What Hevy is built for

Hevy is a lifting log with routines, history, and a social layer. If the gym is the whole product you want, it is a strong Strong alternative — especially if you like following friends’ sessions.

It does not plan meals, track sleep, or run a habit list. Progress in Hevy stays in the gym.

What LifeMaxing adds

LifeMaxing logs sets inside workout plans, then connects training to protein, a calorie target, sleep, and a habit tracker. Muscle is not only the last set.
