Why I built this

A filmmaker who
trains.

I'm a film director and producer based in Los Angeles, represented by UTA and Rain. I've been making documentaries and narrative films since 2006 — and I've been training seriously since 2023, after I gained 50 lbs during the pandemic.

Today, I’m under 10% body fat, and my routine runs push/pull/legs/abs days, Barry's Bootcamp sessions, and pickleball with the Queer Pickleball Club in LA. For a while, I tracked all of my lifting in the notes app. Then I built something better.

Lift Log started as a personal tool. It became something I use every day — to log my weekly supersets, track my bench progress, keep an eye on my PRs. I opened it up to everyone, because the best tools are the ones you'd build for yourself. And if I could lose 50 lbs, so can you.

There's no subscription. No algorithm. No ads. Just your training, logged cleanly, and owned by you.
