Most lifters guess. They train the same muscles too soon, skip the ones that are ready, and wonder why progress stalls. MuscleReady removes the guesswork. Log a session in seconds and your body map updates instantly — green for recovered and ready to train, amber for still recovering, red for don't touch it today. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log your workout. Pick exercises, add your sets, save. Takes about fifteen seconds. 2. Your muscle map updates. Every muscle group you hit starts its recovery clock. 3. Open the app tomorrow and train what's green. BUILT ON REAL RECOVERY SCIENCE Recovery isn't the same for every muscle or every lifter. MuscleReady adjusts your recovery windows using your training experience, age, bodyweight, sleep, protein intake, and how hard you actually pushed the session — not a flat 48-hour rule. WHAT YOU GET • Live full-body recovery map, front and back • Per-muscle recovery timers so you know exactly when a group is ready • Insights that flag what to avoid today and what to train next • Neglected-muscle detection so nothing gets quietly skipped for weeks • Saved presets for the sessions you repeat • Training analytics — volume, streaks, and balance across muscle groups • A guided first session that gets you set up in a couple of minutes FOR LIFTERS WHO WANT STRUCTURE WITHOUT A SPREADSHEET Whether you run a push/pull/legs split, an upper/lower, or you just train whatever you feel like that day, MuscleReady tells you what your body is actually ready for. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account. No sign-up. No cloud. Everything stays on your device. Free to use.
