Health notice
The essentials
Vorlift is a training log. It is not a health professional, and its suggestions never replace medical advice.
What the app is not
Vorlift is not a medical device. It is not meant to diagnose, prevent, monitor or treat any disease or injury. It is not designed for use in an emergency.
Nor is it a coaching service: nobody watches your sessions, and nobody corrects your technique.
Where the suggestions come from
Load, rep and rest suggestions are computed from the numbers you enter yourself, and from nothing else.
The app does not know: your health, your medical history, your current treatments, the quality of your execution, your sleep, your nutrition, or how you feel if you do not tell it.
A suggestion is a hypothesis, not a prescription. You alone decide the load you put on the bar, and you alone can judge whether it is reasonable today.
Before you start
Ask a doctor before starting or resuming strength training, especially if any of these applies to you:
- you are over 40 and have been inactive for a long time;
- you have a known heart, respiratory, joint or blood-pressure condition;
- you are pregnant, or have recently given birth;
- you are recovering from an injury, surgery or illness;
- you take a treatment that may affect effort, balance or alertness;
- you feel pain during exercise, of any kind.
This list is not exhaustive. When in doubt, ask.
During the session
Stop immediately in case of chest pain, unusual shortness of breath, dizziness, faintness, or sharp localised pain. Seek medical attention without delay.
A load suggested by the app has no authority over how you feel right now. A lighter, shorter or cancelled session is an athlete's decision, not a failure — and the app is built to take it.
Technique and safety
Strength training carries a risk of injury when execution is poor, the load too heavy or progression too fast. Vorlift cannot see your execution and cannot correct it.
Learn the movements from someone competent, use equipment in good condition, and get a spotter on heavy loads.
Displayed estimates
Some displayed figures are computed estimates, not measurements: theoretical max, tonnage, energy expenditure. They serve to compare your sessions with each other, not to drive a health or nutrition decision.
Liability
By using Vorlift, you acknowledge that you train at your own risk. The publisher cannot be held liable for an injury or damage resulting from the use of the app or from following its suggestions.
