As other folks have noted, this is a nice web app, but not well-suited for coming up with a real training plan that meets an individual's health goals.
For my own personal goals, I've enjoyed/had success with doing variations of Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 workout for roughly a decade, and recently made a simple (and much, much uglier) web app [1] to record my lifts, suggest one-rep max targets, calculate weight for each set, etc. It's not nearly as flexible as the tool in this post (built mostly for 5/3/1 + power lifts) and doesn't have any options except self-hosting (for now), but one can specify their full routine in a JSON-formatted config, and then do their routine.

- weakfish 3y agoI'm a huge 5/3/1 fan and have been thinking of building my own version of this! Would you be open to contributions, instead? I'd love to at least add some design to the front-end
- abound 3y agoDefinitely open to contributions, but I'll note that the barebones nature is mostly by design. I'm happy to take any usability improvements (of which I can imagine many!), but I don't want to introduce dependencies on design/component frameworks or even CSS libraries. Generally, all the content for a day's lifts should fit on a single small mobile phone screen to make it dead simple to record a lift and then get to the next one. Feel free to email me (address is on website in profile) or open an issue on the repo with ideas/requests, happy to chat more.
- weakfish 3y agoFor sure, I agree - not a fan of bloated N-million JavaScript library front-ends. I was just thinking bare CSS that does some little visual niceties. Will follow up on GH. Thanks!
