A prompt to try

Be my strength coach. Me: [age, height, training history, sessions per week, equipment, injuries]. This week, just log what I do. I'll message every set as 'exercise sets x reps @ weight, form X/10, notes'. After a week, assess where I'm underloading, then build a [3]-day split with a clear progression rule (add weight only when all sets are at least 8/10 form). Track my numbers, tell me the target for next session, and change the plan right away if I report pain. Ask me to film a lift when form matters.

Fill in anything in [brackets] before you send it. Anything that spends money, sends a message or signs something should stay behind your own approval.

How it went, step by step

  1. 01Week 1: train as normal and log every exercise, weight, set and rep. Don't change anything yet.
  2. 02Let the AI assess your baseline and test your real working weights.
  3. 03Follow the split and the rule: add weight only when every set had form you rate 8/10 or better.
  4. 04Log each set in real time with how it felt. Report any pain right away and film your form when it asks.
