Liftosaur – Weightlifting tracker app for coders
I made a weightlifting tracker app specifically for coders. In weightlifting, progressive overload is one of the most important parts of gaining muscle. You should constantly increase weights, reps, use different set schemes, and that will make your muscles grow. There're many weightlifting programs, using various overloading schemes - linear increasing of weights, some periodic ladder-up increase, switching to different set schemes in case of failures, etc. You can implement all of that in Liftosaur. It works this way: each exercise may define a bunch of variables, that could be changed…

In plain words
Liftosaur is a weightlifting tracker app designed for programmers who want to implement personalized progressive overload strategies. Users can define custom variables for each exercise—such as weight, rep maxima, or attempt counts—and write scripts to automatically adjust these variables based on workout performance. This allows implementation of various training schemes, from linear weight progression to periodic ladder-ups and failure-based adjustments, all tailored to individual needs and tracked within the app.
