Logging My Lifts

Posts: 65 Member
edited January 31 in Fitness and Exercise
Whether your extreme lifters or light lifters it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just looking for a place to log my lifts and interact with others who are passionate about lifting. What started out as a chore for me has now become an addiction! I think I’ve been able to get it into balance with everything else that needs to be accomplished but the passion to be in the gym is always present.

    Recap of the first full week in 2021.

    I haven't gotten my first full week rep recap yet... Some time today, I'm guessing. The bodyspace app kind of sucks in a lot of ways, but the weight moved and the two recaps are nice.

    Exactly, I love the recap feature. Looks like you had a nice workout there!

    Warmed up with 4 - 2 minute rounds on the heavy bag and then it was Chest and Tri’s.

    Huh... a few years back I used to track every rep for totals of weight, I think it was through exercise.com or some such. These days I still have my log, but I haven't bothered computing totals in a while. My inner numbers geek is wanting to do this...

    *does some quick math*

    Today's leg day, including warmup reps, I logged 40,510 lbs lifted. Nothing compared to my monster leg workouts from a decade ago (a single leg day could easily pass the 100k mark), but a lot better than I had thought.

    What is this app? I use a notebook to recorded lifting days. But this looks infinitely more interesting.

    This was tracked in the bodyspace app through bodybuilding.com.
    I’ve used a number of other apps but the unique feature here is the weekly recap and the comments on the recap. Let me know if you give it a try. I use the free version as I’m too cheap to pay up for most things.

    Thanks! I downloaded the app. I try it out today for my workout.

    Warning... It can be insanely frustrating to use. It is sometimes easier if you use the browser based version to pre-build your workout routine, rather than build it as you go.

    Interesting. I haven’t had any issue logging workouts at this point. I log the exercises as I go and it’s working well so far. My issues are with trying to use the other features in the app. Like posting and replying to others posts.

    I wonder if it's the platform? I use the Samsung app and searching for exercises is often frustrating. I can type the search word and get no results, but if I select equipment first, then it searches properly.

    And I also have issues with going back and correcting a weight mid flight.. It starts completing future sets.

    I've figured out how to work around the hiccups, but in the beginning I was a grumpy Gal. Haha

    But...i like the volume moved and rep recaps, so it's worth it.

    My exercise last night was boxing with accessory lifts, so nothing really fabulous to report in terms of stats. One heluva workout tho!

    Great workout!

    Ok, the searching part does require patience and it would be nice to add ones that aren’t listed. Thank you for the complement on the workout as well.

    I used it yesterday and it was a little awkward but I got it. I like it showing me different exercise ideas w/ videos to change it up. I struggled with, and ultimately gave up, on a superset build and just logged them separately. I'm not sold on it yet. I'll give it a few more tries.

    Well done Amazon76!
    I see some of your posts on bodyspace but for some reason I can no longer comment on people’s posts so I basically use it to enter my workouts and get the weekly feedback. You definitely put in some very good workouts!

    What's your handle on there (same as here)? I have noticed a few that show as commenting, but don't show up in the app version.

    That's weird, even if I search for you I can't find you.
    Do you have a secondary name? When you look at the app, sometimes it shows two names. Are both the same? I tried changing my username at one point and now I have two different names attached to the one profile because they don't let you change the original name.

    No secondary name but I’m using the app on a different phone with a different email. I wasn’t able to change the email address either. If I want to post my workout I have to go online but even online I can’t reply to others so I kind of settled in my mind it’s just a workout tracker for me.

    Kinda sucks. But it is still a cool tool to use!
