Great for progressing smart and fast" – Thibaud - "The standout feature is the progression cycles, generated automatically for every exercise." – Guillaume - "Since the update added the virtual coach, I've been progressing nonstop" – Loïc YOUR CUSTOM WORKOUT PLAN Tell the app your constraints, equipment, available time, and goals, and it builds your weightlifting program. Whether you train at a gym or at home, even with shoulder, elbow, or lower back pain, your plan fits your situation. You can update any part of it later without starting over. A REAL STRENGTH COACH A good program is a great start, but it's no substitute for real coaching. SP Training is built on the method of Rudy Coia, a French strength coach, author, and trainer: progression cycles. They're derived from powerlifting strength cycles (5x5, 5/3/1) and adapted for hypertrophy. For every exercise, every session, your coach tells you exactly what to do: sets, reps, weight, and rest. It's progressive overload, done for you. YOUR WORKOUT JOURNAL Prefer to build your own routine?
