# Lift Ledger: A Simple Fitness Tracking Format
Lift Ledger is a plain text format for tracking fitness workouts and progress over time. It's designed to be easy to edit manually while also being parser-friendly and extensible.
It's inspired by [beancount](https://github.com/beancount/beancount). Co-designed with Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
## Key Features
- Simple, human-readable plain text format
- Easy to edit manually or with basic text editors
- Structured for easy parsing by programs
- Flexible organization (by day, week, month, or year)
- Supports exercise definitions, workout templates, and logging
- Accommodates incomplete sets and workout notes
## Basic Format

## Format Explanation
- Lines starting with ';' are comments
- '@exercises' section defines exercises with details
- '@template' defines workout templates
- Date lines start workouts, measurements, or personal records
- '*' indicates a workout, '#' measurements, '^' personal records
- Exercise logs: `Name: Weight Reps @RPE "Optional notes"`
- Reps can be noted as `5x3` for consistent sets or `5/5/4` for varying reps
- Use "BW" for bodyweight exercises
## Extensibility
The format is designed to be extended by third-party tools. Special comments (e.g., '; @tool-specific-instruction') can be used for custom features but are ignored by the core parser.
## Getting Started
1. Create a new text file with a `.lfl` extension
2. Start by defining your exercises and workout templates
3. Log your workouts, measurements, and personal records
4. Use comments to add any additional information
