Coach powerlifters without the spreadsheet.
Program squat, bench and deadlift blocks, see every set your lifters log, review their video on the exact set, and track bodyweight and readiness into a meet. One tool, on web and iOS.
What slows powerlifting coaching down
The program lives in one place, reality in another
The sheet says 190 kg, the lifter's log says RPE 9.5, the video is in a chat. Pushit puts the plan, the logged set and the video in one view.
RPE programming means recalculating by hand
Autoregulation is only useful if somebody applies it. Pushit adjusts the next load itself when a set lands below, inside or above the target range.
Peaking is hard to read in a grid of cells
Estimated 1RM, tonnage, RPE and bodyweight trends over 4 weeks to all time show how a block is actually going.
A peaking week, written once
An illustrative week as you'd write it in Pushit. Each line is a click-based rule, and loads work themselves out before every session.
- Squat1 top set at RPE 8, then 3 backoff sets at 90% of the top set
- Bench4 × 3 at 82.5% of estimated 1RM, updated from the lifter's logged history
- Deadlift3 × 2 at RPE 7, load adjusts by 2.5 kg when the set lands outside the range
- Pause squat3 × 3 with a 2 second pause at the bottom
Your athlete sees the finished weights. You see what they actually lifted.
Built for the way powerlifters train
RPE and RIR autoregulation
Set a target range and an adjustment in percentage points or kilograms. Pushit raises or lowers the load from the RPE the lifter actually hit.
Top sets with backoffs
Backoff sets as a percentage of an earlier set in the same session, using that set's actual weight or its implied max.
Video on the exact set
A trimmed clip is attached to the set it was filmed on, next to weight, reps and RPE. No more matching a chat video to a spreadsheet row.
Tempo and pauses
Prescribe competition-style pauses and slow eccentrics with independently timed phases for the eccentric, bottom pause, concentric and top pause.
Analytics for a whole block
Estimated and tested 1RM, tonnage, reps, sets, RPE and time between sets, as average or median, per session or per week.
Bodyweight and readiness in view
Daily bodyweight syncs from Apple Health, with soreness check-ins and a readiness score, so a cut or a rough week shows up before it costs a lift.
Replace the sheet with something your lifters want to open.
Sign in, build your first block, and send a lifter their pairing code.
Powerlifting coaching, the questions people ask
It depends on how you coach, but the useful checklist is: RPE and percentage programming, backoff sets from a top set, a logger lifters like using, video tied to the set, and analytics. Pushit covers all of that in one tool on web and iOS, and it is free for coaches and athletes.
Yes. You set an RPE or RIR target range and how much load should change when a set lands below, inside or above it. Pushit applies it automatically, using a standard RPE-to-percentage chart.
Yes. They trim and attach a clip to the set they just logged. It appears in your review queue next to that exact weight, reps and RPE. Clips are kept in the cloud on a 14 day rolling basis.
Yes. Bodyweight, calories and steps sync daily from Apple Health, which works with nutrition apps like MacroFactor, MyFitnessPal and Cronometer. You see the trend alongside training data.
Yes for programming, logging and review. You build blocks in the editor, and duplicating a set or a whole week is one action, so repeating a block is quick.
No. Pushit is 100% free for athletes and coaches, and the roster is unlimited.
