About

Beat Your Last (BYL) is a workout tracker built for one specific user: the lifter who walks into the gym and decides what to do that day. No 5×5, no 5/3/1, no PPL split — just whatever feels right. Every other workout app assumes you're following a program. BYL is built around the opposite assumption. It logs your workouts and surfaces the data that proves your random Tuesday sessions are still building strength. Per-exercise PR detection, "beat your last" prescriptions when you repeat a movement, insights into what's actually working — without telling you what to do. Free Pro access for the beta period. Reply-to-founder support. Iteration > polish.

Beat Your Last - Workout tracker for lifters who don't follow programs

I built BYL because every workout app I tried (Strong, Hevy, Fitbod) assumed I was following a program. I'm not. I walk into the gym and decide what to lift based on how I feel that day. So I built the opposite. BYL logs whatever you do, then surfaces the proof your random Tuesday sessions are still building strength. Per-exercise PRs, "beat your last" prescriptions, insights — without telling you what to do. Free Pro access for the beta period. Happy to answer anything in the thread.
