Powerlifting Log & Program Builder
How do I log a session?
Tap the Log tab. Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift are pre-loaded. Enter your weight, reps, and RPE for each exercise. Tap "Save Session" when done. You can switch between "Top + Back-off" mode and "Straight Sets" mode per exercise using the toggle at the top of each card.
How do I see what I lifted last week?
It's automatic. When you open the Log tab, each exercise card shows a blue "LAST WEEK" banner with your previous session's numbers — top set weight, reps, RPE, and back-off details.
How do I add exercises?
Tap "Add Exercise" at the bottom of the Log screen. Search through 100+ pre-loaded powerlifting exercises, or type a name to create a custom one.
How do I create a training program?
Go to the Program tab and tap the + button. Name your program, set the number of weeks and days per week. Then tap into each day to add exercises and set prescriptions (sets, reps, RPE, percentage of 1RM).
Can I import a program day into my session?
Yes. Open a program day and the exercises listed will be available to import into your Log session.
What e1RM formulas are available?
Epley, Brzycki, Lombardi, Mayhew, O'Conner, and Wathan. Change your preferred formula in Settings (More > Settings). Your choice is saved and used across all charts and PR calculations.
How are PRs tracked?
PRs are detected automatically from your logged sessions. You can also add manual PRs in the Progress tab (PRs section) for lifts from before you started using GymLog.
What warm-up methods are included?
Five preset methods: Simple (3-step), Standard (5-step), USAPL Style, RPE-Based, and Nuckols. You can also create a fully custom warm-up scheme. Each step shows the calculated weight rounded to the nearest plate and the plates needed per side.
What are the competition scores?
Wilks (classic powerlifting coefficient), DOTS (modern replacement), and IPF GL Points (used by the IPF for Best Lifter awards). Enter your bodyweight and SBD lifts to see your scores.
