About Work Up

What it does

Work Up is a barbell loading app for powerlifters, read between sets with chalk on your hands. Enter today's top set for a lift and it lays out the warm-ups that build to it, showing only the plates to add or take off since the last set. It also answers the two questions every lifter asks a calculator: what plates make 142.5, and what does this loaded bar weigh. Any set can be filmed, or a clip already in your photo library linked to it — the app keeps a pointer to that clip and never a copy of it.
