You start on an empty Workouts tab and finish with a saved workout called Push Day. It has Barbell Bench Press for 3 sets of 8 and Incline Dumbbell Bench Press for 3 sets of 10. Use your own lifts and numbers if you already have a plan on paper.

Before you start

  • The LiftTrack app, signed in. A free account can create 3 workouts of its own; a fourth needs Premium. Workouts that come with a program do not count toward the 3.
  • The weights you lift today, or a starting guess. You can change every number later.
  • Optional: a Garmin watch connected to LiftTrack, if you want the workout on your wrist.

Create the workout

  1. Open the Workouts tab. With no workouts yet, it reads No workouts yet.
  2. Tap New workout. The Edit workout screen opens.
  3. If LiftTrack asks for your Weight unit, tap kg or lb. Every weight in the app uses this unit.
  4. In Name, enter Push Day. LiftTrack does not save a workout without a name.

The empty workout now offers Take photo, Choose from library, Describe workout and Search exercises.

Add your exercises

  1. Tap Search exercises. The Exercises screen opens.
  2. In Search exercises, enter bench press.
  3. Tap Barbell Bench Press, then tap Incline Dumbbell Bench Press. Each chosen exercise shows a check, and the add button now reads Add 2 exercises.
  4. Tap Add 2 exercises. Both exercises appear on Edit workout as cards, in the order you chose them.

Set the weight and reps

Each new card starts with one set. For an exercise you have done in LiftTrack before, the card copies the sets from your last session instead.

  1. On the Barbell Bench Press card, tap the weight in set 1 and enter 175 lb (or 80 kg).
  2. Tap the reps in set 1 and enter 8.
  3. Tap Add set twice. Each new set copies the previous set, so the card now shows 3 sets of 8 at 175 lb.
  4. On the Incline Dumbbell Bench Press card, enter 50 lb (or 22.5 kg) and 10 reps in set 1, then tap Add set twice.

Save the workout

  2. On the Workouts tab, Push Day now shows as a card with 2 exercises under its name.
  3. Tap Push Day. The workout opens with Start, Edit, Schedule, Garmin and Share under its name.

You now have a saved workout you can do again every session. To set the rest between sets or pair exercises, see how to build a workout.
