The lifting app that actually coaches you — then proves how strong you are.
Mesocycle planning, RPE autoregulation, and auto-deloads do the thinking. A bodyweight-adjusted Strength Score and one-tap PR cards do the bragging. Your logbook just became a coach with a leaderboard.
Logger vs. coach
Your logbook records what you did.It never tells you what to do next.
Hevy, Strong, a spreadsheet — they’re great at writing down the past. None of them tell you tomorrow’s weights, manage your fatigue, or say whether your training was even correct. That’s the difference between a logger and a coach.
A logger
Records the past
- Yes —Sets & reps
- No —What to do today
- No —Fatigue & deloads
- No —Was it right?
A coach
Directs the future
- Yes —Sets & reps
- Yes —What to do today
- Yes —Fatigue & deloads
- Yes —And why
The coaching engine — the part nobody else has
A real coach, in your pocket
The periodization serious lifters run in a spreadsheet — autoregulating, fatigue-aware, and explained in plain language. This is what you can’t get from a logbook.
Today, and why
Open the app and today's session is already built from your mesocycle — loads, sets, and reps, plus a one-line reason for each. Never a blank screen, never a guess.
vs. Fitbod: periodized, not a recovery guess
RPE autoregulation
Log your sets and the engine adjusts tomorrow's load and volume off how they actually felt. Like a coach texting you — not a clinical feedback form.
vs. RP: same science, no spreadsheet feel
Volume + auto-deload
Per-muscle volume tracked from MEV to MRV, with deloads scheduled automatically when fatigue accumulates — pulled back on purpose, and it tells you why.
Manages fatigue so you don't fry yourself
Explained in plain language
Every decision the coach makes comes with a one-line “why.” The smart training partner who knows the research — not the PhD who makes you feel like you need one.
The education layer
Proof, not just activity
One number that means something
Most leaderboards reward whoever’s heaviest. The Strength Score is bodyweight- and age-adjusted, so it ranks the best lifter — and every PR becomes a card you’re proud to post.
From your lifts to a single, fair number.
Every working set feeds an engine that normalizes your e1RM against strength standards for your sex, bodyweight, and age — then rolls it into one 0–1000 score.
- Bodyweight-adjusted. A 140 lb lifter and a 240 lb lifter compete fairly.
- Age-adjusted. Masters lifters aren't penalized for the calendar.
- Tiered. Beginner → World Class, with the exact kg to your next tier.
Strength Score
A single 0–1000 number with a tier from Beginner to World Class — fair across every bodyweight and age.
Normalized leaderboards
By class, global, or friends. Ranks the strongest lifter pound-for-pound — not the biggest guy in the room.
PR share cards
Every personal record renders a clean, branded card. One tap to your story — proof that sells itself.
Honestly compared
The only app that does both
The loggers nail speed. The coaching apps nail the engine. Nobody combines a friendly coach with fair, shareable proof — that’s the seam GainShare owns.
| GainShare | Hevy / Strong | RP / Juggernaut | Fitbod | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fast, frictionless logging | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
| Real mesocycle periodization | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| RPE-based autoregulation | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Automatic deload scheduling | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Bodyweight-adjusted Strength Score | Yes | No | No | No |
| Shareable PR proof cards | Yes | Partly | No | No |
| Plain-language coaching | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
“Partly” = an activity feed without normalized, rank-bearing proof. Competitors are great at what they do — we do that, plus the part they skip.
