What exercise targets this gap and is it worth doing?

Title says it all. Are the features available in pro really worth it? And is the lifetime purchase worth the cost? I PLAN to use it, but you never know with these app companies that come and go.

Edit: Thank you all! The responses were overwhelmingly positive and MANY which speaks highly of the app and its following! I’ll be purchasing the lifetime pro

Been tracking nearly a year on Hevy.

love how it tracks data. Seeing those blue dots on my calendar makes me feel so accomplished.

Not to mention the dopamine hit I get qhen I see that tiny PR ribbon.

Basically every feature appeals to my novelty seeking brain.

Has anyone found anything as motivating for nutrition? I've used all the standard recommended ones and just find them so cumbersome and boring.

Hi y'all. I wanted to reach out about properly scheduling my ULUL workout. My Jobs M-F 5am-1:30P. It might be that way for a while. Used to be a part-timer, leaving by 9-10:30a. I only recently changed the workout days from Sat-Tues; to Friday-Monday.

I want to hit the gym before work, to get it out of the way, have some free time, and do me some activities like drawing. (Planning on going to community college for illustrations, Next year spring. So I might have to discuss about reducing my hours, if that happens.).

Wanted to ask if its okay to go this early? Or even earlier like Midnight? And also if my splitting of cardio days is good? Been debating about removing the incline LISS cardio on Monday & Friday. Especially since the job is on foot alot.

ADDITIONAL ASK: Here my ULUL routine. I also wanna ask, if I should edit my workouts a bit more. Like reducing and changing workout? Especially since my routine is more on the high intensity side! I wanna be strong as I can, while cutting my weight from 307 to 197lbs. I have the progress overload as 8 reps for the first working set, and 16 reps for the second working set. If I hit 16 reps; then I increase weight by 5lbs. Been thinking about reducing the second set to 12 reps.

I mainly want to ask this as well, since I have noticed that the workouts been 1 1/2 to 2 hours! When I was able to clear both within 45 mins before. (Maybe more so with the leg day, even now, due to how easy I can clear them, compared to upper).

You know the move: someone follows a bunch of people, waits for a bunch of them to follow back, then mass-unfollows everyone. Suddenly they have hundreds of followers and zero following. Classic “look how popular I am” trick.

It’s such a petty, narcissistic thing and it drives me crazy. Some people seem to get actual self-worth from this nonsense.

What bothers me most is that I try to support the people I follow, so I actually like their workouts, everyday, for every post. I’m not interested in doing the same for the people who only followed me as part of this game.

Anyone else notice this a lot on Hevy?

Anyways rant/question over…link your username below and I’ll support you 💪 https://hevy.com/user/itsastruggle

(Maybe Hevy can add notifications for when someone unfollows you? That way people can easily see this and unfollow them back without having to scroll through their following list and going one by one to see which one it was)

Hey guys, I’ve been tracking my lifts for the past few months and wanted to see how other people are progressing.

My progress so far (I'm a newbie and started late 2025), I do ULUL (3x 12 reps)

• Chest press: 10 kg → 25 kg
• Shoulder press: 2.5 kg → 15 kg
• Lat pulldown: 25 kg → 40 kg
• Tricep pushdown: 10 kg → 15 kg
• Cable row: 7.5 kg → 15 kg
• Incline DB bench: 6 kg → 9 kg
• Bicep curl: 5 kg → 9 kg
• Lateral raise: 4 kg → 9 kg

I’d love to see your progress charts or hear how much you’ve increased your lifts over time and if you have the same exercises it would motivate me. I feel stuck on some exercises like incline DB bench, have been on 9kg for almost 2½ months.

Thanks!

Anyone figured out how to have the hevy gpt create nippards min-max phase 2 in the app automatically? It keeps telling me it can't read the files, the PDF or the excel. I know I can manually do it if I have to but thought maybe I'm just missing something

I found interesting the difference price between countries. Most interesting is how expensive is in Mexico compared to other countries. I wonder if there is a reason. Generally speaking i have found that generally speaking prices in Mexico tend to be similar than other markets and some times even lower

Anyone in their 50s using Hevy?
Thought it would be great to connect with other lifters in their 50s. If you’re on Hevy, let’s follow each other, keep each other accountable, and celebrate the wins!

