When adding equipment, there are a few things that you want to do to make sure you’re properly adding your lifts.

Follow this guide while creating new lifts, or you can fill out the form here as you go.

In this step, name the lift. It’s best to name it something unique or that will help you remember this lift. Feel free to put a store name, bay number, or anything else that helps.
