Liftosaur: Scriptable Workouts

This may be the only lifting app on the market that allows you to create any program you want and for that reason I have to rate it a step above the rest. The developer is also extremely active in fixing and improving the app and is easy to contact in his discord server. The only thing missing from this app that other lifting apps have is Apple Watch support which for some is no big deal, but personally I hate being on my phone in the gym and being able to mark off sets on the watch would make this app perfect. Still give it a 5 stars because there is no lifting app better.

Very cool app, super flexible, it I’m running into issues with saving changes I’ve made to my current workout. I changed my warm-ups from percentages to hardcoded weights and save them but the next day the warm-ups were back to percentage. Also, why does it throw an error when I want to have a different warm-up for squats on week two versus week one. Since my second week is heavier, I was wanting to program in an additional warm-up set. Otherwise, I’ve loved the app and the programming ability so far. Keep it going. Update: this was my user error! I wasn’t clicking “apply” prior to saving. Updated my review to 5 stars. Love the continued app support and improvements.

I needed to implement a lifting program that gave me the the flexibility to focus on what is important to me and work within my constraints. I only wanted to squat, deadlift, bench, and overhead press as to keep workouts at maximum of an hour. I didn’t want a 16+ AMRAP set and preferred to do doubles and triples that I could put some intensity behind. This app allowed me to implement such a program. Now I’m in the gym regularly, have fun moving some relatively heavy weight, am done in an hour, and feel fresh the next day. If my goals change or I need to make adjustments I know this app will allow me do that. This app is perfect for those that want or need more control over their workout programs. I think that without this app weightlifting would be something I “used to do.” I honestly feel that it’s allowed me to keep lifting and that is a wonderful thing.
