Gainz+Gainz: Hypertrophy Coach
Gym Workout Planner
Only for iPhone
Free · In‑App Purchases
Look like you lift. Gainz + Gainz is a hypertrophy app for lifters who want to get big, with a plan built around you that changes as you do. A developed physique speaks before you say a word.
Most fitness apps track what you did. Gainz + Gainz decides what should happen next. It adapts your training as you progress, so consistent work turns into more size, better proportions, and a physique that keeps improving.
Because the point isn't to work out.
It's to look like you do.

DON'T LOOK THE SAME NEXT YEAR
Most programs work for a while.
Then your body adapts and the program stays the same.
You keep adding weight, adding reps, adding sets. The hours stay high. The return gets smaller.
Gainz + Gainz watches what happens when you train and changes what comes next.
Your program should develop because you do.
---
THE GYM IS WHERE YOU BUILD IT
The payoff comes afterward.
When the shirt fits differently.
When the mirror looks different.
When you no longer have to tell anyone you train.
