LiftsmithSwitch from StrongLifts without losing your history
Years of logged sets shouldn't keep you in an app. Export a CSV from StrongLifts, import it into Liftsmith, and every workout, set and personal best comes with you. It takes a few minutes, and the file is read on your device, never uploaded.
How to move your workouts
- Open StrongLifts and go to its settings.
- Choose the option to export your workouts. StrongLifts saves them as a CSV file.
- Save the file somewhere you can reach from the phone or computer you'll use for Liftsmith, like your files app, email or a cloud drive.
- Open Liftsmith (the app, or the web app in any browser) and go to Settings, then Data.
- Tap Import workouts (CSV) and pick the file.
- Check the exercise list. Liftsmith matches each of your exercises to one in its library; change any it got wrong, or keep it as your own exercise.
- Tap Import. Your workouts appear in your history, and your next plan starts from them.
What comes across
- ✓ Every workout with its date, name and length
- ✓ Every set's reps and weight, including sets where you missed reps
Good to know
- Liftsmith reads the unit from the weight column. If the file doesn't say, Liftsmith asks you once before importing.
- Exercises you skipped (no reps in any set) are left out, and Liftsmith tells you how many.
- Importing the same file twice adds nothing, so you can import again later to bring newer workouts across.
What changes after you switch
Your history isn't just kept, it's used. Liftsmith reads your imported sets to estimate your max on every lift, sets the weight for your next workout from them, and shows how many sets each muscle got recently on the recovery map. Instead of picking what to do each day, you open the app and the workout is already planned around your equipment, recovery and time.
