Meet your AI Coach: ask training questions, log or adjust workouts by chat, and build your own program — right in the app. New: Texas Method and Heavy Light Medium (HLM) for when novice progression runs out, save your own variation of any template, and train straight from your Apple Watch.

PROGRAMS FOR WHEN YOU STOP ADDING WEIGHT
• Texas Method and Heavy Light Medium (HLM) built in for post-novice lifters, weights worked out for every session automatically
• Build your OWN program just by chatting with the AI Coach — "give me the Texas Method with rack pulls instead of deadlifts", "make my squats 5×5", "add chin-ups on day two" — it builds the whole week and tracks your progress from then on
• Save your own variation of any template and switch back any time
