Metric - Barbell Tracker

I really wanted to give this app five stars because I loved everything about it, except for the apps inability to recognize reps. Time after time, no matter where I put the camera, it didn’t record reps and thus didn’t give me any output for them. Because of that I won’t be going on to use the pro version, but otherwise this app was pretty useful.

Where can I send a video of the weird bar tracking… maybe it’s just the way I recorded the set but the tracking was like 2-3 pixels long on a 3 set high bar squat with full ROM

I love this app! I don’t usually write reviews, but this one deserves it. I I have the paid version of this app. I’m not compensated for this review. I use this app on an iPhone 15. I’m 60 years old and I’ve been lifting since I was 16. Being older, it’s definitely more difficult to gauge the quality of workouts. Both strenuous workout is while you’re doing it, and how much time you need to recover afterward. This app helps with both. it helps during a workout because I can see how fast I’m moving the bar, so whether it’s a strength/power workout or a speed workout, I can tell when I’m getting tired or the weight is too heavy and adjust from there. Similarly, if I do the opposite work out the next day (if yesterday was a power workout, then today is a speed workout with lighter weight, but moving the bar much faster) I can see how much weight I should use today. You can set auditory prompts to let you know if you are hitting your velocity goal, and then you can see all your data immediately after each set. It also keeps track of your personal records and it is very motivating to see during each workout that you move the bar faster on a certain weight for this workout than you did for the last workout. Even though it is the same weight,you may have moved it faster. In that just helps keep your motivation up because otherwise you can feel like you’re not making any progress. Jacob and his team are very responsive questions and suggestions. Awesome app, awesome developer.

It seems a bit inconsistent from where the timer starts for the movement and stops for the movement, across different sets of the same exercise. On one occasion, it had been way off in tracking the bar path, evidenced by the line it displayed that went in the complete opposite of the bar path. Additionally, some times don’t logically match with the load/intensity I used (i.e. set 1 of 405 lbs deadlift measured 0.55 m/s while set 2 of 455 lbs measured 0.52 m/s while set 3 of 405 lbs measured 0.57 m/s, with standardized rest times). The concept of the app is great, but I don’t feel like I can trust the measured data.

only one minor bug, sometimes the bar path feature doesn’t recognize the bar. Otherwise, this app is stellar for tracking velocity of the bar!

Probably one of the best Vbt trackers out there that doesn’t require any additional equipment

Will consistently miss sets after I hit record. When it works it’s great but will just not record sometimes.
