GainBlocks vs Meso

You train, but you can't tell if it's enough. GainBlocks makes it countable. Every muscle gets a weekly target in hard sets. Every hard set you log fills one block. Fill your board before Monday, on whatever days you train. A READY SESSION EVERY TIME Open the app and start the next session. GainBlocks builds your week from the days you train: full body, upper and lower, or push, pull and legs. Same lifts in the same order, with sets, weight and reps, so you can beat last time. NO FIXED DAYS TO FALL BEHIND ON A session is never tied to a weekday and there are no missed workouts. Just blocks still open. Train Tuesday and Saturday or five days straight; the board keeps score either way. A TARGET FOR EVERY MUSCLE Tell it how often you train and which muscles you want to bring up. GainBlocks sets a weekly number for chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs and abs, with extra work where you asked for it. ONE SET CAN FILL MORE THAN ONE ROW A bench press fills a chest block and adds half a block to shoulders and triceps. You see where your week is ahead and where it is behind. IT REMEMBERS YOUR NUMBERS Open an exercise and you see what you did last time and what to take today. Beat it and the next target moves up. LOCK IN BEFORE EVERY SET Hold to lock in, then give the set everything. Log your reps, say how much you had left, and the block lands. OR DO YOUR OWN THING Tap any muscle on the board and train that instead. It all counts. Short on time? Say how long you have and GainBlocks lines up the exercises that close the biggest gaps. RECORDS GET THEIR MOMENT A new best gets a plate slam and your number in yellow. Free. No trial, no subscription, no ads. No social feed. Your training data stays in your account.

You train; Meso keeps count. Meso is the gym version of your coach's spreadsheet: the same grid of sessions and weeks, the same words (tonnage, RIR, F for failure) and what a spreadsheet can't give you on the gym floor — what's on today, every set pre-filled with last time, and a reading of whether the block is moving. TODAY • Which session is due this week, with each exercise's prescription (sets × reps, target RIR). What you did last time waits in the workout, where you use it. • Start it in one tap. Deloads and the end of the block are announced, never sprung on you. THE WORKOUT • One line per set: load, reps, RIR, tick. Two taps per set is the goal. • Pre-filled from your best recent session of the same exercise (a deload never drags it down). After every set, the open sets follow it at their own reps and RIR; the ones you changed by hand stay as you left them. • Warm-up sets at 40/60/80 % that never count. Substitute an exercise by muscle. Bodyweight and cardio rows without meaningless numbers. • Notes per exercise and per session. Resume where you were after a pause or a restart. PROGRESS • The grid: exercise × week, with tonnage and the change against the same exercise, never against a substitute. • Effort as RIR (reps in reserve). "F" means to failure and is kept apart from an estimated 0. THE PROGRAMME • Type a block in your coach's notation (reps, ranges or pyramids like 12-10-8-8, blocks like 1×6 + 2×10, sets to failure, rest-pause, supersets, RIR per week or per set) or start from a template: full body ×3, upper/lower ×4, push/pull/legs ×6. • Paste a block from Apple Notes, or the cells of your Excel or Numbers sheet, and Meso reads it. If a row doesn't add up, it tells you why instead of guessing. • When the block ends, Meso offers a deload week with the loads already brought down. • Next block from this one, with the ramp carried over and the loads already there. LEARN • Every rule Meso applies comes with its source and its grade of evidence (solid, probable, disputed): RIR, volume, progression, deloads, cycles. What Meso does not do, and why, is written down too. MESO PRO — ONE PURCHASE, FOR GOOD Meso is free, and the whole training loop is free: the programme, templates, Today, the workout with pre-fill and warm-ups, history, the next block, Learn, the Progress grid and Apple Health. Meso Pro is a single purchase — no subscription, shared with your family — and adds: • Progress by week (volume per muscle against the 10–20 band, hard sets) and by exercise (e1RM and tonnage over time, across blocks). • Send the week to your coach as text, or the whole block as CSV. • The next step: before the first set, more reps or more load from last time (double progression), with "Apply" and "Why?". • The RIR check when a set doesn't add up, gyms with bar and plates ("60 = 20 + 2×(20)") and the block summary. • Four more colour themes, each in light and dark. Try it free for 30 days first, once per Apple ID. Nothing is charged: when the month ends the Pro features close again, and whatever you created with them stays yours. PRIVATE No account, no ads. Anonymous usage statistics of our own (how blocks are created and how sessions end, never your exercises, loads or notes), which you can turn off in Settings. Your programmes and sessions stay on your device and in your own iCloud. Apple Health is write-only and off by default. No streaks, no confetti, no guilt for a missed day. Progress is measured in blocks, not days. There is also an optional tip jar. It unlocks nothing. English, Spanish and French. Kilograms or pounds.
