# Pull-up Progression Planner MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Pull-up Progression Planner MCP acts as a specialized training engine for calisthenics. It bridges the gap between your current strength and your target repetition count by generating structured roadmaps, calculating weekly volume, and determining when you need mechanical assistance like resistance bands.

## Description

Stop guessing how many reps you need to do to hit your pull-up goals. This MCP provides the math and structure required to move from zero pull-ups to a specific target. Instead of following generic internet workouts, you get a plan built around your actual current strength and your desired timeline. 

You can use it to build a full training roadmap from scratch. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating exactly how much volume you need each week to progress without burning out. If you aren't strong enough for unassisted reps yet, the engine identifies exactly what kind of mechanical aid, such as bands, you should use at your current stage. It even checks your math to make sure you aren't setting unrealistic goals that could lead to injury or frustration. It's a direct way to turn a strength goal into a repeatable weekly schedule.

## Tools

### calculate_weekly_volume
Use this to find the specific repetition targets for any given week within your training plan.

### generate_progression_plan
This tool builds a complete, structured training roadmap that takes you from your current strength level to your target goal.

### get_assistance_requirement
This tool identifies the specific mechanical aid, like resistance bands, you need at your current strength stage.

### validate_progression_feasibility
This checks if your strength goals are actually realistic based on your current level and the time you have available.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I can do 0 pull-ups. I want to do 5 pull-ups in 8 weeks. Can you make a plan?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach 5 unassisted pull-ups in 8 weeks, your plan will focus on Scapular Pulls, Negative Pull-ups, and Banded Pull-ups to build the necessary foundation.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I can do 3 pull-ups. How many reps should I do in week 4 of a 10-week plan?
```

**Response:** 
```
In week 4 of your 10-week plan, your target is 12 repetitions with a moderate intensity level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it possible to go from 1 pull-up to 10 pull-ups in only 2 weeks?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, that goal is not feasible. A more realistic timeline for such a significant increase would be approximately 12 to 16 weeks.
```

## Capabilities

### Roadmap Generation
Your agent uses this to create a week-by-week training schedule.

### Volume Calculation
Your agent calculates specific rep targets for individual training weeks.

### Assistance Identification
Your agent determines if you need bands or other aids based on your current reps.

### Feasibility Checking
Your agent validates if your timeline and strength goals align.

## Use Cases

### Starting from Zero
Create a foundation using negative and banded pull-ups when you cannot yet perform a single rep.

### Volume Management
Determine exactly how many reps to perform in a specific week of a long-term plan.

### Goal Validation
Check if a specific strength jump is possible within your desired timeframe.

### Equipment Planning
Figure out which resistance bands are needed to support your current strength level.

## Benefits

- Removes guesswork from weekly repetition targets.
- Prevents unrealistic goal setting through feasibility checks.
- Identifies necessary mechanical aids for every training stage.
- Provides a structured path from current strength to target reps.
