****Designed by sport scientists, trusted by elite athletes****What is your maximal strength? Which weight should you use in your next training session to optimize results? PowerLift is the first scientifically designed app to measure your 1-Repetition Maximum (1-RM) in the most accurate way possible. Knowing your 1-RM in every single training session is essential to adjust your training intensity and get the best adaptations. However, performing an actual 1-RM test could be dangerous and fatiguing and, if performed every day, it will most likely lead to overtraining or injuries. To solve this problem, PowerLift uses scientifically validated algorithms that can estimate your 1-RM with high precision by simply recording your exercise. To do this, PowerLift uses the high-speed video recording available on most iPhone and iPad devices to measure the velocity at which you are performing the exercise, which is highly correlated with your maximal strength capabilities. This novel approach is used by sport scientists and top-level coaches thanks to advanced instrumental like linear transducers or force platforms, but now you can measure your 1-RM like a pro just with your iPhone or iPad!PowerLift is very intuitive and easy to use: you just need to record one repetition of the desired exercise with 1 to 4 different submaximal loads and select its start and beginning in the app with its accurate frame-by-frame navigation. After that, PowerLift will show you your 1-RM! Let's say you got a workout which includes 4x5 repetitions at your 80%1-RM. Well, you just need to pick a load and record one repetition with PowerLift. It will tell if that load really corresponds to your 80% or not, so you can increase or decrease the weight to train in the right zone!PowerLift has a lot of great features that will help you measure your 1-RM in a very simple, yet powerful way:-Estimates your 1-Repetition Maximum (1-RM) in a very simple way by measuring your movement velocity, a novel approach used by top sport scientists and elite coaches-Measures what %1-RM corresponds to a specific load so you can adjust your training and get the best results-Calculate your movement velocity to monitor your performance!-Works with some of the most widely-used upper and lower body exercises: bench-press, deadlift, pull-up & back squat.
