Best logging app?

Hi guys. I went from SSLP to HLM to some bullshit bro-ish program from Mind Pump Media. Been listening to you guys for the past year and I’m ready to jump on the BBM programming bandwagon. About to start with the Bridge 1.0 and then move into the 7-week hypertrophy template. Do you recommend a good logging app? I used the SS app for LP and HLM and it was alright. Also, thank you for putting out such killer content. You guys rock!

I don’t have a solid app recommendation, as everything we’ve looked into has serious limitations. I use Excel for now, though our app developer is on it.

Awesome! Any idea on an estimated date for beta? I’m happy to throw in some dev work if your guys need any help.

I’ve used them all and nothing is better than FitNotes on Android.

It’s free, there’s no ads, you can track you body measurements and you can export the data as a csv file if you want to do further analysis of your training log in Excel, R, Mathematica, or whatever else you want.

Personally use google sheets - also makes analyzing data easier over long periods of time (1 year+) and syncs via cloud (since it is cloud based). If you are concerned with privacy, just think of it as flexing on Google about your gains.

I used Strong on iOS. It even has RPE!

RTS’ web app is pretty good. I can imagine how it would be a pain on a phone but on a 7" tablet it’s usable.

The logging in the newer BBM templates works well too.

I use HeavySet on iOS. I loved FitNotes on Android, but had to find a new alternative after switching phones. HeavySet supports RPE, percentages, set timers, tempo timers, and all kinds of goodies. Plus the UI is very friendly and intuitive for building up the workouts.

To securely store, search, analyze, and alert on all of the log data and events, I use cloud logging. The primary need is to collect a combination of the service logs and the identity logs provided by the cloud, in addition to log files from the servers, containers and applications you run. This means you will need to leverage all sources and possibly even use a data warehouse or logging tool to supplement event storage. Many providers have been using the cloud computing services. It is likely that you will either need to move a portion of the log data back on premises to monitor, alert and generate reports or create that infrastructure in the cloud.

Intensity Fitness App is great, you can key in the program once, then you add it to your diary. it supports RPE and percentage. it has charts/graphs for analysis.
