What's your rank? Spotter is a strength tracker built for lifters who want their progress to mean something. Log your lifts and watch your rank climb across every exercise. Bench, squat, deadlift, and 500+ more, each with its own tier ladder from Bronze to Legend. Your overall rank is calculated from the Big Three. The catch? Ranks never go down. Once you've earned a tier, it's yours. WHY SPOTTER Every lift has its own rank, scored against bodyweight using allometric scaling. A 200 lb bench from a 150 lb lifter is worth more than the same lift from a 220 lb lifter. Spotter calculates that. Compete in 1-on-1 duels. Pick a lift, pick a window, agree on a metric. Winner takes the bragging rights. Climb leaderboards with your friends and the global community. Daily and weekly quests reward consistency, not just peaks. Log your sets, hit your streaks, level up. A real social feed. Post your PRs, react to your friends' lifts, talk training. WHO IT'S FOR Lifters at every level. Whether you're benching plates for the first time or pulling 600, your rank reflects where you actually stand. Beginners climb fast. Advanced lifters earn it. WHAT YOU NEED A free account. Your bodyweight. Lifts to log. That's it.
