How can I track my personal records?

Gym LiftTracker
By Dan Taylor

Monitor and celebrate your strength milestones.

Track personal records (PRs) for each exercise:

Automatic PR Detection

LiftTracker automatically tracks:

  • Heaviest weight lifted for each exercise
  • Most reps completed at any weight
  • Highest volume (weight × sets × reps)
  • Best set performance

Viewing PRs

  1. Go to Progress tab
  2. Select an exercise
  3. View "Personal Best" section
  4. See records with dates achieved

PR Indicators

  • Gold medal icon (🏆): Appears when you beat a record
  • Highlighted workout: PRs highlighted in workout history
  • Comparison view: See current vs. previous best

Setting New Records

PRs update automatically when you:

  • Lift heavier than before
  • Complete more reps at same weight
  • Achieve higher total volume
  • Beat previous best on any metric

Note: PRs are tracked per exercise. "Barbell Bench Press" and "Dumbbell Bench Press" are tracked separately.

Motivation Tip: Review your PRs monthly to see how far you've come. Even small improvements add up over time!
