About Ironvellum
An Android training tracker that scores what you actually lift. Seal a trial,
get a number that means something.
Most trackers add up kilograms, which rewards being heavy.
Ironvellum scores a set by what it costs you:
- Body-scaled: a rep is worth reps × (bodyweight + added) / bodyweight^0.67,
the allometric exponent, so a lighter body is not outranked for being light.
- Priced per implement: a marked kilogram is not the same load on every
machine. The plate you see is converted to the load you actually carry.
- Difficulty-weighted: a handstand push-up and a push-up are not the same rep.
Tiers come from the Paths, the app's technique tree.
- Per-sex standards: strength score is normalised by muscle group using
published gaps, and every strength deed states the bar for the person
reading it.
Everything works offline. An account is optional and only ever backs up
training.
The app keeps its own words. A saved workout is a rite, your weekly plan
is a cycle, and a workout you perform is a trial, sealed when you finish and
written into your chronicle.
Features:
- The Binding, a guided first run: pick your split, weekly volume, armoury
(the equipment you own) and goal, and the app proposes an editable cycle
built from the real catalogue. No cycle is imposed on you.
- The Forge, an evidence-based builder: full body, upper/lower and
push/pull/legs for strength or muscle, fitted to your volume and armoury,
from a full gym to a pull-up bar. Forge a cycle or a rite, or temper one you
have. Every pick cites 2020-2026 research.
- Weekly coverage: an anatomical body map, male or female to match your
profile, of the sets each muscle gets, in your cycle or from the last seven
days, as one list with the short muscles first and a Forge a rite bar. Tap a
muscle on any figure to light it. Every exercise and technique has a
swipeable info sheet showing the muscles it works.
- Live trials: type a set's exact load and it carries to your later sets. Rest
