Another interesting thing in this space is Traindown[1]. It's simply Markdown for your exercises. As an example for those who need convincing to go to a link, this could be a simple workout:

  @ Mar 03 2024 08:00
  
  # Unit: kg
  # Bodyweight: 70
  
  Squat:
    40 12r
    65 8r 2s
    40 12r
  
  Assisted Pull Up:
    bw-20 12r
    bw-5 6r
    bw 2r

It's much more free-form than this, which is a bonus for me and allows me to track metadata such as weight, time of day I'm exercising at, or general mood/feeling about the workout. I can ultimately just take these plain markdown files from the app (I use a basic Android app that visualizes this Markdown[2]), import them and do whatever processing I like in Python.

Highly recommended!
