week from the days you train: full body, upper and lower, or push, pull and legs. Same lifts in the same order, with sets, weight and reps, so you can beat last time. NO FIXED DAYS TO FALL BEHIND ON A session is never tied to a weekday and there are no missed workouts. Just blocks still open. Train Tuesday and Saturday or five days straight; the board keeps score either way. A TARGET FOR EVERY MUSCLE Tell it how often you train and which muscles you want to bring up. GainBlocks sets a weekly number for chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs and abs, with extra work where you asked for it. ONE SET CAN FILL MORE THAN ONE ROW A bench press fills a chest block and adds half a block to shoulders and triceps. You see where your week is ahead and where it is behind. IT REMEMBERS YOUR NUMBERS Open an exercise and you see what you did last time and what to take today. Beat it and the next target moves up. LOCK IN BEFORE EVERY SET Hold to lock in, then give the set everything. Log your reps, say how much you had left, and the block lands. OR DO YOUR OWN THING Tap any muscle on the board and train that instead. It all counts. Short on time? Say how long you have and GainBlocks lines up the exercises that close the biggest gaps. RECORDS GET THEIR MOMENT A new best gets a plate slam and your number in yellow. No ads. No social feed. Your training data stays in your account.
