android exercise tracking application that can record complexes?

November 5, 2018 9:12 PM

I'm looking for an exercise tracking application that (1) runs on Android, (2) doesn't request bizarre permissions (no location, no identity, no contacts, definitely no microphone), and (3) can record complexes, where a single rep is a sequence of several lifts (e.g., 1 snatch + 1 overhead squat, or 1 clean + 1 front squat + 1 jerk). Any ideas?

I do powerlifting, not weightlifting, but I adore "Strong" as a workout app and I think it might meet your needs! It does have an Android version but I can't speak to the permissions requested - on iPhone I don't recall it needing any noticeably expansive permissions. They do encourage you to sign up for an account to back your data up but it's not required. You have the ability to create your own exercises which could be how you record a complex (e.g. create an exercise called Cl + FS + J Complex or something), or you could use their superset feature if you want to also track your weight progress on each of those exercises individually. There's a fee (around $5?) but you can use it for free for a couple workouts to make sure you like it first.
