So I was Fed up of carrying a notebook to the gym or sending myself WhatsApp messages to remember weights and reps — sweaty pages, dead pens, flicking back to find last week's numbers. So I described what I wanted to do and it built me a gym tracker from scratch as a web app I can open on my phone.
It's a 4-day per week split based on Yates blood and guts high intensity low volume — you tap in your warm-up and work sets per exercise, and it remembers them for next time so there's no more flicking back. It flags a PR automatically when you beat a previous best, and shows a tiny trend line per exercise so you can see if you're actually progressing. There's a rest timer built in too.
Past that it's turned into a bit of an everything-app: nutrition macros, a strength/conditioning PR tracker, body measurement check-ins with charts, and daily checklists for muay thai and grip strength training I'm doing alongside lifting. All stored on my phone, nothing synced anywhere.
How does everyone else track their training — still paper, an app, or just memory?
