r/Hevy

I don't want to share exactly how many reps etc. Just how long I was in the gym strength training and pulse data.

Is it possible to change what it shows when it shares to strava?

Looking to find people who are like minded to follow and watch each other succeed. My Handle is SwampCop.

Hi everyone, I asked a question about this here yesterday and a few of you said "just build it", so I did. Sharing in case anyone else wants the same thing. It's open-source and free. You can run it locally or deploy it to Vercel.

What it does:

• Breaks your training down into 32 sub-muscles, e.g. Shoulders → front/side/rear delt, rotator cuff; Chest →upper/mid/lower chest, serratus anterior; and so on. Every exercise in your Hevy log is distributed across these.
• Each exercise comes with default percentages for how much it hits each sub-muscle. You can change them in settings if your form or grip shifts the emphasis.
• Shows a visual body map plus an overview of volume per sub-muscle, so you can see what you've been over- and under-training.

Dearest Hevy peeps

I've been using the app for about a year and overall I'm loving it. It's smooth, easy to navigate and helps me see progress in the long run.

A small plea though.
When I selected "Replace exercise" during a workout, please just replace the exercise. Don't meddle with the sets or reps. Pretty please?
When I deviate from my routine, it's usually because the machine/rack is occupied and I have zero chill. I just want to keep everything the same, except the exercise type.

I have a memory like a sieve, so having the remember the different rep ranges after replacing an exercise and it removing warmup sets and whatnot really pulls me out of the workout.

That is all, thank you!

Hello everyone, 41M, 178cm and around 72kg. I started going to gym seriously in April. I have had some guidance from a seasoned gym goer, and then started to experiment myself, after doing some "research" on YouTube. I modified my workout around the equipment at my local gym, and also my preference. I'm currently doing PPL/UL. I feel like I found the good balance with Push, legs, and lower, but pull day now feels too long. I would like to keep it between 60-75min but it's hard. I started to do some sort of superset, but feels not an efficient way to train. If possible, I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions on how to optimize this workout. Thanks

It's weird that they still don't have this functionality.

I'm looking for alternatives, please suggest so I can go deeper into my fitness journey and track front/rear/side delts, upper/mid/lower chest workouts and so on.

How do I log two-sided exercises like the Dumbbell Row that is done separately alternating between the right and left side. I would think that to get credit for the volume I would need to log a set for each side. So 3 sets would actually be logged as 6 sets?

Thanks

Hevy has me doing these with elbows out wide and grip toward my feet.

I see other videos recommending palms facing in and keeping elbows close.

What is the difference and why is Hevy’s way better?

Welcome to the Weekly Find Friends thread.

This is the spot to find people to follow on Hevy. Turns out you show up to the gym a lot more often when a few familiar names are watching your feed. Drop yours below, then go follow a handful of other people here.

Copy this and fill it in:

Hevy username:
Life stage: (student / 20s / 30s / 40s / 50+)
What I train: (powerlifting, hypertrophy, running, Hyrox, general gains, whatever)
Goal right now:

Keep it friendly:

• Follow a couple of people back. No drive-by drops.
• Say hi or hype someone's goal, that's the entire point of the thread.
• A fresh thread goes up every week, so repost if you're still on the hunt.

Tried to post a standalone "add me" on the main feed and ended up here? That's our AutoMod doing its job. This is where the follows actually happen, so you're in the right place. 💪

If you want to give me a follow go for it 😄

Goal right now: reaching 15% bf and bouldering a 7c

Thanks team hevy for the update.

If you go to trainer > settings > program variety > you can set it to balanced. This will keep the same exercises for 6 weeks, then generate a new routine for you to keep things fresh!

New user of Hevy, and fairly new to lifting. I have been using FitBod for about 4 months now, and am running into the limitations it has as far as automatic workout generating. I've been doing a PPL routine, but been finding it difficult to get a couple workouts of each in a week and still work on my runs. I'm wanting to switch to Upper/Lower to help make time to run a couple times a week too. I've been working on an Upper/Lower plan, but want to make sure I'm doing it right. I've put together an Upper 1/Lower 1 plan that is lower rep, higher weight, then Upper 2/Lower 2 that is higher rep, lower weight.

Since this is still pretty new to me, I am only basing this on what I've read. My goal is to build muscle/strength, while making sure all muscle groups are well covered. There is probably more efficient ways to accomplish my goals, so please let me know what I can improve on.

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

New to the platform but I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way for it to increase my weights? I've created my own routines and each time I do the program it is the base. It will update if I remove an exercise or something but the weight will always stay at the base level. It doesn't even increase to my last lifted weight. It's that just how it is? I would rather not need to go update the routine every time I increase.

Hi, I’m a beginner and just wanted to clarify things before I try and setup a routine in Hevy. What’s the best way to exclude a load of exercises from my routine and to be able to save that group of exercises if I ever change my plan in the future? For example if i did a 6 week program with the Trainer option, if I went and changed the program would I have to go through all the exercises all over again to exclude them? Or does it save them as excluded for future use etc?

Thanks.

Health Connect is connected as an integration and it is allowed to write and read but it seems that it is not working, at least the writing.

When I do update my WAV on Google Health, it's also updated in hevy, but when I do finish a workout, it does not appear on Google Health. Why?

I have inadvertently done a set with 80 kg on lat raises, was doing 8kg !

Is there a way to serest PB's?

I have amended it to 8kg but when I try 10 kg ( a new PB for me) it does not recognise it.

It keeps the 80kg.

Also, is there a way to just check your PB's?

Thanks in advance.
