    I started lifting for self improvement and quickly got hooked on progression and getting stronger. It didn’t take long to become a habit and now it’s the thing I most look forward to after a long day of work. With no more than three hours per week you can completely transform yourself…

      Lift heavy things! If you keep lifting them then you can lift even heavier things!

      No joke, this is my favorite aspect too. It gets to a point where you start to enjoy the soreness.

        It’s IRL character advancement. That’s the trick if you’re into RPGs. Sometimes you gotta grind for that XP.

          A lot of the fitness apps have tracking for weightlifting. You get a little badge or animation when you hit a new max… I think there’s a missed opportunity here for a weightlifting RPG like walkscape is for walking…

        Yes and then tracking, in great detail, exactly how heavy the things were and how much heavier they were than last time. Just incredible stuff
