What's New

Version 1.8.3 (July 2026)

• Your program check-up now coaches you: Program Health gives specific prescriptions — what to change, why, and the action to take
• Optimize rebuilt: every adjustment comes with real coaching reasoning, and the AI is honest about what it looked at and left alone
• True pound steps: training in lbs? Weights now move in clean 5 and 10 lb steps — loadable targets, no more odd decimals
• Clearer free trial: a day-by-day timeline, plus a real reminder notification before anything is charged
• Workout reminders now land on the right day

Version 1.8.2 (July 2026)

• Sharper coaching after every workout: weight suggestions anchor to the weight you actually worked at — never a single outlier set
• No outgrown prescriptions: suggestions never send you back to a weight you've already beaten — you consolidate the next step instead
• Ease-back-in plans: skipped an exercise due to discomfort? You get a gentle return plan, not confusing advice
• Coaching text always matches the numbers shown

Version 1.8.1 (July 2026)

• Your program, in your language: switched app language? Liftplanr offers to translate your program's coaching text — day names, warm-up notes, and AI reasoning — into your new language
• Deload weeks genuinely deload: weight suggestions ease off ~10% into a scheduled recovery week and pick back up in the new cycle
• Smoother scrolling in the exercise library and swap pickers
• The week strip follows your region's first day of the week

Version 1.8.0 (July 2026)

• Swap smarter: don't like an exercise? Tap to swap it — in your program or right during setup. AI suggests alternatives that fit your gear, and you can refine with a note like "shoulder hurts"
• Weights in your bar's units: suggestions show kg or lbs to match your actual gear, with the exact plates to load
• Sharper, fully localized post-workout feedback

Version 1.7.9 (June 2026)

• Smarter starting weights that calibrate to your strength as you train
• A smoother, faster setup experience
• Fixes and refinements throughout

Version 1.7.8 (June 2026)

• Smarter starting weights: add a lift you haven't logged yet and Liftplanr estimates your first weight from related lifts you've already trained — a new low-bar squat starts from your back squat, not a generic guess
• Clearer coaching: weight suggestions tell you which lift they were estimated from
• Fix: re-running setup no longer wipes your program and leaves you stuck

Version 1.7.7 (June 2026)

• A sharper post-workout coach: it celebrates the milestones you hit, projects where your lifts are heading, and makes your very first session feel like real coaching
• First-workout walkthrough: a quick guide shows you how to log a set in one tap
• Polish: cleaner pound (lb) plate math and a smoother launch

Version 1.7.5 – 1.7.6 (June 2026)

• A smoother start: set up your first workout right from the Today screen, pick when you'll train, and get a reminder so it doesn't slip
• A gentle on-ramp: your first sessions start a little shorter to help you learn the moves and dial in your weights, then build to your full program — or take the full workout from day one with one tap

Version 1.7.4 (June 2026)

• Clear rep-based coaching for bodyweight exercises — no more confusing "reduce weight" tips on hanging leg raises
• Supersets stay grouped when you swap or edit an exercise
• No more "time to train" reminder while you're already mid-workout

Version 1.7.3 (June 2026)

• Swapping an exercise is brand new: browse alternatives grouped by movement, preview each with an autoplay loop, and see exactly what changes before you commit

• Smoother onboarding, plus stability and polish throughout

Version 1.7.2 (June 2026)

• Clearer program generation: see when the AI is building, with smooth automatic retries if your connection wobbles

Version 1.7.1 (June 2026)

• New 5-day Push/Pull/Legs split — classic PPL with a second push and pull day each week
• Smarter calendar: miss a day and your workout slides to the next open slot, avoiding back-to-back strain on the same muscles
• See your training cycle at a glance: a new phase chip shows where you are in the wave — build, push, deload — and what each week is for
• Plate math you can trust: spot a plate you don't own? Tap "Edit plates" to fix your inventory on the spot

Version 1.7.0 (June 2026)

• New Library tab: Browse all 1,550+ exercises by muscle, equipment, or movement — with your favorites, recent lifts, and current program pinned right up top
• AI exercise search: Describe what you need in plain words — "upper chest without a barbell, shoulder's a bit cranky" — and get a ranked shortlist picked for your gear and how you feel
• A cleaner, calmer look: Redesigned loading screens and a unified visual language across the app — the signature gradient now means one thing: the AI is working
• Smoother scrolling: Long exercise lists now glide, even at full library size
• General polish and bug fixes

Version 1.6.0 (May 2026)

• Tell the coach how you feel: Before you start, tap great, normal, tired or returning — and every weight and rep target adjusts instantly for the session. No spreadsheet math, no "maybe drop ten percent" guesswork
• Effort tracking, your way: Rate every set, just the big compound lifts, or skip effort tracking entirely — three modes, your call. The progression engine works either way
• A week that fits your life: Tell the coach the exact days you train and it lays out the week around your real schedule — balanced across the days you've got, no wasted slots
• General polish and bug fixes

Version 1.5.0 (May 2026)

• Pre-workout preview: Before you start a session, your coach lays out what's coming — today's weight targets and the reasoning behind them, so you walk in knowing exactly what to chase
• Free-text steering on Optimize: Type a plain-English request — "more shoulders, less back," "swap front squats for goblets" — and the AI reshapes your program around it, with every change shown for preview before you commit
• Cut, bulk or maintain: A new phase picker biases every program update and post-session adjustment to where you actually are in your training — leaner volume on a cut, aggressive progression on a bulk
• Weekly schedule editor: Lay out your training and rest days at a glance — the AI respects the week you'll actually train, not a textbook one
• Best-session callouts: When you crush a lift harder than you have in weeks, the app surfaces it: "your best squat session in 8 weeks"
• Systemic deload banner: When fatigue piles up across the program, the coach explains why this week is a backoff week and eases your loads — no second-guessing required
• Skip-pattern swap prompts: Quietly bailed on the same exercise twice? The coach offers to swap it for something you'll actually do
• Sharper minimum-equipment programs: A new program engine gives better workouts to ab-wheel-only, band-only, and apartment-quiet setups — the gear-aware programming pushed to its limits
• Quieter notifications: Workout reminders are now opt-in and honour your weekly schedule — the app only nudges when there's a real reason to
• Time budget improvements: Optimize and freetext requests now stay honest to your session-length cap
• General polish and bug fixes

Version 1.4.7 (May 2026)

• AI suggestions now write in your language: Fixed a bug where some weight-suggestion explanations leaked through in English on Finnish, Swedish, German, Spanish, Norwegian, Danish, French, Portuguese and Chinese app builds — the AI now stays in your selected language for every coaching line
• More varied coaching language: Each exercise now gets a unique reasoning sentence instead of the same template — no more "Hit target reps but..." three times in a row

Version 1.4.6 (May 2026)

• Programs build in front of you: Day cards drop in one by one as the AI writes them — first day under a second instead of waiting on a spinner
• Injury Report flows smoother: Cleaner sheet and a clearer coach voice when something hurts
• General polish and bug fixes

Version 1.4.5 (May 2026)

Version 1.2.2 (April 2026)

• Live plate breakdown: As you dial in a weight, Liftplanr shows exactly which plates to load on the bar and updates as you adjust — including from the Apple Watch crown.
