About

Torqe

Read full description

You know what you want to do at the gym. You've planned your sets, your reps, your weights. What you've never had is an app that holds that plan alongside what you're doing โ€” in real time, every set. And one that automatically manages your periodization cycle from your one-rep max. Torqe is built for lifters who program their own training. Set your target weight, sets, and reps before you lift. Log your actuals as you go. See both on the same screen. When you finish, Torqe reviews every exercise where you hit your targets โ€” and suggests your next weight increase. For your primary compound lifts, Torqe now automates full 16-week periodization cycles. Enter your one-rep max, mark the lift as a periodization lift, and Torqe calculates every weight, rep, and set across four mesocycles โ€” automatically. When the cycle ends, your new 1RM is calculated and the next cycle begins heavier. WHAT TORQE DOES DIFFERENTLY Every other app tracks what you lifted. Torqe tracks what you planned to lift โ€” and shows both side by side, every set. Every other app makes you manage your own periodization in a spreadsheet. Torqe automates the entire 16-week cycle from a single input. We tested 15+ of the most popular workout apps before building this. Not one of them had either feature. WHAT YOU GET โ€” Set target weight, sets, and reps for every exercise before you train โ€” Log your actuals alongside your targets on the same screen โ€” See immediately where you hit, missed, or exceeded your plan โ€” Built-in rest timer between sets โ€” Post-workout progression review โ€” every exercise where you hit targets gets a suggested weight increase โ€” Previous session always visible so you know exactly what to beat โ€” 16-week automated periodization cycles for primary lifts โ€” four mesocycles, built-in deload weeks, automatic 1RM recalculation WHO THIS IS FOR You already know your program. You know what exercises you're doing, roughly what weights you're moving, and what you're working toward. You don't need an app that tells you what to do. You need one that tracks whether you did what you planned โ€” and manages your periodization cycle while you focus on lifting. If that's you, Torqe was built for you. Free. No subscription. No ads.
