Weightlifting apps that sync with MyfitnessPal?

Does anyone know of a weightlifting app that shows how-to videos and also syncs with MyfitnessPal?

I don't know of any that sync with My fitness pal, but Jefit does show how to videos, has sample routines, and allow you to build your own routine. It will figure out your one rep max on the main lifts, and will allow you to set a rest timer that will tell you when your rest time is up. It will also break down the time you spent lifting into total workout, rest time, wasted time and actual workout time that you could use to put into MFP to help better track the calories, but it doesn't sync with MFP.

Endomondo does have a weight lifting section that will track your caloric burn, it syncs with my smart watch and my blue tooth heart rate chest strap, but it seems like the caloric burn is always higher than it should be for weight lifting, so I don't know how accurate it is.

Thanks Dave. I appreciate the feedback. It seems to be the one component of MyfitnessPal that's missing. I will check out the ones you suggested. Thanks again.

I do wish they would sync together, or have a better strength training section for My fitness Pal for tracking weights lifted. I do like Jefit, though and the way it works. There are others out there that I haven't tried that I've heard are also really good. I like Jefit, so I have stuck with it. Same with My fitness Pal.
