Questions

FAQ

What is the best Heavyset alternative for iPhone?

If you like Heavyset's minimal logging but not the recurring subscription, LiftLog keeps that focus and adds ready-made programs. Its 40 programs are based on well-known routines such as StrongLifts 5×5, Starting Strength, Push/Pull/Legs, Upper / Lower, and 5/3/1, and they can suggest the weight for your next set. It tracks estimated 1RM with the Adaptive, Brzycki, or Epley formula, plus Personal Bests and Rep PRs for every exercise. It is free for 7 days with no card, then a one-time purchase from $9.99 to $39.99, with no account.

Is LiftLog a one-time purchase?

Yes. LiftLog is free for 7 days with no card required. After that you buy it once at the tier you choose: $9.99 (Fair), $19.99 (Good), $29.99 (Generous), or $39.99 (Patron). Every tier unlocks the same app, nothing renews, and Family Sharing is on.

Does LiftLog support progression and deloads?

Yes, through progression schemes on program exercises: Double progression, Linear, % of training max, or RPE / RIR. LiftLog fills each pending set with the weight the scheme prescribes. After the workout, a Progression review marks each exercise as Progressed, Hold, Missed, or Deload. RPE is added by editing a set after the workout, so the RPE scheme only works when you enter it.
