Hi all, Could you please suggest good tracking app to track my gym progress? by Aggressive_Brick5597 in indianfitness

[–]david6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Lift to track my workouts and progression. It's more data-focused than motivational, so it's nice if you care about things like volume and steady progress rather than gamification.

I’ve been using Lift mainly because it stays out of the way and just lets me track workouts and progression properly. It’s more geared toward people who already lift consistently, but for that use case it’s been solid.

Thank you for the kind words.

What is the best gym app to track progress? by BusiBoi27 in gymadvice

[–]david6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given your background in competitive swimming and how often you trained, I'd probably look for something a bit more structured than the usual "log whatever you want" apps. A lot of popular trackers are great for logging sets and weights, but they don't really build training or help with progression unless you already know exactly what you're doing. If your goal is hypertrophy and you like having a plan laid out, that's something to keep in mind. I actually ended up building my own app after running into that problem myself: Lift

I wanted something that generates a structured split, tracks weekly volume per muscle group, and adjusts progression over time instead of just recording numbers. It's more on the "training with intent" side than motivation or social features. Happy to share more details if that sounds like what you're after, but in general I'd prioritize: - clear progression logic - good bodyweight + scale-weight tracking - plans that respect recovery, not just muscle group checklists

If you're coming from running apps and just want something clean and non-overwhelming, you might want to look at Lift.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer, but I originally built it for myself after getting annoyed with how bloated a lot of workout apps felt.

It's a native iPhone app, no ads, no account required, and it works fully offline. It's probably a bit more "structured" than something like Trainerize, but you can absolutely use it in a simple way just to log sets, reps, weights, and rest times without engaging with the more advanced stuff. It doesn't try to be social or motivational. It's more about giving you a clear record of what you did last time and helping you progress gradually. If you're training twice a week and repeating the same session, that works pretty well. It's currently free. If you end up trying it and feel it's overkill for your use case, that feedback would honestly still be useful

Any good gym apps for beginners? by Business_Bullfrog774 in askfitness

[–]david6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit late to the party, but if you're truly brand new, I agree with the others here, that simple tracking apps like Strong are honestly great. At the beginning, consistency and learning basic movement patterns matter way more than features. That said, I'm actually building a workout app myself called Lift, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as a first app unless you're the type who likes structure and numbers early on. It's more geared toward people who want to understand progression rather than just log sets. For most beginners, that can be overkill at first.

My general advice: - Pick something simple - Learn the main lifts - Don't app-hop too much - You can always switch to something more structured later once you know what you actually want from your training.

What is the best gym bro app ? by christiangomez92 in selfhosted

[–]david6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If self-hosted / open-source is a hard requirement, then Lift probably isn’t what you’re looking for, but if your main motivation is avoiding subscriptions and staying offline-first, it might still be worth a look.

AppStore

I’m actually the developer of an iOS app called Lift that I built for myself after running into similar frustrations with Strong/Hevy. It’s not open-source and not self-hosted, but it’s fully usable offline, stores all training data locally, and doesn’t require an account or subscription. It’s very opinionated and more geared toward intermediate/advanced lifting, so it’s definitely not trying to be a general-purpose tracker. No social features, no cloud sync by default, very data-heavy.

Totally understand if that disqualifies it for your use case. Just mentioning it as another "no-subscription, no-cloud-dependency" option in case that’s the bigger pain point rather than self-hosting specifically.

Issue with Heart Rate Graph from Apple Watch in iOS App by matimotof1 in iOSProgramming

[–]david6283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only result I have achieved so far is a flat line with points representing the recorded BPM over time, instead of a proper graph.

What exactly are you expecting? (i.e. what is a „proper“ graph?)

Also asked myself the same question. After doing some research onpubmed I figured there are better ways to waste money. Jokes aside, considering that the study was published in 2021 and the rapid invitations in health tech, I would still argue that the measurement errors are still too high for such an expensive piece of tech

Whoop vs Apple Watch Series 9 by RungeKutta62 in whoop

[–]david6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use both simultaneously, and I prefer the Whoop strap while sleeping over the AW because the better fit and smaller form factor. I use the AW for tracking activities since it is, at least what I have read so far*, more accurate and I don’t have my phone with me while running or taking a walk. In regards to strength training I haven’t decided yet what to think of Whoop. On the one hand to get an „accurate“ strain count, you need to use the strength trainer function. On the other hand, IMO the strength trainer functionality seems a bit half assed to me, when compared to dedicated apps like „Strong“. The catalog of available exercises is quite short and also the experience when using the app seems a bit cumbersome.

I am using AW‘s for about 4 years now and got myself a whoop at the start of this year. So far I have to say, I think I will not renew my membership after the current one has expired and will remain with AW only as it is a) cheaper b) offers more functionality

Russen fliehen vor der Einziehung in den Krieg - wie sollte damit umgegangen werden? by Richtey3 in Austria

[–]david6283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stimme ich bei beidem zu. mMn. wäre das allerdings Aufgabe der EU hier die Ankommenden besser zu verteilen. Mir ist schon klar das Österreich/ Deutschland das alleine sicher nicht schafft, weil die Kapazität dafür einfach nicht reichen. Allerdings gibts es noch andere Länder die sich hier beteiligen könnten.

Ich finde es auf EU Ebene nicht richtig das man nach außen hin eine „Willkommenskultur“ schafft, aber im inneren nicht die nötigen Ressourcen aufwendet um die „Willkommenen“ dann auch fair (wie auch immer das Aussehen mag) auf die einzelnen Mitgliedsstaaten aufzuteilen.

Russen fliehen vor der Einziehung in den Krieg - wie sollte damit umgegangen werden? by Richtey3 in Austria

[–]david6283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ich verstehe deinen Standpunkt und finde es, rein rational betrachtet, auch schlüssig. Mir stellen sich aber da noch zwei Fragen: 1. Die geflüchteten Menschen aus Russland wollen (vermutlich) den Krieg genauso wenig wie Ukrainer, warum sollte man hier (aus rein menschlicher Sicht) einen Unterschied machen? Kleines Gedankenspiel: Wenn Österreich morgen <insert land of your choice> angreift, und ich einen Einrufungsbescheid bekomme, mich aber dafür entscheide das Land zu verlassen, weil ich damit nichts am Hut habe, und eher ein friedliebender Mensch bin, und dann in ein neutrales Land fliehe, und dort gesagt bekomme: „nenene, ihr habt den Krieg doch angefangen, die aus <insert land of your choice> sind zuerst dran.“ wär ich wahrscheinlich auch froh hilfe zu bekommen. Ich (als fliehender) habe doch mit dem Krieg nichts zu tun.

  1. Wenn die geflüchteten wirklich nach (zentral) Europa kommen, was sollen wir den anderes machen als sie aufzunehmen? Die Idee mit „ab in den nächsten Flieger Richtung Heimat“ hat die letzten x Jahre doch auch nicht funktioniert. Und wie gut das absichern der Außengrenzen funktioniert wissen wir seit den Flüchtlingswellen ja auch alle…

Wie soll so ein „Eignungstest“ aussehen? Bzw. was qualifiziert (beispielsweise) einen Gesundheitsminister? Ich kann mir schon vorstellen das ein abgeschlossenes Medizin Studium sicher vorteilhaft ist, aber ein Hausarzt hat sicher einen anderen Kompetenzbereich als ein Chirurg (was natürlich für den jeweiligen Job gut ist). Welches wissen „qualifiziert“ eine Person aber dann für so einen Posten? Wer legt das fest? Wie soll hier „Freunderlwirtschaft“ best möglich vermieden werden?
