## What is GymRec?

Build your training program from your 1RM — automatically.

GymRec calculates evidence-based programs from your 1RM (one-rep max): Smolov Jr, Wendler 5/3/1, PPL, GZCL, nSuns, PHUL, PHAT, German Volume Training, and more. No more spreadsheets — every session tells you exactly what weight to lift and how many reps to hit.

Perfect for you if:
• You want to run 5/3/1 or PPL directly in an app
• You're tired of managing a training spreadsheet
• You want precise weights based on your 1RM every session
• You want to see your progress on a graph
• You want to keep each other going by sharing workouts with friends

Programs Included — all auto-generated from your 1RM
•Full Body (choose 2–3 days/week)
•Upper/Lower split (upper body / lower body)
•3-Day Split (Chest/Back/Legs)
•5-Day Split
• Smolov Jr — bench press / squat peaking specialist
• Wendler 5/3/1 — classic strength program (BBB included)
• PPL — 6-day push/pull/legs split
• 5×5 — simple beginner strength routine
• GZCL — T1/T2/T3 three-tier system
• nSuns 5/3/1 — high-volume variation

• PHAT — Layne Norton's high-frequency system
• German Volume Training (GVT) — 10×10 hypertrophy
• Texas Method — intermediate weekly PR system
• Linear Progression — Starting Strength method

Nutrition and recovery guides included with every program. Auto-optimized for your equipment (barbell, dumbbell, machine, cable, or bodyweight).
