Track workouts and progress steadily.

📋 description

workouts visualises progress in maximum weight and weight volume for every exercise you're performing from a specific data format you write after each exercise.

You record your exercises in datasets/workouts/workouts.txt in the following format:

DATE [DESCRIPTION]
  EXERCISE_NAME ([WEIGHT][UNIT] [SETS]xREPS)...

2023.04.13 17:30
  squat 80kg 4x12
  deadlift 70kg x12 80kg 2x5 90kg x3

Then you run blaze run src/python:analyse_workouts and it draws the progress of the maximum weight you lifted and total weight volume lifted on a particular day.

How I use it

While doing a workout, I write workouts in Google Keep on my phone. Every so often, I copy those notes into the /datasets/workouts/workouts.txt and run blaze run src/python:analyse_workouts. Then I inspect the maximum weight and weight volume progress on particular exercises and adjust my future workouts to maintain the progress.

The goal is to keep progressively increasing volume and/or maximum weight.

Here are some graphs of my progress for popular exercises when I started working out:

future work

1. Make the program easy to install and use by others.
2. Show weekly strain of a particular muscle group.
3. Identify underworked muscles and suggest exercises for them.
4. Suggest weight to lift, and number of sets and reps to do for an exercise.
