Track bands, chains, specialty bars, and equipped gear
MyPowerliftingCoach supports a comprehensive specialty equipment system designed for serious strength athletes. Whether you're using Westside-style accommodating resistance, training with specialty bars, or preparing for equipped competition, we've got you covered.
Equipment options are profile-based — you only see band and chain options on exercises where they make sense, and only if you've enabled them in your settings. This keeps the interface clean for raw lifters while giving equipped athletes full functionality.
Track bands and chains with precise resistance values. The app knows which exercises can use accommodating resistance and automatically calculates your total load at lockout.
Supports Rogue, EliteFTS, and custom bands
Leader + working chain setups supported
Squat • Bench • Deadlift • Good Mornings • RDLs • Overhead Press • Box Squat • Floor Press • Bent Over Rows • and more...

Full support for single-ply and multi-ply equipped lifting. Track your gear by brand and model, separate raw vs equipped PRs, and get equipment-specific programming.
For powerlifters who cross-train with strongman events or want to build functional strength, we support popular strongman implements.
Strongman exercises are available for manual logging, but they won't be auto-selected for powerlifting or bodybuilding programs. When we add a dedicated "Strongman" training goal, the AI will automatically program these movements. This ensures your powerlifting program stays focused on SBD specificity while still letting you track strongman training.
