What you can record with LiftPal
- Custom splits and spontaneous bodybuilding workouts
- Sets, repetitions, load, and RPE
- Exercise history and PRs; Premium adds volume context
- Editable hypertrophy blocks with equipment and focus settings
Turn your split into a reusable routine
Push/pull/legs, upper/lower, or a custom body-part split can become an editable routine. Exercises and order stay under your control, so the app follows the plan you actually use.
Start a spontaneous session or swap an exercise when one workout needs to differ from the template.
Compare load, repetitions, and RPE together
Adding weight is one form of progression. More repetitions at similar RPE or steadier working sets can also become visible in the history.
Named exercise variations keep comparisons clean. Technique quality and range of motion remain observations for you or a qualified coach.
Review training volume across multiple weeks
Premium set and volume views gather what you actually recorded in the block. That helps review exercise selection and weekly structure when several sessions touch the same muscle group.
Volume is planning and history context. It does not measure an individual muscle response or define a universal optimal set count.
Draft a hypertrophy block around your equipment
Premium can use goal, experience, training days, equipment, body focus, and exercise preferences in a rules-based 4–8 week draft. Days, exercises, and prescriptions remain editable before adoption.
The result is a reviewable starting point. Training, recovery, and individual circumstances still shape the outcome.
