What’s New Version 2.1.0
Cloud auto-backup & new form visuals
• Cloud auto-backup is here (Premium). Your training logs, body weight, and photos are saved automatically, so you can restore everything after changing or reinstalling your device. Restoring is always free.
• All exercise reference images have been redesigned — form is easier to follow at a glance.
Description
Build your training program from your 1RM — automatically.
GymRec calculates evidence-based programs from your 1RM (one-rep max): Smolov Jr, Wendler 5/3/1, PPL, GZCL, nSuns, PHUL, PHAT, German Volume Training, and more. No more spreadsheets — every session tells you exactly what weight to lift and how many reps to hit.
Perfect for you if:
• You want to run 5/3/1 or PPL directly in an app
• You're tired of managing a training spreadsheet
• You want precise weights based on your 1RM every session
• You want to see your progress on a graph
Programs Included — all auto-generated from your 1RM
•Full Body (choose 2–3 days/week)
•Upper/Lower split (upper body / lower body)
•3-Day Split (Chest/Back/Legs)
•5-Day Split
• Smolov Jr — bench press / squat peaking specialist
• Wendler 5/3/1 — classic strength program (BBB included)
• PPL — 6-day push/pull/legs split
• 5×5 — simple beginner strength routine
• GZCL — T1/T2/T3 three-tier system
• nSuns 5/3/1 — high-volume variation

• PHAT — Layne Norton's high-frequency system
• German Volume Training (GVT) — 10×10 hypertrophy
• Texas Method — intermediate weekly PR system
• Linear Progression — Starting Strength method
Nutrition and recovery guides included with every program. Auto-optimized for your equipment (barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, or bodyweight).

Build 887493234v2.0.42026-06-26 22:56:49
This update makes sharing more reliable and adds time-based logging for planks.
• Sharing fixes: resolved an issue where share images occasionally came out blank, and a case on iOS where the share sheet didn't appear. Sharing is now smoother and more dependable.
• Log planks by time: core-hold exercises can now be recorded by how many seconds you held, instead of weight × reps.
Thanks for using the app!
Build 887074666v2.0.32026-06-25 00:07:14
Major Update! We've changed to a new design.
Build 886428672v1.0.232026-06-02 19:55:24
Smarter starting weights for AI plans
Curl exercises (barbell, dumbbell, cable, etc.) now get starting weights estimated from your bench press 1RM — no body weight required.
Chin-up starting weight now defaults to 0 regardless of body weight. If you train weighted chin-ups, your previous added weight will auto-fill from the second session onward.
Build 886364649v1.0.222026-06-01 16:48:36
[Routines Added]
You can now create and manage Routines — groups of menu sets that define your full training split (PPL, upper/lower, full body, etc.). Save your split once, load it every session.
The AI tab is now organized into three sections: Routines, Menu Sets, and AI Plans.
Build 886319279v1.0.212026-05-30 18:14:36
Fatigue recovery is now more accurate.
• Faster-recovering muscles (like the biceps) now have their fatigue drop in line with real recovery — readings feel right the day after a back workout.
• The estimated recovery time and the fatigue gauge now stay in sync.
Thanks for training with us. We'll keep refining the experience.
Build 886182005v1.0.202026-05-27 20:35:41
You can now save a default rest time for each exercise. Just tap "Save as default for this exercise" in the rest timer dialog, and it will apply automatically from next time. When training multiple exercises, the timer switches automatically as you move between them.
Build 886096649v1.0.182026-05-25 18:05:18
Keep your 0-rep sets.
Sets logged with a weight but 0 reps — like a missed max attempt — used to be deleted automatically. Now they stay in your log.
Because 0-rep sets are excluded from your 1RM, max weight, and fatigue stats, keeping them won't skew your numbers.
Thanks for using the app! We'd love to hear your feedback.
Build 886014876v1.0.172026-05-24 18:43:11
Added an ⓘ guide to the RPE field so you can check what each 1–10 level means, with examples. RPE powers the app's fatigue calculation. Also added an RPE entry to the Glossary.
