About

Lifter Log

Read full description

Lifter Log is the gym log & workout tracker built for lifters — for weightlifting, powerlifting, and bodybuilding alike. Log fast, watch your progress, and share what you lifted. Every set, every rep, every personal record in one place, so you always know what to do next and exactly how far you've come. WHY LIFTERS LOVE LIFTER LOG • Log every set, not just the exercise — record weight and reps independently for each set. • Pick up where you left off — each exercise pre-fills with your last session, so logging takes seconds. • Count plates, not math — log weight as a total, per side, or by tapping the plates on the bar; the app does the rest. • Watch your strength climb — volume, top-set weight, and rep charts for every exercise, made for strength training and progressive overload. • A rest timer that keeps up — silent while you lift, then an alert right on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island the second rest is over. • Your units, your call — train in kilograms or pounds and switch anytime. SHARE WHAT YOU LIFTED Turn any session, new PR, or your yearly recap into a share card — with your total volume in tonnes or tons — and post it straight from the share sheet. WORKOUT OF THE DAY Plan your workouts with the drag-and-drop builder, schedule them by weekday or in a rotation, and today's workout is waiting at the top when you walk into the gym. IMPORT A PROGRAM IN SECONDS Already have a routine in a spreadsheet, a PDF, or your notes? Paste or upload it and Lifter Log's AI reads it for you — pulling out exercises, sets, reps, and past history — and turns it into a ready-to-log plan. No tedious manual entry. BUILT FOR REAL TRAINING Whether you're running a structured weight lifting program or training on your own, Lifter Log keeps your focus on the lift, not the logging. Track your PRs, build muscle, and keep your full exercise history tied to your account — in your language, with 21 supported. EASY TO START Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Begin with a free trial, then continue with a subscription. Train smarter. Track everything. Lift more.
