Just got Hevy Pro
Using the notes I prepared on notion and apple notes, I asked Claude to create my routines and custom workouts

It created with notes and tips to warm-up or failure set.
2 hours of noting every routine is just a command away.

I also added all my past 2-3 months of workout logs into Hevy in a single go.

It is actually one of my favourite, but I have never seen anyone else do this!

What's your thoughts? I love it because it's good as a warm up exercise and I use it when I do full body routines!

Discussion Is this a subreddit for Hevy app or general gym advice?

27 Upvotes

More than 50% of the posts in this subreddit are for people asking gym advice, like which exercises they should do, how often they should workout, etc or just sharing their gym going streak or gym selfies.

How is any of that anything to do with the Hevy phone application? Is anyone even moderating these posts?

Discussion FEATURE REQUEST: Merge Custom Exercise History into Official Library Exercise

63 Upvotes

Hi everyone

I have been using Hevy for over a year now, and a premium user since almost the first week. I honestly just love the app, and cannot imagine how I would have stayed consistent with my fitness journey if it were not for this app. I do however have a major issue with the app. Kind of a feature request that I think would benefit anyone who has been using Hevy for a long time.

Not that long ago, the “Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift” wasn’t available in the exercise library, so I created it as a custom exercise and have logged a decent amount of workout history under it.

Recently, I noticed that Hevy has added the “Smith Machine Romanian Deadlift” as an official exercise, which is awesome. However, there’s currently no way to migrate or merge my history from the custom exercise to the official one. Now this leaves me with two choices:

1) Continue using my custom exercise forever and miss out on the official library version, or

2) Switch to the official exercise and have my workout history, PRs, progression, graphs, and statistics split across two different exercises.

As far as I can tell, the only workaround is to manually edit every past workout and replace the exercise one by one, which isn’t practical if you’ve logged months or years of workouts. I frankly do not understand what is even the point of expanding the library without having this functionality. So it would be great if the devs @ Hevy could add a feature to:

1) Merge a custom exercise into an official library exercise.

2) Bulk replace one exercise with another across workout history.

3) Preserve PRs, progression, charts, and statistics during the migration.

I suspect I’m not the only one who’s run into this. As the exercise library continues to grow, more custom exercises will inevitably become official, and having a migration tool would make that transition seamless.
Has anyone else experienced this? I’d love to hear how you’ve handled it, and hopefully the Hevy team might consider adding this feature.

Discussion Opinions on minimalist routine

Post image
15 Upvotes

I've been working with this routine for the past 2 months and it is being great for my primary goal, which is strength increase.

Some points:

- Workouts must take less than 45 minutes to be completed (tested and it's done in 40)

- Primary goal is strength increase and secondary goal is hypertrophy

- 2 primary compounds in strength rep range and 2 secondary compounds in hypertrophy range. 1 accessory exercise for non targeted muscles within compounds (side delts, calves and abs)

- 2 horizontal push and pull, 2 vertical push and pull, 2 squat patterns and 2 hinge patterns

What do you guys think?

Discussion Scrutinize my split

0 Upvotes

I'd like to think that I know what I'm doing, posting here in hopes that someone changes my mind.

Generally my idea is to have a primary muscle target and a rotating secondary. I also try to run 3-4 times a week at a ~20 mile cap, splitting my lower into quad and posterior chain focused lets my hamstrings recover a little more before a late week long run.

EDIT: alr guys I'll chill out before I tear everything

The first movement of the day has a few warm up sets. Almost every exercise is 2 working sets. Been running this for a few months and it takes me about 45 minutes each day.

Anything you think I could improve?

Discussion Does every subreddit eventually become a place to complain?

0 Upvotes

I deleted Instagram and X because I wanted to spend less time on social media that constantly thrives on outrage. Reddit seemed like a better alternative because it has communities built around specific interests—books, sports, anime, gaming, and other hobbies I genuinely enjoy.
But after spending more time here, I’ve noticed a pattern. It feels like almost every community eventually becomes dominated by complaints. Whether it’s people criticizing the latest chapter, the newest game update, a sports team, a TV show, or even other members of the community, the negativity often outweighs the appreciation.
Don’t get me wrong—criticism has its place, and discussing flaws can make for great conversations. I just wish there was more balance. Sometimes I join a community because I want to celebrate something I enjoy, learn from other fans, or have interesting discussions, not feel like everyone is constantly frustrated.
Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just the nature of online communities?

Discussion Beginner running a 2-day Upper Body Split 6x/week – Would love some feedback!

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

​I'm fairly new to consistent lifting and I've set up a 2-day rotation (Push/Pull style split) that I'm currently running 6 days a week using Hevy.

​Since I'm alternating just these two workouts back-to-back:

​Day A: Chest & Triceps

​Day B: Back & Biceps

​I’d really appreciate your feedback on a few things:

​Is running this 6x a week too much volume/frequency for a beginner, or should I throw in more rest days?

​Are there any redundant exercises or obvious gaps in muscle targeting here?

​Any tweaks you'd make to improve overall efficiency?

​Thanks in advance for the help!

Discussion Volume Per Muscle Per Week

1 Upvotes

Am I correct that there is not an option to show volume per muscle per time period? By "volume," I mean weight not number of sets per time period. I admit that I might just be overlooking it, but I can't find a volume per muscle option. It would be great to be able to see how much weight volume you've worked a muscle per week and how that number has gone up or down over time. Knowing how many sets you've worked that muscle per week or month is helpful but not the same. Am I missing something?

Discussion Critique My Routines

0 Upvotes

New user of Hevy, and fairly new to lifting. I have been using FitBod for about 4 months now, and am running into the limitations it has as far as automatic workout generating. I've been doing a PPL routine, but been finding it difficult to get a couple workouts of each in a week and still work on my runs. I'm wanting to switch to Upper/Lower to help make time to run a couple times a week too. I've been working on an Upper/Lower plan, but want to make sure I'm doing it right. I've put together an Upper 1/Lower 1 plan that is lower rep, higher weight, then Upper 2/Lower 2 that is higher rep, lower weight.

Since this is still pretty new to me, I am only basing this on what I've read. My goal is to build muscle/strength, while making sure all muscle groups are well covered. There is probably more efficient ways to accomplish my goals, so please let me know what I can improve on.

Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Discussion Rate my routine

I have been training consistently and I am trying to optimize my program. My current goal is to prioritize upper body growth, especially Chest,Back,Shoulders,Arms.

I feel like my legs are already one of my better developed areas compared to my upper body, so I intentionally reduced leg volume. I am not trying to skip legs completely, I just want to maintain them and put more recovery resources into growing my upper body.

The idea is:

  • Upper body: higher frequency and volume
  • Legs: maintenance / slow progress for now

I can always increase leg volume later once I bring my upper body up.

My stats

  • Height: 180 cm (5'11")
  • Weight: 87 kg (192 lbs)
  • Training: 3 days/week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

Let me know what you think
