Pwrlog Workout Planner 1.2.5

Are you a functional or hybrid athlete who trains or competes in CrossFit, Hyrox, or other functional fitness events? If so, you may face a real challenge.

Your training likely consists of strength sessions, conditioning, and mixed-modal workouts or metcons. To get the maximum benefit from any training regimen, it needs to be carefully planned, logged, and analyzed.

However, tracking multiple modalities simultaneously is not an easy task. You might find yourself using multiple apps or keeping records in several notebooks. What's even more challenging is understanding if you're striking the right balance. How do you know if you're doing too much of one exercise or modality compared to another?

The Pwrlog app offers an easy and elegant solution to this problem. It provides a single place to record any type of training you do. It also provides valuable insights into your training process:

• For each exercise, you can see all past training sessions and compare results.
• You can view your current week of training at a glance.
• For each training day, you'll have a record of what you've done over the past five weeks.

Another important aspect of well-balanced training is understanding how much volume each muscle group is performing. Bodybuilders address this by training muscles in isolation and counting the number of sets and repetitions for each muscle group. In functional fitness, this approach doesn't work as well because each exercise engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously.

Generally, functional movements are categorized by movement patterns. A well-regarded performance coach, Dan John, advocates that any training routine should cover the most basic human movements: squat, hinge, push, pull, and loaded carry.

Your sport-specific training may also require the use of other movement patterns such as lunges, horizontal/vertical push and pull, running, jumping, throwing, swimming, etc.

The key question to ask is how often each movement pattern is used in your training. For example, how frequently are you squatting versus running? These insights will help you better understand your training, analyze your progress, and make adjustments based on data.

Pwrlog presents this information visually because human brains work better with images than with numbers. At a single glance, you will see an overview of all your training sessions across multiple weeks and movement patterns. Having this visual representation will give you a clear picture of how balanced your training is, where there are gaps, and how to address them.

Our team continually improves the app based on real-life feedback. It is developed and used by competing athletes who are focused on what truly helps enhance the training process and achieve the best results.
