DCFT

DCFT is the workout planner and personal coach for dual cable machines, also known as functional trainers or cable crossover stations. It turns your home gym into a complete strength training programme. Two cable towers or just one: DCFT plans with what you have. BUILT AROUND YOUR EQUIPMENT Tell DCFT what you have: number of plates, plate weight, cable ratio (for example 2:1), bench, single handles, long bar, rope, ankle cuffs or a pull-up assist band. Every plan uses exactly that, and the app shows you which plate to set the pin at for every set. No maths at the machine. Works in kg and lb. FITNESS CHECK FOR YOUR STARTING WEIGHTS A short test per movement pattern (push, pull, legs, core) works out your starting weights, so your very first cable workout already feels right. A PLAN FOR EVERY GOAL β€’ Build muscle β€’ Get stronger β€’ Get fitter and lose weight β€’ Stay healthy and mobile at 50, 60 or 70+ Pick your training days and session length, from a 20 minute workout to a full session. Beginners start with two simple full body workouts. COACHING DURING THE WORKOUT β€’ Warm-up sets, rest timer and supersets β€’ Progressive overload: the weight goes up when you are ready β€’ Deload weeks, plateau help and a daily readiness check β€’ Swap an exercise or tell the app that something hurts β€’ Clear setup line: pulley height, attachment and pin position 195 EXERCISES, PLUS 10 FOR WARM-UP AND STRETCHING Chest press, cable row, lat pulldown, face pull, cable fly, squat, Romanian deadlift, Pallof press, woodchop and many more, each with an animated figure and coaching tips.
