Advanced programming, in an app made for training.
Powerlifting blocks, RPE-based programs, percentages of a training max, top sets with backoffs. The programming a spreadsheet gives you, with a proper logger and analytics. Free, on iOS and the web.
Why serious lifters end up in spreadsheets
Most apps can't run an advanced program
Fixed sets, reps and weights are easy to find. RPE autoregulation, percentages of a training max, and backoff sets from a top set are not, especially for powerlifting. So lifters give up and build a spreadsheet.
A spreadsheet has no analytics
Google Sheets holds the numbers but won't show you estimated 1RM, tonnage, RPE or recovery trends unless you build every chart yourself. Pushit shows them from the sets you log.
A spreadsheet is a bad logger
Editing cells between sets breaks formulas and costs time. Pushit has a native logger with the weights already worked out.
Two sessions you could run today
Illustrative rules as you'd build them in Pushit.
- Percentage weekSquat: 65% × 5, 75% × 5, 85% × 5 as AMRAP, as percentages of your training max
- Top set and backoffsBench: 1 top set at RPE 9, then 3 sets at 90% of that top set
- Daily autoregulationDeadlift: 3 × 3, load drops by 2.5 kg if last session's average RPE was above 9
The screen shows the weight to put on the bar. You just log.
What you get training solo
Advanced programming, click by click
Percentage of a training max or estimated 1RM, fixed weights, RPE or RIR autoregulation, backoff sets from a top set, tempo, AMRAP and timed sets. Custom rules are there when you want them.
Per-gym numbers
Working weights and 1RMs tracked separately at each gym, so training at two gyms or travelling never mixes them up.
Analytics beyond a log
Estimated and tested 1RM, tonnage, RPE, rest and recovery trends over 4 weeks to all time.
Bodyweight and calories
Synced from Apple Health, so it works with MacroFactor, MyFitnessPal and Cronometer.
iOS and web
Plan a block on a laptop, log on your phone. Everything on web and iOS.
Add a coach any time
Pair with a coach later with a one-time code. Your history stays intact.
Train with a program that does its own maths.
Sign in and build your first block. No coach needed, and you can add one later.
Solo lifter questions
Look for an app that applies your RPE to the next load automatically, not just records it. Pushit lets you set a target RPE range and how much the load changes when a set lands above or below it, and it uses a standard RPE-to-percentage chart.
Yes. You can program percentages of a training max or estimated 1RM, AMRAP final sets, and backoff sets as a percentage of a top set.
For fast logging and 1RM history, yes. Pushit adds programming that calculates your loads, per-gym numbers, and an optional coach connection.
Look for one that supports RPE or RIR autoregulation, percentages of a training max or estimated 1RM, and backoff sets from a top set, not just fixed sets and reps. Pushit supports all of these, plus tempo, AMRAP and custom rules, on iOS and the web, for free.
A logger built for the gym, loads that are computed for you, and analytics you don't have to build: estimated and tested 1RM, tonnage, RPE, rest and recovery trends from 4 weeks to all time. You keep the programming flexibility.
No. Everything has a click-based option. A custom rule is available if you want one, but you never have to write it.
Yes. Working weights and 1RMs are tracked per gym, so a different machine or a hotel gym doesn't affect the numbers at your home gym.
