About

Hi, I’m Chris Whitsey. I’m an app developer and carer for my wife. I have a background in IT, fitness, and, somewhat unusually, the timber industry. I’m a qualified IT technician, personal trainer, and fitness instructor, and I studied sports coaching and performance at degree level. I previously worked in logistics for a timber business before deciding to focus on my wife’s health while developing apps in my spare time.

LiftCal has been updated.

Just a quick update on my LiftCal app for anyone interested.
I ve recently updated the workout analysis system to provide better single session insights, including new load pattern feedback after workouts (although there s still some refining to do).
There s also a new workout history view, allowing users to track previous sessions and quickly repeat workouts they want to revisit.
Finally, the coaching tab has been improved to provide more meaningful long term training feedback and progression insights.
The app is still in active development, but if anyone would like to try it, feel free to download it free of charge. Here is the link: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/li...

LiftCal - LiftCal – Track your lifting, analyse your workouts

LiftCal is a weightlifting-focused workout analyser that tracks every exercise you do, estimates calories burned, and shows which exercises you’re excelling at and which need more attention. Unlike most calorie calculators that focus on cardio, LiftCal was built specifically for resistance training to give lifters accurate insights and meaningful data on their sessions
