POWRLOG is a science-based strength and hypertrophy app built around Auto-Regulated Progressive Overload (ARPO) — the same principles used by elite coaches and evidence-based athletes. Instead of guessing what weight to use or manually tracking progression, POWRLOG calculates it for you. Every session, the app adjusts your weights based on your actual performance — so you're always training at the right intensity. WHAT MAKES POWRLOG DIFFERENT • ARPO Auto-Progression — weights update automatically after every session based on how you performed. No spreadsheets, no guesswork. • Double Progression — alternate between rep and load progression for strength-focused training blocks. • Myo-Rep Sets — cluster set methodology that maximises effective reps while cutting time in the gym. • Mesocycle Periodization — structured training blocks with built-in deload logic, just like a real coach programs. • Smart 3-Tier Rest Timers — rest periods calibrated by movement type (compound vs isolation vs myo-rep). • Recovery Intelligence — reads HRV, resting heart rate, and sleep data from Apple Health to flag when you need to back off. • Personalised Nutrition — calorie and macro targets based on your stats, goal, and activity level. • Body Composition Tracking — log weight, body fat %, and FFMI over time. • Volume Landmarks — MEV and MAV tracking per muscle group so you always know if you're in the right training volume range. • PR Notifications — instant feedback when you hit a personal record. • Pre-built Templates — Arnold Split, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper/Lower, Full Body, Bro Split, and more. NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED POWRLOG works entirely on-device. No sign-up, no cloud sync required, no subscription. 3 FREE WORKOUTS Try the full app. Every feature, no restrictions for your first 3 sessions. Then unlock everything with a single one-time payment. ONE-TIME PURCHASE No monthly fees. No annual renewals. Pay once and own POWRLOG forever. Founding member pricing available for a limited time. BUILT FOR SERIOUS LIFTERS Whether you're running a 3-day full body or a 6-day Arnold split, POWRLOG handles the programming logic so you can focus on training.
