Where Hevy is better
- More languages: 16 against GymVim's 9.
- A social feed where you follow friends' lifts and copy their routines. GymVim has private groups with a shared goal instead, and dares you send as a link.
- One-rep-max calculation for every strength exercise. GymVim doesn't estimate 1RM yet.
