Features
One board, filtered down to the comparison that matters to you
Not four separate leaderboard products bolted together. One board that filters by what you want to compare and who you want to compare against, built from the training, nutrition, and health data you already log.
One board, not four
MuscleBuddy used to run Overall, Training, Nutrition, and Health as four separate boards off four separate endpoints, each with its own empty state. That made them read like four products instead of four facets of one figure. The unified board filters instead: pick a pillar and an attribute, and the ranking reflects it.
Below that filtered board sit two things scored differently on purpose. XP and level run as their own board, because XP is a different quantity from the composite avatar rank, not a facet of it. Muscle ranks get their own diagram: chest, biceps, triceps, forearms, quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, abs, traps, and the front, side, and rear delts and lats, erectors, and mid-back scored separately, because "shoulders" and "back" hide too much to be one number.
Scope it to global, your followers, or your gym
Every board narrows. Global is the default, ranked against everyone. Narrow it to the people you follow and you get a peer group you actually assembled, worth more than a global board you'll never crack. If you train at home, you can narrow to other home-gym lifters in your area, and that board only appears once enough people are on it that nobody is identifiable from it alone.
Rank by XP, by volume lifted, by PR count, or by nutrition consistency, and switch between them without leaving the page. A gym org runs its own internal leaderboard for member competitions, scoped the same way a coach or gym-owner challenge is.
Where the numbers come from
XP comes from verified events: a finished workout, a full day of food logged, a PR, a check-in, a challenge completed. Muscle ranks weigh training frequency over the last twelve weeks, volume relative to your body weight, and whether the lifts that hit that muscle are actually progressing. Nutrition ranks work the same way across six dimensions: overall nutrition, protein, supplement consistency, body composition, health tracking, and micronutrient coverage.
Nothing here is granted for opening the app. A board only moves when something you did produced the number behind it, which is also why the position never has to be explained to you: it's the same math on every board, and it's the same math whether you're looking at your own row or someone else's.
The lowest rank stays on the board
A leaderboard that quietly drops its bottom half isn't honest about what training looks like most of the time. MuscleBuddy doesn't hide, floor, or filter out the lowest position: everyone who's opted into a board is on it, wherever their numbers put them. Your position updates the way everyone else's does, off the same rule.
Ranks are shown, not private by default: you choose your display name (real name, a handle, or nothing recognizable) and you can leave any leaderboard entirely, but a leaderboard your ranks appear on shows the full range that's actually training, not a curated top slice.
Reads across all four modules
Training and nutrition ranks read your workout and food logs directly. Health-tagged boards and challenge shelves draw on the same check-in and panel data your health rank already uses. Upkeep doesn't have its own board today, but the same event pipeline that awards XP off a workout, food log, weigh-in, or check-in is what every board on this page reads from, whichever module the activity came out of.
Your avatar is the character sheet that ties the boards together: the same attributes that place you on a board are the ones rendered on your figure, so a board position and your own profile never tell two different stories.
Frequently asked
- Is there one leaderboard or several?
- One board that filters by pillar, attribute, and metric, plus a separate XP/level board and a dedicated muscle-rank diagram. It replaced four separate boards that used to exist as four different products.
- Can I compare myself only to people I actually know?
- Yes. Narrow any board from global down to the people you follow, or to other home-gym lifters near you once enough of them are on the board to stay anonymous as a group.
- How are muscle ranks calculated?
- Training frequency over the last twelve weeks, training volume relative to your body weight, and whether the lifts that train that muscle are progressing. The same three signals score every muscle separately.
- Does the leaderboard hide people with a low rank?
- No. Every board shows the full range of people who have opted in, including the lowest position. It is never trimmed to a top slice.
- Can I keep my real name off the board?
- Yes. Your display name is yours to set, real name, a handle, or nothing identifiable, and you can leave any leaderboard entirely from your privacy settings.
