Same idea, a lot less clicking around.
PrimedLifter can do a lot, meet prep, DOTS tracking, coach-written programs, but its editor means a lot of screens and manual re-entry to get there. Pushit's formula engine sets the rule once and it just runs, on a real phone app.

Why lifters switch
A rule, not a re-typed cell
PrimedLifter's weeks are typed in by hand, one percentage at a time. Pushit's formula engine evaluates the rule automatically, so a training max change or a logged RPE updates every future prescription on its own.
No roster ceiling
PrimedLifter caps a free coach at 2 athletes. Pushit's roster is free and unlimited, no per-athlete pricing to plan around.
Video that's actually attached
PrimedLifter's video field is a link you paste in. In Pushit, the clip is attached to the exact set, right inside the app, no separate hosting or link-sharing.
Let the formula do the math.
Write the rule once. 100% free, unlimited roster, real iPhone app.
Pushit vs PrimedLifter, the questions people ask
Both are built for serious lifters and their coaches. The core difference is how a program actually runs: PrimedLifter is a coach-filled spreadsheet-style grid, you type each week's percentage or RPE target by hand. Pushit's formula engine evaluates the rule automatically before every workout, so the prescribed weight updates itself as training maxes and logged performance change.
Athletes are free on both. The difference is on the coaching side: PrimedLifter caps a coach's roster at 2 athletes for free, then charges per additional athlete. Pushit's roster is free and unlimited.
No, PrimedLifter is web-only today. Pushit has a native iPhone app live now, with Android in development.
Not really. PrimedLifter's program editor has a plain text field for a video link, there's no in-app recording, trimming, or per-set attachment. In Pushit, athletes attach a form-check clip directly to the set they logged, and it's immediately in the coach's review queue.
No, not yet. PrimedLifter's Meet Day attempt sheet and DOTS/GLP calculator (with OpenPowerlifting meet-history import) are genuinely useful for competitive powerlifters and are real advantages it has over Pushit today.
No. PrimedLifter lets you browse and copy other users' shared programs. Pushit doesn't have a program marketplace, it's built around a coach (or you) writing the program from scratch with real progression logic instead.
Not automatically, there's no import tool today. You'd rebuild your programs in Pushit's formula engine and re-invite your athletes with a one-time pairing code, which takes under a minute per athlete.
