You don't have a strength coach. Dialed is the next best thing. Tell it your sport, position and season. Every week it builds you a 7-day lifting and conditioning plan, then adjusts it to how you actually slept and recovered. BUILT FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES Most high school athletes lift off a random PDF or copy what their teammates do. That's how you plateau or get hurt mid-season. Dialed plans around your practices, games and school load instead. HOW IT WORKS • 30-second daily check-in: sleep, energy, soreness, stress. It pre-fills from yesterday. • Readiness score (0 to 100) tells you whether today is a push day or a recovery day. • AI Gameprint: a full week of sport-specific sessions with sets, reps and the reason behind each one. • Log every set. Dialed suggests your next-set target using real progressive overload and runs your rest timer. • Weekly Debrief: an AI-written recap of your sleep, readiness, volume and PRs versus last week. • Weekly Optimization Score shows how consistent you were and where you lost points. FITS YOUR SCHEDULE • Off-season and in-season modes • Set recurring practices and lifts once • Your plan flags when your calendar changed and refreshes in one tap • Streak reminders so you don't lose a week of progress SPORTS Football, basketball, soccer, wrestling, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, track, swimming, tennis, golf, BJJ, MMA, powerlifting and more. FREE VS PRO Free: daily check-ins, readiness, workout logging, streaks and a sample Gameprint for your sport. Dialed Pro: your live, personalized AI Gameprint every week, Weekly Debriefs and full training analytics. $9.99/month or $49.99/year. Built by a student-athlete who didn't have a strength coach either. Terms of Use: https://dialedlog.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://dialedlog.com/privacy
