App summary
Metric: Workout planner log is an iPhone app that brings velocity-based training (VBT) and detailed session tracking to lifters without extra sensors. Using only your phone’s camera and Metric’s proprietary computer-vision processing, it captures objective metrics—bar speed, movement tempo, and range of motion—for barbell work. The app is made to help you sharpen technique, monitor progress, and get more from every set.
