Check the common questions below, or email us and we’ll get back to you.
How do I set my protein target?
Open Profile. Body weight and multiplier (default 1.0 g per lb) set your daily grams. You can also enter a custom target. Protein remaining on Today and the Protein tab uses that number.
How do I log protein quickly?
On iPhone, use favorites or add from the food list. You can also scan a barcode or use a food photo helper. On Apple Watch, use quick foods or custom grams. With Siri: “Log lunch in LiftIron-HP” (it may ask for food or grams).
Can I use the Watch when my phone is in the gym bag?
Yes. The Watch app works on its own for protein and set logging. Entries sync to your iPhone when it’s back in range (WatchConnectivity / iCloud). Open the Watch app once after installing so shortcuts and data are ready.
Siri / Shortcuts aren’t finding LiftIron-HP
Install and open the app on iPhone and Watch once. Then try phrases like “Log protein in LiftIron-HP” or “Log set in LiftIron-HP.” You can also find actions in the Shortcuts app under LiftIron-HP.
My devices aren’t syncing
Sign into the same iCloud account on each device, keep a network connection when possible, and leave the app open briefly after logging. Watch quick-logs also queue to the phone when reachable.
How does progression coaching work?
As you log sets, LiftIron-HP estimates strength trends (including e1RM), suggests next targets, flags PRs, and can cue a deload when progress stalls. Use a starter template from Lifts or Today to get compound work in place.
What about calories, macros, and cardio?
Protein is the hero metric. Calories/macros appear when you log foods that include them. Manual cardio sessions can be logged for burn estimates — there is no GPS route tracking in LiftIron-HP.
Where is my data stored?
On your devices, with optional sync through your own Apple iCloud (CloudKit). We don’t run LiftIron-HP accounts or our own workout servers. See the Privacy Policy.
How do I delete data?
Delete individual food or workout entries in the app. To remove everything, delete the app and clear its iCloud data from your device’s iCloud settings if needed.
Didn’t find your answer?
Include your device, OS version, and what happened. Screenshots help.
