A very good website, as a fellow interested in bodybuilding and powerlifting, I liked it a lot.

Can I ask you if you gave any thought monetizing it? If yes, what is it?

Thanks for the positive feedback. It would be great to monetize Strength Level, to fund further development and expand its capabilities. We have two ideas at the moment:

1. iPhone app - people want to rate lifts at the gym

2. Premium accounts - see workouts older than 6 months/personalised recommendations

If you could add the training age as well as some additional information (height, approximate bf%, outside stress level, recovery factors, training time) as potential details you could have a serious case for recommending training programs to people. It's one of the good uses of collective intelligence to benefit the community I've always wanted, but never found the time, to implement.
We would love to provide that kind of guidance. By training age, do you mean age of user?
Training age usually refers to numbers of years of serious training. However age of user would matter as well.
