About

Lift Journey is a strength-training tools site. It exists to make one habit easier: writing down what you lift and using those notes to decide what to do next.

What's here

• Lifting Log Generator: Pick a program, enter your numbers, print a pre-filled log: one page per week, sets, reps, weight, RPE and notes.
• 1RM Calculator: Estimate your one-rep max with Epley, Brzycki and Lombardi side by side, plus a %1RM table for your next session.
• Plate Calculator: Which plates go on each side: kg or lb, any bar, your own plate inventory, with or without collars.
• RPE / RIR Chart: Reps in reserve, RPE and %1RM in one chart, with a calculator for e1RM from any logged set.

The guides explain the ideas behind the tools: progressive overload, estimated maxes, RPE and reps in reserve, training blocks and deloads. Each one lists the research and coaching sources it draws on.

How we work

• Tools first. Every calculator runs in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to us, and they work offline once loaded.
• Sources over opinions. Guides cite studies and established coaching texts. Where the evidence is thin or mixed, they say so.
• No fake experience. We don't invent testers, reviews or training stories. Real training logs and photos will be added as they are collected, and they'll be labelled as such.
• Not medical advice. This is general education for healthy adults. If something hurts, stop and see a qualified professional.
