You train hard and still don't see it. Not because you're lazy — because you try to grow everything at once. Do that, and no muscle gets enough to actually grow. GainBlocks fixes that. Pick a few areas you want to bring up, and it builds a 12-week Block that puts the real work there — while the rest stays trained. Then Auto-Progression picks every set for you — weight, reps and rest — session after session, until those areas finally change. FOCUS WHAT YOU CAN GROW Tell it how often you train — 2 to 6 days — and how long your sessions are. GainBlocks shows how many areas your week can actually grow, and builds your Block around them. Chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs — you choose, it does the math. 12-WEEK BLOCKS One Block. Twelve weeks. Real change in the areas you picked. The rest of your body keeps training, so nothing slides back. When the Block ends, move your focus somewhere new. AUTO-PROGRESSION PICKS EVERY SET After every set you log, GainBlocks reads your weight, reps, and how hard it felt. Next session it tells you exactly what to do — weight, reps and rest — a little heavier as you get stronger. No spreadsheets. No guessing at the rack. IT EASES OFF BEFORE YOU STALL When it sees fatigue building, it gives you a lighter week before your numbers drop — then back to building. The easy week is part of the plan, not a setback. BUILT FOR THE GYM Every plan is built around full-gym training — barbells, dumbbells, machines and cables. Every exercise it picks is one you can do in a regular gym. ONE SCREEN, MID-SET Your set, target weight, reps, and rest timer — nothing else in the way. Log the set, see the next one, keep moving. Personal records flag on their own. SEE IT ADD UP Your weights climbing week over week. How much you train each muscle. A clear picture of what's working — proof you're growing, not just showing up. Your training data stays in your account. AI features need your consent. No ads. No social feed. Pick a few. Grow them. Then the next. SUBSCRIPTION GainBlocks offers an auto-renewable subscription.
