Guides

Practical, transparent full-body training guides - grounded in the same coverage math the app uses.

How Many Sets Per Muscle Per Week?

The weekly set ranges the research supports, what counts as a set when an exercise only assists a muscle, and the ceiling on what one session delivers.

How Often Should You Train Each Muscle?

Training frequency research, plainly: once weekly volume is matched, how you spread it out barely changes growth. What frequency is actually for.

Full Body vs. Push/Pull/Legs for a Busy Week

Full body 2–3x a week vs. a 3-day push/pull/legs split - how they compare on missed workouts, time per session, and total weekly muscle coverage.

Free Workout Trackers: No Subscription

Which workout trackers are genuinely usable without paying - compared on what each free tier actually does, not on what its paid tier costs.

Hevy, Strong and JEFIT record what you lifted. Measured against 18 muscle groups, a log’s own chart calls ten of them empty when only two really are.

Muscle Heatmap Apps, and the Session They Cannot See

Muscle maps colour what you already trained. Read a complete session as a heatmap and 7 of 18 groups come out blank - every one of them on target.

Adductors and Abductors: Do You Need Them?

The two groups almost every routine skips and almost every lifter dismisses. What they actually do, what your programme gives them, and what closing it costs.
