apps i built

i have always had a weak body. lifting heavy never came naturally to me. progress was slow, and most days it felt like nothing was changing.

i tried many fitness apps. some were too complicated. some charged too much. some were full of ads. none of them actually helped me stay consistent. i didn’t need features. i needed something simple that would push me to keep going.

so i built my own. it’s called elevatepr.fit. i have been using it for the last 6 months. during this time, i gained 10kg, became stronger, and now i am close to breaking my pr almost every week.

lifting 200kg (440lb) leg press for the first time

above, i'm lifting 200kg (440lb) leg press, for the first time. i couldn't even lift 100kg before.

as you can see in the chart, every week i'm trying to beat my pr. and when i do, the chart grow.

this is how i became stronger, by breaking the pr with charts, it creates pyschological trigger in your brain to brake it.

the idea is simple. clean ui. no distractions. just log your lifts and watch your chart grow. seeing that progress changed my mindset. it made me more consistent, more patient, and more focused on long-term growth.

i always wanted to read books. every founder and person i admired talked about reading. but i could never stay consistent. i would start a book with excitement, read for a few days, then slowly stop. weeks passed, and the book stayed unfinished.

the problem was not time. it was motivation. there was no system, no progress, no feeling of movement. i tried different apps, but they felt boring or complicated. they did not make reading feel real. it always felt like i was reading alone.

so i built something for myself. it started as a selfish project. a simple place where i could track what i was reading and see my progress. that is how booksofme.com. was born.

today it is more than a tracker. it is your public reading identity. your personal library, your progress, and your mindset in one place. you can even share your profile and let others see your journey. this is mine → booksofme.com/xrahman

the idea is simple. when you see your progress, you stay consistent. when your journey is visible, you take it seriously. reading stops being a task. it becomes part of who you are.

this is not just about books. it is about becoming the person you want to become. one page, one day, one book at a time.
