E1RM Powerlifting app from lifter to lifters

E1RM Powerlifting app from lifter to lifters

Most fitness apps on the market today are simply too cluttered. They come with too much visual noise, tedious data entry, and features you never actually use when you're under the barbell. Because I wanted something faster and more efficient, I decided to build my own personal powerlifting and progress tracking app.

This isn’t just another digital notebook; it’s a tool designed to do the heavy lifting when it comes to math in the gym. The core of the app revolves around features customized for the realities of hard training:

  • Dynamic E1RM (Estimated 1 Rep Max): The app calculates my theoretical max in real-time based on the day's working sets. This keeps my training intensity objective and provides immediate feedback on my current strength levels.
  • Instant Drop-Set Calculator: No more wasting time opening the phone’s default calculator between heavy sets to figure out percentages. I just punch in the top set, and the app spits out the exact numbers for my drop-sets in a split second.
  • Visual Progress History: You can't manage what you don't track. I integrated a custom table and multi-line graph to plot my E1RM progress across the Squat, Bench, and Deadlift over a 6-week block. One glance at the chart shows exactly if the current programming is working or if it needs adjusting.

Why Is It Better Than Commercial Apps?

The biggest advantage of this app is absolute flexibility. I can fully customize and configure it based on the specific block I'm running, adjusting the targets for reps and weight on the fly. No forced templates, no restrictions—the app adapts to me, not the other way around.

The result is a tool that does exactly what it needs to do: keeps my data organized, saves valuable time between sets, and shows in black and white that the numbers are moving up.
