OwnLift is a focused program runner for lifters using 5/3/1-style barbell training. Set your training maxes, units, rounding, and cycle increases. OwnLift generates the next workout, calculates prescribed weights, and lets you log each set with as little friction as possible. Key features: - 5/3/1 Classic 4-week cycle - Training Max management for squat, bench press, deadlift, and overhead press - kg/lb units with configurable rounding - Optional warm-up sets - Today view for the next incomplete session - Prescribed work sets with weight and rep targets - AMRAP top-set logging - Automatic rest timer after completed work sets - Workout history and session details - e1RM trend, recent volume, and progress summaries - Backup export and import files - Offline-first local storage, with no account required OwnLift is built for the moment between sets: large numbers, clear actions, and a quiet interface that keeps the next lift obvious. Completed prescriptions are saved as snapshots, so past workouts stay consistent even if you later change your settings. OwnLift is an independent training log and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the creator or publisher of the 5/3/1 program.
