SoleGym: Hypertrophy Tracker

SoleGym

About this app

SoleGym is the solo lifter's ledger: a hypertrophy tracker that logs your workouts, decides your next weights, and plans whole training blocks — fully offline, with no account and no subscription. You lift and log; the engine does the maths.

LOG SETS IN SECONDS ✓ Start today's planned workout with one tap, or go freestyle ✓ Targets prefilled from last time — the Fill button loads the whole prescription ✓ Per-side plate math and a warm-up ramp for barbell lifts ✓ Tick a set done and the rest timer starts itself: six presets, an on-time alert even with the app in the background, a double buzz, and a stopwatch when you want one

ONE WEIGHT DECISION PER LIFT, EVERY SESSION ✓ RPE autoregulation reads your top set — easy adds load, grinding backs off ✓ Prefer fixed rules? Double progression and linear styles, set per lift ✓ Two misses trigger a 10% reset, so plateaus resolve themselves ✓ Simulate the next session before you commit, then see every banked decision in the summary — with estimated-1RM PR stamps

MESOCYCLES WITHOUT GUESSWORK ✓ Plan a 4–8 week block: intro, accumulation, overload, peak, then a deload that is not optional ✓ Weekly RPE and RIR targets per lift — big bar lifts stop shy of failure on peak weeks ✓ Priority muscles earn the extra sets; sore ones hold; nothing passes MRV ✓ The volume-wave chart plots planned sets against actual tonnage, with a forecast for the remaining weeks ✓ Not ready for a block? Run a simple deload cadence instead

VOLUME ZONES: MEV / MAV / MRV ✓ Weekly hard sets counted across twelve muscle groups, zoned from below-MEV to above-MRV ✓ Compounds credit their secondary muscles fractionally — a heavy row quietly trains your biceps too ✓ Landmarks scale with training age: beginner, intermediate or advanced — the volume side of hypertrophy training, visible at a glance

A LIBRARY THAT PULLS ITS WEIGHT ✓ 299 exercises, every one tagged by muscle and equipment; add your own in seconds ✓ 8 built-in templates — Push/Pull/Legs A+B and 5×5 A/B — plus a full editor for your own ✓ Tags drive grouping, load increments, plate math and the volume analysis

THE LEDGER: HISTORY AND BODY ✓ Weekly tonnage and per-muscle volume, plus lift trends by estimated 1RM or heaviest set ✓ Body tracking: weight and eight tape sites, body-fat estimates via Navy, YMCA or CUN-BAE — plus lean mass, BMR and TDEE ✓ Goals with pace status and a projected finish date ✓ Nothing derived is ever stored — edit an old entry and history recomputes honestly

WHY SOLEGYM

Offline by construction: the app carries no internet permission at all. It cannot phone home, sync, or serve ads.
No account, ever. Your phone holds the data; JSON backups — manual, plus a weekly automatic one to a folder you choose — move it.
Pay once, own it: no subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases.
A transparent engine: one decision per lift per session, shown and banked, never silent.

The fine print, plainly: SoleGym is a paid app for phones running Android 8.0 or newer. It uses four permissions — notifications and exact alarms for the rest-over alert, vibration for the buzz, and keep-awake while a session runs. Metric and imperial units, dark mode and Material You colour are all in.

Start your first session tonight: the heaviest set of each lift becomes its baseline, and the engine takes it from there.
