Allegiate Tech: Bridge - The App That Tracks Everything

WATCH HOW ALLEGIATE TRACKS YOUR ANALYTICS AND WHY WE DO IT EVERY TRAINING SESSION

Allegiate Head Coach and Co-founder, Tim Caron, breaks down Bridge.

Bridge Athletic is the app we use on the iPads attached to the squat racks. It tracks your wellness, weights, RPE, and everything program-related. There’s also a mobile app if you want to download it and see which workouts are on which day. Bridge shows whichever program you mainly participate in – Allegiate Strength or Allegiate Team.

The best way to use your data is to leverage how you feel in the weight room any given day. If your readiness isn’t at a perfect 5/5 because you’re stressed, or you didn’t sleep well, the goal shouldn’t be to push you past your limits. Injuries happen when you push your body when it least expects it. Lowering the weights to prevent injuries might be the best option for you that day to prevent injury.

On the other hand, if you’re at a perfect 5/5 readiness then maybe the best option for you is to increase the weight and push yourself a little bit more.

Overall, the goal is for you to be able to train at least 3x per week, injury free, and with incremental improvements being made week after week, month after month, and year after year. At Allegiate, we want you to train smarter and safely using scientifically proven methods and data driven analytics to make sure you can train at your best every single session.
