Description
Liftosaur - the ultimate weightlifting tracker app for coders. Build your weightlifting programs using a simple scripting language - Liftoscript, or simply use one of pre-built popular programs. There're 5/3/1, all the GZCL programs (GZCLP, The Rippler, VHF, VDIP, General Gainz), various programs from Reddit (like Basic Beginner Routine), and many more!
In weightlifting, one of the most important concepts is progressive overload. It means that in order to get stronger and better looking, you constantly need to challenge yourself with more weights or more reps, so that your body adapts and muscle mass increases. When you are beginner, you can just linearly increase weights almost every workout. Eventually you hit plateau, and then you break that plateau by involving more complex overloads and deloads schemes, increasing/decreasing weights and reps by following some pattern.
Liftosaur is an app, that focuses on providing you the tools for progressive overload. It's a weightlifting tracker app, which will increase and decrease weights and reps (and sometimes change sets) according to your performance. It follows some pattern, with the ability to change that pattern in any way you want. You can even define the logic of reps/weights changes using super simple scripting language "Liftoscript".
It has a bunch of popular built-in programs that helped thousands of lifters to get stronger - "Basic Beginner Routine" from r/fitness subreddit, 5/3/1 programs, GZCL programs, etc. All those programs are defined right in the app, and completely customizable. You can change every single aspect of them, adjusting to your needs.
The app also has all the features you'd expect in a weight-lifting tracker app:
• You can log all your workouts, and have access to the history or workouts.
• Rest timers between sets
• Plates calculator (e.g. what plates you need to add to each side of the bar to get like 155lb)
• Ability to track bodyweight and other body measurements (biceps, calfs, etc)
• What muscles the workouts and programs activate
• Graphs of exercises, bodyweight and other measurements
• Choose available equipment (like what plates you have), so that it'd round up weights to match it.
• Substitute exercises to the ones working on similar muscles in case you don't need necessary equipment.
• Cloud backup of all your data, with ability to sign in via Google or Apple Sign In
• Share workouts on Facebook or Twitter
• Web Editor (liftosaur.com/program) to edit the programs on a laptop
Weightlifting is the long game, and if you're serious about lifting, building strength and sculpting your body, Liftosaur would be a great partner in your journey.
