The backend is a sprawl of three separate HTTP services: a legacy REST API (v1), a newer REST API (v2), and an Elasticsearch-backed search service. They share a JWT token but have different base URLs, different conventions, and different quirks. There&rsquo;s no unified CLI. If you want to poke at the API, you open Swagger, copy a Bearer token, and start curling.</p> https://bradleycarey.com/posts/strength-training-dashboard/ Sat, 28 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0500 https://bradleycarey.com/posts/strength-training-dashboard/ <p>I&rsquo;ve been tracking my workouts with <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxworkoutcoach.workouttrainer.workouttrainer&amp;hl=en_US" class="external-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the same Android app</a> for almost 7 years.

They&rsquo;re terrible at showing you the big picture. I wanted to answer questions like: how has my squat progressed over 6 years? When was my best training year? How consistent am I really? What does 6.8 million pounds even look like?</p>
