Povver: Strength Coach

Tells you what to lift next. Shows why. Povver is a strength coach for iOS. It reads every set you log, counts hard sets per muscle against the volume that muscle needs, and raises the load when it is earned. The reason is on screen with the prescription. WHAT YOU GET • Automatic progressive overload: five conditions per increase, capped at your usual step. • Hard sets per muscle, per week: ten muscle groups, each against its own range. • Plateau detection: three flat weeks on your best set, not a bad day. • Program generation: built to landmarks, with the first deload dated. • Mid-session changes: swaps and drop sets while you train. • Claude and any assistant: read and write access to your own data over MCP. HOW IT DECIDES Hard sets per muscle, per week. Working sets finished at RIR 3 or fewer, ten muscles, each against its own range. Compounds credited to the muscles doing the work. Five conditions before a load moves. Three sessions at the weight, two on machines. Last set at RIR 0 to 2, 0 to 3 on machines. Top of the rep range. Sets completed. At most one failed increase in four weeks. The step is the one you already use on that lift. A plateau is three flat weeks. A line through your best set on each lift over six weeks. One bad session is not a plateau. Every change carries its reason. Loads raised where they were earned, with the sessions that earned them. Every number comes from a set you logged. DURING A SESSION • Swap a lift: same muscles. • Drop set or back-off set, added mid-session. • Injury-aware coaching: tell it about a shoulder once. It stays out of your program and out of the swaps. • Scheduled deloads: the first deload is dated when your program is built, and moves when your training says so. • Log sets fast: weight, reps and RIR in a grid, with last session's numbers already in the row. YOUR TRAINING, IN ANY ASSISTANT Povver runs an MCP server. Claude, or any assistant you use, reaches your account with your permission and works on the same data the app does. It can read every set, per-lift trends and muscle volume, and write routines, templates, workouts and periodization plans. Your workout data is not used to train AI models. Not by us, and not by our providers. Povver is a paid strength training app, with a 14-day free trial. The trial includes everything: logging, analysis, progression and the coach.
