You already have a plan. It's in your coach's PDF, on a page of your notebook, on the gym wall or buried in your camera roll. Peak Progress turns it into something you can actually log, so you stop hunting for it between sets. Completely free. No ads. No subscriptions. BRING THE PLAN YOU ALREADY HAVE • Snap a photo of a printed or handwritten plan, or upload a PDF, Word, Excel or OpenDocument file • Peak Progress reads it and sets it up as a routine, with your workouts and exercises as you wrote them • Prefer to type it in? Build it yourself from the exercise library YOUR PLAN, AS WRITTEN • "Flat BB bench", "DB shoulder press", even a typo: each name lands on the right exercise • Switch programmes and your history comes with you, because the same lift keeps one history across routines and names NEVER GUESS YOUR WEIGHT AGAIN • Every set shows what you lifted last time, right in the weight box • See at a glance whether you went up, matched or dropped compared with last time • Big, easy number entry built for between sets WATCH IT CLIMB • Personal bests for every exercise: heaviest weight, most reps, best estimated 1RM • Strength trend charts per exercise • Calendar of every session you've logged SAVED ON THIS PHONE • No signal at the gym? Logging still works and saves on your phone • It backs up to your account when you're back online Peak Progress doesn't try to be your coach. It just makes the plan you already follow easier to track.