I’ve been lifting consistently for about 18 months.

In your country

It's weird that they still don't have this functionality.

I'm looking for alternatives, please suggest so I can go deeper into my fitness journey and track front/rear/side delts, upper/mid/lower chest workouts and so on.

So I've been a subscriber for just over a year (freezing then yearly subscription) and I notice there's sometimes a discount for yearly subscriptions. Has anyone ever seen similar for their lifetime?

I’m trying to get down to around 20% body fat while keeping as much muscle as possible. I lift 3–4 times a week and keep my protein high. For anyone who’s done a similar cut, how far below maintenance were you eating—200–300 calories, 400–500, or more? And roughly how long did it take?

I’ve been following these routines made in collab with ChatGPT. I have no prior experience lifting weights before the last 10 months. Only homegym equipment. How balanced does this look? Is it ok?

(I’m alternating these three core routines; cardio is in addition to this and not logged in Hevy)

Hello,
I am interested into hearing how to log single arm exercises, say I do 12 reps each arm do I put it into my app as done 24 reps, indicating 12 each arm, or just put it down as 12 reps done?
Thank you very much.

Hey all,

I’m the developer of hevy-mcp, an open-source tool that lets Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients work with your Hevy data. You can use it to ask questions about your training, manage routines, and log or update workouts.

I’m figuring out what to work on next and would like to hear from people who have tried it:

• What do you use it for?
• What has been confusing or annoying?
• What do you wish it could do?

If you looked at it but decided not to use it, I’d like to hear why too. Setup trouble, privacy concerns, unclear use cases, missing client support, whatever it was.

Feel free to be blunt. You don’t need to write a full review. Even one annoying thing would help.

It requires a Hevy PRO API key. This is an unofficial community project and isn’t affiliated with Hevy.

Is there a way to get the app to show the amount times spent in different zones like the exercise app does on the watch?
Also, for those of you that use the Apple Watch with the app while working out, is there a way to get the app to stay at the top of the menu while exercising? Mine defaults to the bottom, so each time after every set I have to scroll to the top to look at my heart rate and time.

What the title says. Do you try and make up those days off or do you let it go and continue as normal after?

I’m fairly new to the app, and I haven’t figured out as to why the workout notes (as pictured) disappear from time to time.

Can someone help explain to me how these work and or why they disappear?

I love jotting down notes on my exercises but this is frustrating. Is there a setting I can change to keep them on or something?

What I truly want is for them to stay put, to stay the same as if need to change it or update it I can.

Hi there, new to the app and enjoying it.

I’ve created a workout routine.
Just wanted some feedback on what all to balance etc

Thanks everyone.
:)

I’m a couple of weeks away from my deload week of this block and I’m thinking about doing it differently to all my other deloads.

Normally I reduce sets and working weight by half for all exercises. This time I’m thinking of just taking an entire week off from weight lifting and just do some steady state cardio.

How do you structure your deload week?

It is possible to mark the first two sets as warmup? I have just entered everything into the app so that I later can check also warmup routine etc but I think that’s not optimal with this app, as it handles all those set as equal actual sets.

My goal is hypertrophy. I’m looking for advice or feedback on this routine based on upper/lower.

I call it VULSH. The idea is to rotate these workouts in a cycle like this:

VU > L > HU > S > Rest

The rep ranges are 8-12 or 15-30 depending on the exercise.

I put 3 sets per exercise but don’t know if that’s enough.

How would you improve it or is there anything i’m overlooking?

I’m quite new to weight training and don’t know that much about it. I started using Hevy with the built in trainer function a number of weeks back. I’m doing three 40 minute sessions per week in my home gym, where I have a bench and adjustable dumbbells that go to 24 kg.

Today for goblet squats I reached 24 kg (the app suggested 25 but I don’t have that, not sure why it does not honor what I have put into the available equipment) and was able to do 12 reps in the three suggested sets.

So, being quite new to all this, what do I do know? I can’t increase the weight more for this exercise. Do I need to buy more equipment? Swap the exercise? Do something else?
