Powerlifting · Squat, bench, deadlift
Follow squat, bench press, and deadlift with full set context
LiftPal gives the three powerlifting lifts a complete set log. Load, repetitions, RPE, rest, personal records, and estimated-1RM trends remain comparable across individual sessions and multi-week blocks.

What you can record with LiftPal
- Squat, bench press, and deadlift in custom routines
- Sets, repetitions, load, and RPE for every working set
- Premium volume and estimated-1RM context across weeks
- Editable 4, 5, 6, or 8 week powerlifting blocks
Each competition lift keeps its own history
Squat, bench press, and deadlift rarely progress at the same pace. LiftPal stores each lift and named variation with load, repetitions, and RPE, keeping a bench-volume day readable beside a heavy deadlift day.
Custom routines mirror your real week, while spontaneous workouts cover equipment or schedule changes.
Read top sets and back-off work in one session
A heavy top set and its back-off work play different roles. The set log places load, repetitions, and RPE side by side, while notes can capture the variation or a technical observation.
Rest controls and previous values stay close to the next working set.
Put PRs and estimated 1RM into a longer trend
Personal records mark concrete performances. Premium adds estimated-1RM and volume trends that broaden the review beyond the single heaviest value.
Estimated 1RM is a training estimate based on your entries. It complements the log and remains distinct from a lift you actually performed or an individual meet plan.
Edit a powerlifting block before adopting it
Premium can use goal, experience, training days, equipment, lift preferences, and history to create a rules-based 4–8 week draft. Exercises, days, and prescriptions remain editable before adoption.
The builder supports planning and review. Meet-day attempts, technique, pain, and the full recovery picture stay outside an automatic log.
Quick answers
Powerlifting tracker FAQ
Can I follow squat, bench press, and deadlift separately?
Yes. Each lift and named variation keeps its own history of sets, repetitions, load, and RPE.
Can I log top sets and back-off sets?
Yes. Log heavy and lighter working sets individually and distinguish them through load, repetitions, RPE, and notes.
Is estimated 1RM the same as a tested 1RM?
No. It is an estimate from logged data and remains distinct from a lift you actually perform under specific conditions.
Does LiftPal select meet attempts?
LiftPal structures training and trends; it is not an automatic meet-day attempt-selection service.
