Total Weight Lifted Tracker for iPhone (kg)

Track your total volume lifted on iPhone. Log kg per session, build toward 10,000 or 100,000 kg, and watch your tonnage accumulate without a streak reset. Free.

Total volume lifted is a metric that powerlifters and serious gym-goers use to measure training load over time. The number grows with every session: every set, every rep, every kg moved adds to a running total that reflects real training history.

A habit tracker set to "go to the gym" misses the point entirely. It records that you showed up, not how much work you actually did. A deload week might still produce four sessions but at half the volume. A peak week might produce three sessions at record volume. The streak looks the same for both.

Total volume gives a true picture of training load across months and years. The number only ever goes up. A deload week contributes less than a peak week, but it still contributes. There's nothing to reset.

A volume tracker shows 47,000 of 100,000 kg. Every session adds whatever volume you moved that day. The deload weeks, the sick days, and the travel weeks that reduce volume don't subtract from what's already logged.

A lifter doing 4,000 kg of volume per session three times per week accumulates roughly 50,000 kg in a month. Total volume varies significantly by program, exercise selection, and training phase.

Why total weight lifted is a milestone goal

Total volume lifted is a purely cumulative metric. Every kg you move in the gym adds to the running total: across sets, sessions, months, and years. The number never decreases. A deload week adds less volume than a peak week, but it still adds. A streak tracker measures whether you went to the gym on consecutive days. A total tracker measures what you actually moved.

The problem with streak trackers for total weight lifted

A planned deload week resets a gym-attendance streak when you're 45,000 kg into a 100,000 kg goal. The deload is part of the program. The volume already lifted is real. The streak shows a break where there should be a total.

What the math looks like

A session with 3,000 kg of volume three times per week accumulates roughly 36,000 kg per month. A lighter deload week still adds to the total.
