The only way to make gains is to increase the amount of work you perform every time you hit the gym--Progressive Overload. This app measures the load you put on your muscles each workout. Get notified on your progress after each set. The three main components of each set: weight x repetitions x time. All three are a factor in the amount of work performed. Track progressive overload with the product of these three measurements. Use the graphs and database to observe your progression.
Here is how it works:
1. Lift heavy. Results are not achieved with light weights.
2. Perform the last set of each exercise to failure. Exhaust every single muscle fiber.
3. Spend 4 seconds on each rep.
4. Collect the weight, number of reps, and duration for each set.
5. Workout load = weight • reps • duration.
6. If your current workout load is greater than your previous workout load, you are overloading. Continue maintaining progressive overload for optimal gains.

Push pull legs is one of the most widely used lifting regimens today. For those unfamiliar with the program, each exercise is organized into its respective workout type; examples: bench press is a push, a deadlift is a pull, squats are legs. Generally, the regimen is performed exactly as the name implies: push workout first, then the pull workout the following day, and the leg workout last, followed by a day or two of rest before repeating the pattern, but you can customize the pattern however you want.
