BRACE

Read full description

Built for powerlifters and anyone looking to improve their big 3. Analyze 1–10RM PRs, RPE-based e1RM, FATIGUE, INTENSITY, and DOTS. FEATURES THE BASICS BRACE includes the core features you need to log your training. POWERLIFTING FEATURES Beyond the basics, BRACE focuses on logging and analysis designed to help you improve your big 3. LOGGING • Exercise classification — Main / Variation / Accessory / Warm-up • Training purpose — Heavy / Volume / Speed / Light • Customizable Variations and Accessories • Body weight and condition tracking • RPE tracking • FATIGUE — See the drop in e1RM for each exercise as you train HISTORY • Filters — Filter by exercise and whether RPE or notes are included ANALYSIS • PR — 1–10RM PRs • e1RM — RPE-based e1RM, also shown relative to body weight • RPE — RPE over time at the same weight and reps • FATIGUE — e1RM drop, average, and trend by exercise • VOLUME — Tonnage, sets, and training days • INTENSITY — Intensity distribution and average relative intensity • TOTAL — Actual 1RM total and e1RM total • DOTS — DOTS score based on your e1RM total • BODY WEIGHT — Body weight over time OTHER FEATURES • Widget • File backup & restore • CSV export FEATURES NOT INCLUDED • Tracking and analysis by muscle group • Programs and routines • Rest timer Rather than organizing training by muscle groups such as legs, chest, back, shoulders, and arms, BRACE is built around the squat, bench press, and deadlift. I considered adding programs, routines, and a rest timer, but left them out for now to keep the screens and workflow from becoming overly complicated. If there's a feature you'd like to see added, let me know. I read every request. NO ADS. NO NOTIFICATIONS. NO ACCOUNT. No account or email address required. Your training data is stored on your device, and there's no cloud sync. FREE + ONE-TIME PURCHASE You can keep logging your training for free, with no time limit. You can also view your entire training history at any time. PRs are available across your full training history for free. Other analytics are free for the most recent month. Longer-term analytics and CSV export are available with a one-time purchase. No subscription. FROM THE DEVELOPER While working on my own big 3, I've tried many different metrics, training approaches, programs, and routines. There are plenty of workout logging apps, but I had a hard time finding one focused specifically on the big 3. So I built BRACE. If you're a powerlifter or serious about your big 3, I'd especially love for you to give it a try. If anything feels off or could work better, I'd like to hear about it. Your feedback will help shape future improvements. I hope BRACE helps you keep pushing your numbers higher.
