Hey there,
My name is Kyle and I run Lift Vault!
I started Lift Vault in 2016 when I became frustrated at how difficult it could be to find spreadsheets for powerlifting programs.
Since then, the site has become an archive for over 100 different powerlifting, bodybuilding, strength training, powerbuilding, and running (yes, even running) programs.
It was a labor of love and a chance to do something nerdy with my passion for powerlifting.
Since then, the site has expanded to also include supplement reviews and even a constantly updated list of powerlifting meets around the USA.
Basically, I’m trying to build the site that I wanted when I started lifting.
If you’re new here, check out the Lift Vault Guide. It’s pretty much the quick start guide for the site.
Where do the Spreadsheets Come From?
The spreadsheets you see here are usually shared publicly on other people’s sites or forums like Reddit.
Whenever possible, I seek to provide attribution to the program authors, the spreadsheet creator (if different), and link out to any relevant pages to promote the folks that make it all happen.
Free vs. Paid Programs
None of the spreadsheets on Lift Vault are for paid programs.
If you believe there is a spreadsheet on here that should be removed, please let me know.
I’m an experienced enthusiast, but not a medical expert
While I always try to provide the best information on Lift Vault, I am not an expert in exercise science or nutrition. The advice you’ll find on Lift Vault is generalized, not necessarily specific to you.
I am a regular guy that trains several times a week, competes in powerlifting, and enjoys keeping up on developments in nutritional supplements.
In fact, in 2024 I started a supplement review site called Label Rater. It combines powerful product discovery tools with real user reviews to make it easy to find your next favorite nutritional supplement.

Feedback? Let me know!
I want Lift Vault to be the largest, most useful repository of free lifting programs available.
If you have any feedback on how the site could be improved, please let me know via /r/LiftVault or email.
To your continued gains,
Kyle Risley
