MH Physique is a hypertrophy coaching app built on Menno Henselmans' evidence-based methodology. Unlike other muscle building apps, it builds your plan and updates training and nutrition targets weekly from your real performance, recovery, and adherence data. Training and Nutrition That Actually Work Together Most hypertrophy apps adjust your training. MH Physique adjusts both. When your training load increases, your nutrition targets update. When recovery drops, volume is reduced. Every weekly check-in feeds both systems so training and nutrition stay aligned, not split across separate apps. Evidence-Based Progression, Not Templates Every recommendation is built on Menno Henselmans' real coaching models: evidence-based volume landmarks, performance-driven progression, and recovery-informed intensity management. Volume and intensity adjust automatically based on your results. If you progress well, training stress increases. If performance drops, the system adjusts before a plateau sets in. You approve changes and can adjust anything. The system handles calculations, not decisions. What the App Does for You - Personalised training and nutrition plan built from your schedule, training level, goal, frequency, appetite, stress, sleep, lifestyle, and equipment. - Volume and intensity adjust automatically based on your performance and recovery. Training stress increases when you progress, reduces when you stall. - Reactive deload suggestions when performance and fatigue data show you need a break. You choose whether to apply it. - Plateau-breaking logic. When progress stalls the app adjusts volume, intensity, rep schemes, or exercise selection. - Training plan customisation. Add or remove days, change your split, swap exercises, adjust order, and set your exact equipment including specific machines. - Workout logging with set history and performance trends. With per-session notes. - Progress graphs for load, volume, and performance per exercise and muscle group over time. - Nutrition plan synced to your training load. Macros and calories update weekly from performance and body composition data. - Meal plan generator with full weekly or monthly plans from the recipe library, matched to your macros with exact ingredient amounts. - Body composition tracking for bodyweight, skinfolds, or waist measurements with long-term trend data. - Flexible nutrition. Choose fixed macros or min and max ranges to fit your lifestyle. - Optional nutrition logging. Use Quick Macros, log externally, or turn tracking off without breaking the coaching logic. - Barcode scanner to pull in macros from common food products instantly. AI label scanner. Point your camera at any nutrition label, take three photos, and the app reads and logs all macros and nutritional data automatically. - Weekly check-in reviewing training, nutrition, and adherence — used to update your plan for the next week. - Exercise library with detailed instructions and demo videos. Add unlimited custom exercises and machines. - Community access to connect with other evidence-based lifters using the same system. Built for Lifters Who Care About Being Right MH Physique is not built for casual gym-goers. It is built for lifters who train 3 to 7 times per week, track their sets, and care about being right. If you are tired of static programs, spreadsheets that need constant updates, or muscle building apps that handle training but ignore nutrition, this is built for you. The system handles progression, volume, deloads, and macros. You train. You approve. You stay in control. Start with a 14-Day Free Trial Run your first complete training week to see how training and nutrition work together as one system. After your 14-day free trial, your subscription auto-renews at the listed Monthly or Yearly price unless cancelled. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Subscription required for full access.
