Ten questions route you into one of three proven tracks — matched to your experience, your schedule, your equipment. Every session lands with the lifts, the weight, and the sets already decided. Your coach reads the log, calls the stalls, and promotes you to intermediate programming when you've earned it.
The internet has infinite programs and zero memory of your numbers. This coach starts with ten questions, picks the one program that fits, and tracks every session until you outgrow it.
For true beginners. Three days a week, five sets of five on the big lifts, weight up every session. Starts at technique weight — you learn the movements before they're heavy.
For athletic beginners. The classic lifts plus power cleans for explosiveness — strength that carries onto the field, the court, or the mountain.
For intermediates who've stalled. Four-week training waves, submaximal percentages, AMRAP top sets. A program you can run for years — or graduate into, with training maxes computed from your actual numbers.
Every session logged to a spreadsheet your coach actually reads — volume trends, RPE creep, stall detection, PR alerts. The log is the coach's memory; without it, advice is guessing.
Send a photo or video of any lift and get 1–3 specific cues back. A coach's eyes on your set, without the $80-an-hour.
Outgrow the beginner track and get promoted — new program, new training maxes, computed from your actual numbers. That's the goal: to need the next program.
Choose a vibe at install. Switch any time — just ask. The personality is seasoning; the coaching is the meal.
Honest, direct, data over feelings — but never cold. Calls out excuses kindly and doesn't let them stand.
"The bar slowed on rep four. That's your last rep today — and that's exactly right."
Notices effort out loud and celebrates small wins specifically. Still honest about the data — never flattery.
"Six months ago you couldn't do one pull-up. Today you did eight. Read that again."
Theatrical, high-energy, relentless about showing up. The intensity lives in the personality — never in your programming.
"FIVE POUNDS. That's all we add today. And we will add it with PERFECT form, soldier."
No apps to download. No accounts to create. It installs into the assistant you already use — and gives it a persistent brain: your history saved as files that load into every chat, wherever you go in your Muse app.

Free programs are fine — until you stall, get busy, or your gym has no barbell. They can't see your log, call your plateau, shrink to a 30-minute Express cut, or promote you to intermediate programming with training maxes from your numbers. You don't need a better program. You need a program that knows you.
It'll answer — and forget your numbers by next session. No persistent training log, no stall detection across weeks, no graduation. This pack gives the same assistant a memory and a method: your history, read every week, with a deload protocol when you stall and a promotion when you've earned it.
No. The onboarding asks about your real week — including the worst ones — and the Express cuts shrink sessions to 30 minutes when life does. Consistency beats optimal; the coach programs for the schedule you have, not the one you wish for.
Almost certainly Track 1 (5×5 Linear) — unless your goal is athleticism, which routes you to Track 2. Both start with technique weight, so you'll learn the movements before they get heavy.
Yes — you'll get the Express cut of your track: main lifts only, same progression. The onboarding asks about your time honestly, and the coach programs for it instead of pretending you have an hour.
Yes — there's a dumbbell/bodyweight variant that runs your track's logic with swapped movements. Fair warning from your coach: a barbell is the single highest-ROI purchase in strength training.
That's the best part. Your coach detects stalls from your training log, runs the deload protocol — and when you've genuinely outgrown the beginner track, graduates you to Wave Progression with training maxes computed from your numbers.
