Loaded carry is a real mode.
The load is per implement per side. The distance is the full carry. The time is the elapsed clock. The receipt row reads 225 × 40 m (1:12) and the volume math knows it was a carry, not a press.
For the strongman athlete
Yokes, sleds, carries, atlas stones — modeled.
A loaded-carry mode captures load-per-side, distance, and time on every farmer's walk and yoke run. Eight strongman implements — sled, yoke, farmer's handle, sandbag, atlas stone, log, axle, frame — each with its own icon in the picker. And three new ways to set a personal record — AMRAP, fastest time for a distance, longest carry — so a six-minute frame-walk PR doesn't end up in a notes app.
Where flexRep meets you.
Strongman is event-based, mixed-modality, and dominated by formats that don't fit a weight-times-reps cell. flexRep added the modes the events need — and the new ways to set a PR that go with them — without bolting on a separate "strongman tab."
Three PR types that aren't weight-and-reps.
AMRAP — most reps inside a time cap, grouped in 30-second buckets. Time-for-distance — fastest time at a given distance, where lower is better, bucketed every five metres. Max-distance — your longest carry ever. The Records feed renders each one in its right format.
Eight strongman implements.
Sled, yoke, farmer's handle, sandbag, atlas stone, log, axle, frame — each with its own distinct icon so the picker is scannable. The plate calculator stays out of the way. A yoke isn't a bar.
225 lb / side · 40 m · 1:12.
The receipt row reads load × distance, duration in parentheses. The PR feed shows the same set two ways — as a strength PR (heaviest load at that distance) and as a conditioning PR (fastest time at that load). The muscle math knows it was a carry, not a press, and weights the credit accordingly.

Five features doing real work for you.
Out of the The Strongman Athlete's thirty-six daily features, these are the ones that earn their seat at the rack.
Loaded-carry input panel
Load entry with a "per side" label. Distance hero with 10 / 25 / 100 / 400 step buttons. Duration hero with second-precise steppers. Set type selector. Everything the event needs, nothing it doesn't.
See itAMRAP, time-for-distance, max-distance PRs
Three new PR families ride alongside weight-and-reps in the same Records feed. The AMRAP groups by 30-second cap; the time PR is bucketed every five metres; the time PR is lower-is-better, with the delta math to match.
See itEight strongman implements
Bundled equipment types with distinct icons. Picker chips include them automatically. Strongman implements default to a 10 lb (or 5 kg) increment so a small step actually feels small.
See itMade, missed, or touch-and-go
Stone-to-shoulder PR? It either went up or it didn't. A missed attempt doesn't establish a PR and doesn't fictionalize your strength curve — the baseline that scores is the baseline you actually completed.
See itSame Watch app, same export
No separate "strongman tab." The Watch logs a carry the same way it logs a bench press. The CSV export gains the carry columns and the new PR types automatically.
See itHow it stacks up for a strongman athlete
The category is mostly Excel sheets, federation portals, and gym-bag notebooks. flexRep is the first general-purpose strength logger that treats a yoke walk as something other than "an exercise without a weight column."

Refusals are also features.
- We don't fake a weight value for a sled push that wasn't loaded.
- We don't count a dropped stone as a load PR.
- We don't lock carry analytics behind a "Pro" tier.
- We don't ask you to log a carry as a "set of 1 rep."
