Weightlifting for Kiwis - Discussion and support regarding the art of swole

[dick brain]

What's a good app for putting together a workout? I currently use Strong, but it's missing a bunch of dumbbell exercises. I can substitute in the barbell version and just do it with dumbbells, but it got me wondering if there's a better app.

I just use an excel spreadsheet to track my progress

Believe it or not, not everything needs to be done via a dedicated app

No shit. Believe it or not, if someone's asking for an app recommendation, it's because they'd prefer to use an app.

I use Hevy. It has a bunch of exercises in it but it also allows you to create your own.

Grind? Is that an app to find training partners that are also on the sigma grindset like me? Based.

fucking foreigners on my kiwifarms.



does anyone else here just completely eyeball it when it comes to keeping track of how much you lift? I just lift big things because it feels great and when it stops feeling like anything i just add more and more weight. ill occassionally check with a scale to see how much it weighs but thats about it, because i still have a specific goal in mind (230lbs lift)

Man, I haven't worked out aside from some light cardio in like a year and a half. Even with 15 pound dumbbells, day one of my weekly workout left my arms feeling like noodles. I'm really dreading leg day on Wednesday.

The incline bench seat at the gym is still broken, so I've been sticking to the flat bench presses with dumbells. On the one hand, it is very annoying to waste this much time without having worked on the incline bench. On the other, it made chest days a lot more enjoyable because, to be honest, I don't really like barbells that much. The only exercise where I prefer them is overhead press, they're just a pain everywhere else.

Dips are not as good a substitute but they're easy and fun to do. Will probably weight them in the near future, I've been able to dish out a lot of reps with my bodyweight alone.
