My Lift: Measure your strength for Android

10 things about My Lift: Measure your strength

1. What is your maximal strength? Which weight should you use in your next training session to optimize results? My Lift is the first scientifically designed app to measure your 1-Repetition Maximum (1-RM) in the most accurate way possible.

2. To do this, My Lift uses the high-speed video recording available on most iPhone and iPad devices to measure the velocity at which you are performing the exercise, which is highly correlated with your maximal strength capabilities.

3. My Lift is very intuitive and easy to use: you just need to record one repetition of the desired exercise with 1 to 4 different submaximal loads and select its start and beginning in the app with its accurate frame-by-frame navigation.

4. To solve this problem, My Lift uses scientifically validated algorithms that can estimate your 1-RM with high precision by simply recording your exercise.

5. Knowing your 1-RM in every single training session is essential to adjust your training intensity and get the best adaptations.

6. However, performing an actual 1-RM test could be dangerous and fatiguing and, if performed every day, it will most likely lead to overtraining or injuries.

7. -Works with some of the most widely-used upper and lower body exercises by default: bench-press, deadlift, pull-up, military press, back squat & hip thrust.

8. Well, you just need to pick a load and record one repetition with My Lift.

9. -Progress analysis: save as many tests as you want and see your progress through time to check if you have improved or worsened your performance.

10. Let's say you got a workout which includes 4x5 repetitions at your 80%1-RM.
