Your estimated max for any snatch, clean & jerk or complex set.

Nosto's analysis screen for a lifter with a 112 kg snatch record: the snatch reading behind the lifter's other lifts and the 140 kg clean and jerk level with them, the loads they train at, readiness against sleep and heart-rate variability, make rate by load, where their training goes and the share of heavy work. Nosto's history screen: 36 sessions over the last three months on a calendar, the days that set a record outlined in green, the clean and jerk rising to a 140 kg record, weekly volume and session effort, and all-time totals of 116 sessions and 965 lifts. Nosto's training calendar for the year: every session from January to October shaded light, medium or heavy, the days that set a record outlined in green, a 39-week streak, 116 sessions and 2.9 a week over the last eight weeks.

Know what to work on.

Each competition lift against what your other lifts say it could be — and where your reps actually go.

Compare your results

Your snatch and clean & jerk against your other lifts, and the ratios between them.

Nosto's lifter potential page for a lifter with a 112 kg snatch: the snatch reads behind the lifter's other lifts, which put its estimated max (eRM) at 119 kg, 113 to 129, while the 140 kg clean and jerk reads level with them; below, the eRM range of the clean, jerk, both squats, overhead squat and snatch pull, each against the lifter's record. Nosto's load profile for the snatch over six months: the share of reps at each percentage of record for singles, doubles and triples, drawn against the typical sweet spot. Nosto's heavy work page for the snatch: the share of working reps at 80 percent of record or more over the last week, month, three and six months, 40, 27, 48 and 50 percent, with the reps per week under each, and the share week by week over three months.

One tap on the wrist per lift. Back comes every session — your heart rate, your readiness, your sleep — against what is usual for you.

A Nosto session on an Apple Watch: a dial reading 114 kg at 102 percent of record with a tick for the fifth lift, a live heart rate of 121, a rest ring, and the next planned step of 116 kg.
The Nosto start screen: the last session, 23 October, 38 percent heavy and 20 minutes long; its clean and jerk at 140 kg marked New PR and its jerk at 131 kg, 94 percent of record; a green record line, a new clean and jerk record of 140 kg, 5 percent on 133 kg; and the buttons to start a new session or open the session library. A Nosto session in progress: a snatch set planned to 106 percent of record with its estimated max, 114 kg, beside the target; heavy lifts made and missed with their rest, the two planned steps still to lift at 116 and 119 kg, and 114 kg on the dial with the next step of 116 kg beside it. A finished session's page: time in each heart-rate zone, then the readiness map, how the lifter felt each morning against sleep and heart-rate variability, with this session's morning outlined.

Make it happen.

Pick a focus and get a programme in your own kilos, or set the target and lay out each step yourself. Then the session runs it: the next step, the plates on the bar, the rest.

A Nosto session with the plate calculator open: 114 kg on the dial, the next step of 116 kg beside it, and the bar drawn below: a 20 kg bar loaded with a red 25, a blue 20 and a 2 kg change plate each side, with the bar and the collars to choose. Nosto's session builder asking what to focus on: position, strength, speed and rhythm, each saying what it trains and who it is for. The Snatch positions programme for a lifter with a 112 kg snatch: each set's steps as percentages of the record, worked out in kilos, with the set's estimated max beside its target, rest and a stop rule. A finished session's page, Friday 23 October: its highlights lead with a new clean and jerk record of 140 kg, 5 percent on 133 kg, then the week's tonnage 90 percent above usual and 32 lifts against a usual 22; below, the clean and jerk at 140 kg marked New PR and the jerk at 131 kg.

Built for weightlifting.

Complexes, start positions, every lift that builds the snatch and the clean and jerk, and the plates your gym actually has.

Nosto's Loads page: the empty bar, then the gym's plates to tap off when the gym does not have them: the 25, 20, 15 and 10 kg bumpers, the 5 and 2.5 kg bumpers with the 5 switched off, and change plates from 5 down to 0.5 kg. Nosto's New set page: warm-up and cooldown, and snatch, clean and jerk, squat and deadlift, each opening its own builder. A session made of complexes: a snatch from below the knee, the hang and the floor; two snatch balances and an overhead squat, the first snatch balance record; a snatch pull and a snatch; a clean, front squat and jerk — each with its working reps, share of heavy work, top weight and percentage of record. Building a complex in Nosto: two hang snatches plus an overhead squat, with all nine start positions open, the snatch type chosen, two reps selected, and the load row below.
