Who should
pick which.
Pick Strong if
- You want simple, fast tap logging and nothing else.
- You run a fixed barbell program, like a 5x5.
- You log from an Apple Watch, with or without your phone.
Pick GainsWithAI if
- You want to know what to train today from your recovery.
- You would rather say your sets than tap them.
- You want a plan that moves when a muscle group needs another day.
Why lifters
switch.
Your body says
when to push.
Sleep, heart rate and your sets become one score per group, every morning.
Say your sets.
Done.
Log by voice between sets, or tap through with steppers and a rest timer.
A plan that
moves with you.
Fixed days, or the next ready group. Legs need another day? It waits.
Push is ready again. Pull needs about one more day.
Switching
from Strong.
- Export from Strong Settings, then Export Strong Data on iPhone or Export Data on Android. You get a CSV file.
- Import in GainsWithAI Profile, Import workouts, then choose the file or paste its text. Kilos or pounds, warm-ups and RPE come with it.
- Check and save Duplicates are skipped and your PRs are found. Each import takes about 200 KB, a few months of training, so a long history goes in parts.
Importing is part of GainsWithAI Pro.
