About Lifting Lab, Weightlifting
Lifting Lab is a training app built for one sport: the snatch and the clean & jerk. Tell it how you feel and it builds today's session, or follow one of five periodized programs. Either way, film your lifts and break them into phases, find out why you missed, and walk into competition day ready. No sensors, no subscription required to log your training. IT BUILDS TODAY'S SESSION Tell it your energy, soreness, equipment, and time, and Lifting Lab resolves it into a full session you can reorder or edit, even mid-workout. No rigid plan to override when life doesn't cooperate. IT PROGRAMS THE CYCLE Real periodization: five block-periodized programs, percent-of-PR loading, autoregulation, readiness tracking, and missed-session handling that adapts the week instead of just marking it skipped. IT SEES Film a lift and get phase-level analysis: first pull, transition, second pull, turnover, catch. A path score, a miss diagnosis, and a corrective drill, not just a line drawn over your video. IT KNOWS THE SPORT Sinclair, Robi, IWF weight classes, world records, plate math, a warm-up generator, meet-day attempt planning, and an illustrated exercise library with real coaching cues. WHAT'S IN EACH TAB Train: adaptive daily session builder, five periodized programs, PR tracker with auto Total and sparklines, warm-up generator. Analyze: bar-path capture and phase breakdown, side-by-side compare, tracking-quality grading on every clip. Tools: plate loader, 1RM (4 formulas), percent tables with Prilepin, Sinclair, Robi, strength ratios, unit converter. Me: profile, gym and bar/plate inventory, levels and streaks, HealthKit and iCloud sync. FREE, EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO TRAIN Unlimited training log and history, forever. The adaptive daily workout builder. A full beginner program. Recent-lift miss diagnosis. PR tracking. Every calculator. Three bar-path analyses a month. HealthKit and iCloud sync. PRO, THE COACHING Unlimited bar-path analyses and side-by-side compare. The full technique history. Four more periodized cycles: Strength, Specification, Competition Peak, and Masters. Meet Day planning and attempt board. Multi-week program authoring. Hardware VBT import. How accurate is the video analysis? Lifting Lab measures the bar against a plate as a scale reference, and grades the tracking quality of every clip so you know when to trust it. Use it for path shape, phase timing, and comparing lifts against each other. Terms of Use: https://liftinglab.app/terms/ · Privacy Policy: https://liftinglab.app/privacy/
What’s new
Version 1.1 · Updated October 13, 2026
Train where you actually train, and with dumbbells when the barbell isn't there. NEW - Pick your gym for each workout. A "Training at" row at the foot of the check-in, the workout builder and the live session sets which bar, plates and equipment the workout uses. Switch mid-session and the loading updates, and sets you've already logged stay as they are. - Switch a lift to dumbbells. Front squats, split squats, lunges, Romanian and stiff-leg deadlifts, strict and push press, and bent-over rows can be done with a dumbbell in each hand. Weight is per hand, with a picture of the pair that grows as the weight goes up. - Body: log an injury and the app trains around it. Check in with a pain reading, get safer swaps, and ease back in stage by stage. BETTER - The rest timer no longer resets when it shouldn't. - Pyramid sets progress the way they're written. - Weight changes carry through the rest of an exercise. - The "Back Under the Bar" bar no longer covers the buttons on program and builder screens.
