I was using a continuous conversation with chatgpt to keep track of my lifts, and then I realize it never understand what day I'm talking to it, like there is no consistency, it might as well be the date of the first message you sent

I think that’s exactly why they’re not including timestamps. If timestamps are shown in the UI users might expect some form of “time awareness” which it doesn’t quite have. Yes you can add it to the context but I imagine that might degrade other metrics.

Another possible reason is that they want to discourage users from using the product in a certain way (one big conversation) because that’s bad for content management.

What purpose does logging your lifting with chatgpt achieve?

[cj]

It’s an incredible tool for weightlifting. I use it all the time to analyze my workout logs that I copy/paste from Apple Notes.

Example prompts:

- “Modify my Push #2 routine to avoid aggravating my rotator cuff”

- “Summarize my progression over the past 2 months. What lifts are progressing and which are lagging? Suggest how to optimize training”

- “Are my legs hamstring or glute dominant? How should I adjust training”

- “Critique my training program and suggest optimizations”

That said, I would never log directly in ChatGPT since chats still feel ephemeral. Always log outside of ChatGPT and copy/paste the logs when needed for context.

You can also export to CSV and use that file in the chat if you’re using a tracking app like Hevy.

That's brilliant. I have an injury for a while now, and I change my routine on the fly at the gym, depending on whether I still feel pain or not. Much better if I change it before the next time I go, so I don't waste time figuring out what to replace.

I did this planning with Gemini and track in Google Sheets (really stinks for mobile)

Cardio goals, current FTP, days to train, injuries to avoid

3 lift day programs with tracking 8w progressive Loop my PT into warm ups

Alternate suggestions.

Use whole sheet to get an overview of how the last 8w went and then change things up

I ask it to continuously tell me when I break personal records and what muscle groups Ive been focusing on in the last day (and what exercises I should probably do next). It doesnt work super well at doing any of these except tracking PRs

presumably the same thing that logging anything with an LLM achieves : plain language into structured text quickly.

Seriously, there are AI-supported apps for this. Much better than the barebones, subpar web chat.
