## Description

Stop guessing your training numbers. This MCP uses the 5x5 linear progression methodology to build structured, math-based strength programs. Instead of manually tracking every weight increase, you let your AI client handle the heavy lifting. It calculates your initial working weights based on your current maxes and manages the progression logic as you get stronger. If you hit a wall and fail your reps, the MCP evaluates your performance to decide if a deload is necessary to keep you moving forward. It also organizes your weekly training split by managing exercise rotations based on how often you can get to the gym. It's a precise way to run a strength program without the mental overhead of constant recalculation.

## Tools

### calculate_starting_weights
This tool finds your initial working weight for your first session. It uses your current lift data to set a safe baseline.

### evaluate_progression_failure
This tool checks if you should start a deload protocol. It looks at your failed reps to determine if you need to pull back.

### generate_training_program
This tool builds a full, multi-week strength plan. It handles the entire 5x5 structure for you.

### get_exercise_rotation
This tool organizes your weekly training split. It tells you which exercises to perform in what order.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a 5x5 program for a beginner who can train 3 days a week. My current lifts are Squat: 100kg, Bench: 60kg, Deadlift: 120kg.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your 5x5 Beginner Program is ready. You will train 3 days per week with a focus on Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. Your starting weights are Squat: 80kg, Bench: 48kg, and Deadlift: 96kg.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I've failed my Squat reps twice in a row. Should I deload?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, based on your recent performance, you should initiate a deload. We recommend reducing your weight by 10% for the next session to allow for recovery.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are my starting weights for an intermediate lifter with a 100kg Squat and 70kg Bench?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an intermediate level, your calculated starting weights are Squat: 90kg and Bench: 63kg.
```
