Comparison
BulkUp vs Hevy: build your log, or import your plan?
Hevy is one of the most popular workout trackers out there — a polished, free gym log with routines, progress charts and a social feed. If you build your own routines from scratch, it's a strong choice.
BulkUp starts from a different place: most people with a coach already have a plan — as a PDF or a photo. BulkUp imports that file and turns it into your trackable program, then adds the diet side of coaching that pure gym logs skip.
