Film the set on your phone. Lifting Lab traces the bar, grades the lift and names the one thing to fix. No sensor, no pairing.
If it can't see the lift clearly, it says so. No made-up numbers.

Taper week is arithmetic. Lifting Lab does it from your own lifts, not a table.

0meet day
The warm-up room runs on attempts, not the clock.
Set your openers. Count the attempts before yours. A card tells you when to take the next warm-up. Nobody explains the warm-up room. This does. Meet Day is Pro.
It already knows how you train.
Before it builds today's session, Lifting Lab reads your last month: how often you trained, how long sessions ran, where your misses clustered. Then it scales volume, intensity and rest to match. It never rewrites your program, and it shows its work.
- Effort
- You trained 5 of the last 12 scheduled days.
- Pacing
- Your last 8 sessions ran about 100 minutes against a 73 minute estimate.
- Fatigue
- 9 of your last 9 misses came in the last third of a session.
A rough month never spirals: a floor stops it from easing a session below 70% of normal. Free, from the first session.
Every session counts.
Your PRs, your Log Book and your notes in one place. Levels, streaks and badges come from your real training, so your history counts from day one. Nothing to fill in.

Before you download.
No. There is no account and no signup. Setup asks a few questions you can skip, and one tap to confirm you are 16 or older, or that a guardian agrees.
Yes, and generously. The daily dashboard, guided workouts, Build My Workout, the Beginner Foundation program, the PR tracker, the illustrated exercise library, every calculator, sharing, and three bar-path analyses a month never expire, never lock, and need no account. Pro is a separate add-on for unlimited analysis and the rest of the programs.
No. Tell Lifting Lab how you feel, what's sore, and how much time you have, and it builds the session, or run one of the five periodized programs if you want a full cycle. Either way, nothing is locked: reorder, swap, or adjust anything before or during the workout.
No. Bar Trace reads speed, path and phase timing from a phone video. No sensor, no clip-on unit, no pairing.
It depends on the clip: side-on, whole bar in frame, steady phone. When tracking is weak, Lifting Lab says so and shows the evidence, rather than giving you a number it can't back up.
Video analysis runs entirely on-device. No clip or lift data is sent anywhere to score it. On iPhone, training data syncs to your own private iCloud so it follows you across devices (clip sync is a separate opt-in), never to a third-party server. On Android there is no sync: your sessions, records and clips stay on the phone. Either way, no Lifting Lab account is required.
Both. Pick kg or lb in Settings and every screen follows your choice, plus there's a dedicated kg to lb converter in Tools. Everything is stored in kg internally, matching IWF competition and the way the sport is actually coached, and converted for display.
Yes. Lifting Lab is on the App Store for iPhone and on Google Play for Android. Neither needs an account, and the free tier is the same on both. Pro is billed through the store you installed from: Apple on iPhone, Google Play on Android.
No. Every field is optional, nothing is scored, and skipping it costs you nothing. Lifting Lab suggests a reflection every few weeks and that suggestion is dismissible.
