Why it matters

If the tracker is slow, you stop tracking.
History
✓Keep PRs, notes, routines, and past sessions visible.
Progress is hard to manage when the evidence is buried.
Routines
✓Start with proven days or build your own split.
Walking in with a plan beats improvising under bad lighting.
Exercise lookup
✓800+ exercises searchable by muscle.
Find the lift, know what it trains, and get back to work.
No subscription treadmill
✓Free download. No account required.
Training already costs enough. The log should not be the expensive part.
