Strengths and weaknesses
Brolic
- Free with no ads, subscription or in-app purchases
- Shows exactly how much you need to pass the next lifter
- Community voting keeps doubtful lifts off the boards
- Needs an account, and your lifts and first name are public
- No AI programs or coaching, and no Android app
Brolic is a quick workout logger with a twist: every lift has a leaderboard, worldwide or narrowed to your country, city or weight class, and it shows exactly how much you need to pass the next lifter. Other lifters vote lifts real or fake, and a lift with more fake votes than real ones drops off the board. It needs an account and its programming tools are lighter than Hevy or Fitbod, but logging is fast and everything is free.
