## What is PROTOCOL?

Stop guessing. Start tracking. PROTOCOL is the training app built for lifters who actually care about progress.

Every set. Every rep. Every PR. Logged and analyzed - so you never wonder if you're getting stronger. You'll know.

WHY ATHLETES SWITCH TO PROTOCOL:

WORKOUT LOGGING THAT DOESN'T SUCK
Log sets, reps, and weight in seconds - not minutes. Auto-detects personal records the moment you hit them. Tracks volume, intensity, and frequency across every muscle group.

SLEEP & RECOVERY TRACKING
Daily check-ins for sleep quality, energy, soreness, and mood. See how your recovery impacts your lifts with smart analytics. Wake up with built-in alarm challenges that actually get you out of bed.

SUPPLEMENTS ON AUTOPILOT
Build custom supplement stacks. Get timed reminders so you never miss a dose. Track what you take and when - finally.

INSIGHTS THAT MATTER
Beautiful charts and analytics across all your data. Weekly summaries. PR timelines. Volume trends. See patterns you'd never catch on your own.

CARDIO & BEYOND
Log runs, cycling, swimming, rowing, and more. Track duration, distance, and calories - all in one place alongside your lifting data.
