## What is Block?

Most training apps hand you the same program as everyone else. Block builds
yours around a goal you name, then adjusts it as you train.

Tell Block what you want to hit and when — a 315 squat by March, a first
pull-up, a 5K under 25 minutes. It builds a full periodized macrocycle to get
you there: phases, progressive overload, and planned deloads, laid out week by
week so you always know where the current session fits in the larger plan.

HOW IT WORKS

Tell Block: AI Fitness Planner what you're training for: a back squat 1RM, a sprint time, a pull-up max, or any measurable goal with a target date. Your coach designs a full multi-week training cycle around it, with proper periodization - progressive overload, planned deloads, and dedicated test weeks to check your progress.

Each week unlocks with a fully detailed set of workouts and exercises. Log what you actually do - sets, reps, weight, time, or effort, depending on the movement - and your coach reads it before building the next week. Missed a session? Flagged some knee pain? Crushed your top set? Next week adjusts accordingly instead of blindly marching through a fixed program.

BUILT ON REAL COACHING PRINCIPLES

Genuine periodization: volume and intensity progress deliberately across a training block, with deloads and test weeks built in, not bolted on.
Adapts to you: Block Fitness AI reads last week's logged performance, perceived effort, and notes before writing your next week.
Realistic goal-setting: if a target is a physiological stretch, Block designs toward the strongest realistic outcome and tells you plainly, rather than pretending an unrealistic number is the real plan.
Talk to your coach: chat directly to adjust your plan, a week, a workout, or a single exercise - swap a movement, change the load, or shift a training day - and get a plan update immediately.
Track what actually matters: every exercise logs the right thing automatically - weight and reps for lifts, time for sprints and intervals, or just rep count for max-effort tests.
Equipment guidance: get specific gear or service recommendations tied to whatever you're actually training for.
Your units, your way: switch between pounds and kilograms any time.
Never miss a new week: an optional weekly reminder lets you know the moment your next block of training unlocks.

WHO IT'S FOR

Block: AI Fitness Planner is built for anyone training toward a specific, measurable outcome - lifters chasing a new 1RM, athletes with a testing date, or anyone who wants their training plan to actually respond to how their training is going, instead of a static PDF or spreadsheet.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

Regenerate a week: not feeling your plan? Ask your coach to rebuild the week, and optionally tell it what to change. Workouts you've already logged stay as they are.
Warm-up sets: heavy barbell lifts now include ramp-up sets, so you know exactly how to build up to your working weight.
Clearer weights: your coach now prescribes an actual weight based on what you've lifted before, rather than percentages to work out yourself.
Smarter coach chat: your coach remembers the conversation in each chat, and a new "New chat" button lets you start fresh.
Simpler set logging: the reps field now holds a single number. Rep ranges and "per side" instructions appear in the exercise notes, and the "Last time" summary is easier to read.
Improved intro tour: the walkthrough now scrolls to and highlights each feature it describes.
