An RPE tracker built for powerlifting
RawLift lets you rate every set with RPE or reps in reserve in one tap, free. Each rated set updates a live estimated 1RM for squat, bench and deadlift, shows the set it came from, and keeps warm-ups out of your numbers. A grinder and an easy triple never count the same.
Rate a set in one tap
After each set RawLift shows the RPE chips 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5 and 10, or, if you prefer reps in reserve, 4+, 3, 2, 1 and 0. Tap one and the set is rated. Mark a set as a warm-up and it stays in your log but out of every statistic.
What RawLift does with your RPE
- A live estimated max. Each rated set is turned into an estimated 1RM: reps plus reps in reserve on the Epley curve. Your current max is the best session of the last six weeks, with the set it came from and a confidence level. The math is the same as in the 1RM calculator.
- Your total. Squat, bench and deadlift add up to your total on the first screen, from tested, meet or estimated maxes, kept apart so you always know which is which.
- Honest charts. Warm-ups, sets below RPE 6 and sets worth more than 10 reps never move your estimated max.
- Your next weight. Hit the top of your rep range on every set and RawLift adds weight next session. Stall four sessions in a row and it suggests a deload.
RPE or RIR?
Both describe how close a set was to failure. RPE adds half steps, which helps with heavy singles; RIR is easier to learn. RawLift stores one number, so you can change your mind later. The full comparison is in RPE vs RIR for powerlifting, and the loads for any reps at any RPE are in the RPE calculator.

Questions
Is RPE logging free in RawLift?
Yes. Rating sets with RPE or reps in reserve, the estimated 1RM it feeds, your total and your history are free for good. Pro adds coaching features such as the weekly coach and the meet planner.
Can I log RIR instead of RPE?
Yes. Pick reps in reserve in settings and every rating shows as 4+, 3, 2, 1 or 0 reps left. RawLift stores both the same way (RIR = 10 − RPE), so you can switch at any time without changing your history.
Which sets count toward my estimated max?
Work sets from the last six weeks with at most 10 effective reps (reps plus reps in reserve). Warm-ups never count, and sets rated below RPE 6 are too far from failure to estimate from. RawLift shows which set the estimate came from and how confident it is.
Do I have to rate every set?
No. Unrated sets are logged as usual and are treated as all-out when they feed an estimate. Rating at least your top sets makes the estimate much more honest.
How does RawLift pick my next weight?
Each exercise has a rep range. When you hit the top of it on every planned set, RawLift adds your increment next session; otherwise it repeats the last session. If the top weight stalls for four sessions in a row, it suggests a deload to about 90 %.
