Real Pain, From Real Users
"The recommended routine is a wall of confusing text and links"

"I also found the way the RR was documented to be really annoying, every time I'd start a workout I'd forget the next exercise or how to do it..."

The RR Wiki Is Brilliant. It's Also Impossible to Use During a Workout.
The r/bodyweightfitness Recommended Routine is the gold standard of bodyweight training. It's been refined over a decade by the community. It works. Millions of people have built strength with it.
But the wiki page? It's a nightmare to use mid-workout. You need to:
- Open the wiki in one tab
- Open YouTube in another tab for exercise demos
- Open a notes app to track your sets and reps
- Open a timer app for rest periods
- Juggle all four while trying to actually exercise
Every session starts with "wait, what's the next pair? Was it pull-ups + squats or dips + hinges?"
IronLog: The RR, Finally in an App That Makes Sense
IronLog has the complete Recommended Routine pre-loaded as a template. Here's what changes:
| Old Way (Wiki) | IronLog Way |
|---|
| Scroll a 5,000-word wiki page | Guided step-by-step flow: warmup → skill → strength pairs → core triplet |
| Open YouTube for each exercise | Animated GIFs embedded right next to each exercise |
| Manually track sets/reps in notes | Tap to log sets, reps, and weights. History auto-saved. |
| "Wait, what's the next pair?" | Automatic progression: exercise A done → exercise B loads immediately |
| Rest timer on another app | Built-in auto rest timer with audio alerts |
| Forget progressions over time | IronLog remembers your last progression level for each exercise |
🎯 IronLog includes all three community-standard routines: Recommended Routine (RR), Bodyweight Strength Foundation (BWSF), and Minimalist Routine. Pick one and start — no wiki reading required.
What the RR Template Includes
- Warm-up — wrist circles, shoulder rolls, scapular shrugs, cat-cow, etc.
- Skill work — handstand progression, support hold (paired)
- Strength — First Pair — pull-up progression + squat progression (3 sets each, alternating)
- Strength — Second Pair — dip progression + hinge progression (3 sets each, alternating)
- Strength — Third Pair — row progression + push-up progression (3 sets each, alternating)
- Core Triplet — anti-extension + anti-rotation + extension (3 rounds)
Every exercise comes with a progression ladder (easiest → hardest) so you always know what to work toward next.
