How I Track My Workouts in 2023 - Hevy App

[@hevyapp]

This video is awesome, thanks so much for the support!

[@MrNoAvail]

I love this app. It helped me realize just how much im doing in volume on those days I think i havnt lifted heavy.

[@portman8909]

I currently do 3 day splits so this app works perfectly. I don't intend to go in the gym more than 4 days a week, so the max limit for free users is not an issue.

[@HenryGomezYoga]

Will definitely check this out. Thank You. Your channel has been a big help for me with strength training in terms of building a training program.

[@richiejones1500]

Just started using this app. Going to see what it's all about. Going to put it to the test right now. 👍

[@GamerBody]

How'd it go?

[@richiejones1500]

The Workout Log application effectively serves its purpose by providing a comprehensive workout log and helpful workout routines.

I have been using this app for a month almost and have been enjoying it. The person who built this made a great way to promote fitness in general. I wish we could add supersets on it though and wish they had recommendations on when to go up on things when on a progressive overload. However, for those not new to fitness like myself it is a really good app to help keep track, rather than writing everything down. I wonder if they have a feature where we can put our own measurements or something? I didn't explore too deeply into the app yet. If not any recommendations?

[@GamerBody]

They do have a measurements section in the "Profile" area. Try that out to help track it over time.

It took me a while but I finally got the Hevy app set up. Thanks for showing me how. Bands only for me. but I do have a question about workouts. Should I do workouts together, ie, Chest fly and chest press, or separate them to give the muscle a rest?

[@GamerBody]

This will depend on your split, but personally, I do full body for each of my workouts (right now 3 a week) and I alternate between exercises. Know that if you hit a body part hard enough with one exercise, you don't need another as you are just creating inroad which affects your ability to recover (leading to longer rest days between workouts).

[@ShaniaShania]

heyy! if you wanted do progressive overload does the app suggest weight increase with each workout, or do you have to manually enter it'?

[@GamerBody]

You manually enter it. I haven't seen anything for recommended weight, but that would be an awesome update.

[@ShaniaShania]

@@GamerBody thanks for getting back to me! and yeah, that would be really cool if they add that feature.

[@amacieel]

great video! do you know how superset works?

[@GamerBody]

Yes. I personally don't do them because the resistance I would use for the exercise in the superset doesn't match and I don't care to change it quickly. I'd rather just do straight sets, but that's just me. Adjustable dumbbells can be nice for supersets though.

[@NYRunnerJai]

Great video! I'm interested in tracking cardio. I downloaded the app recently on my iPhone and use it on my Apple Watch. I do have the yearly premium subscription, but can't figure out how to track my miles and timing when running (both outdoors via gps) and/or even indoors on a treadmill. Please help. Hope this is available or else this app is useless for my complete workout needs.

[@GamerBody]

I don't see a way to have it track the distance. You might have to track that separately and put it in the app. For example, I use the Fitbit to track the distance with its GPS (it also tracks time).

[@baderalhousainy]

when you input your weight, do you add the entire weight or only the one side ? i.e did bench press and had two plates on each side 45lb, do you write 90 or 180 ? also there is another feature that I don know how to use, where the app can tell you what your next weight should look like, have you used it ?

[@GamerBody]

Whatever one side is (should be the same on both sides). For example, if I am using a 30lbs weight in my right and left hands separately, I will track it as 30lbs. If attached by a bar, I still put the weight of just the one side. It just makes it easier to track that way. However, if I did something like goblet squat with 1 dumbbell (holding that 1 dumbbell with both hands), I cut the weight in half. I do this for when I move to 2 dumbbells in separate hands which happens once I run out of a heavy enough single dumbbells. I hope that makes sense.

[@clvivier]

Some of the band workouts arent listed in the app like yours. For example, overhead press (bands). Do you get more if you buy the pro version?

[@GamerBody]

Strange. They should all be public. Did you already fill all 4 free slots? I wonder if they only show a certain amount (maybe from top to bottom?). Ill have to test some things out. There should be 10 different folders with 1-3 workouts in each.

[@clvivier]

@GamerBody just bought the pro version and still no overhead shoulder press with bands. I just used overhead shoulder press with Dumb bells, which I guess is fine since I'm attributing a weight to the bands anyways. Just want to say you have great content. 👍 keep up the good work.

[@GamerBody]

Interesting. If you want my current program to add to the HEVY app, you can see it for free on gamerbody.com

[@zyyl1949]

My strength training is primarily a form of conjugate, with the paid version is it possible to add as many custom exercises as you want? Eg 3 second paused Anderson squats with an SSB bar, Swiss bar floor press etc and other very specific exercises. Thanks

[@GamerBody]

You should be able to add as many as you like (custom exercises). I would contact their support to confirm if you can do everything you require as I use the free version.

[@liftsalot]

Yes. Saying that as someone who's been paying the sub for months now.

[@zyyl1949]

@@liftsalot Thank you, I'm using the free version now and will get the paid version, thanks

[@thatoneguyyouknowlol]

@@liftsalot I’ve tried so hard to like HEVY. I have a lifetime membership and keep going back to strong because although strong no longer even has support, it’s such a better feeling

[@jenlifooklui]

What would you enter in the weight tab if you are using resistance band? Thanks!

[@GamerBody]

I made a video on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZOcYnWflpeGnrc

[@leobibis]

Yo... Can you help me? How am i supposed to track the drop series, tho? Asking because the timer doesn't start when i check a drop series... Thanks in advance!

[@GamerBody]

I personally don't do drop sets. I would track them though if you can find out how to properly use it in the app. I just do straight sets right now and it works as expected.
