## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for strength athletes to measure Time Under Tension (TUT). By inputting repetition tempo (eccentric, pause, and concentric phases) and rep counts, users can use `calculate_set_tut` to find total duration, `get_phase_distribution` to see time allocation, and `analyze_training_goal` to determine if a set favors hypertrophy or strength. It also provides recovery guidance via `recommend_rest_period` based on training objectives and intensity.

## Tools

### analyze_training_goal
Categorizes the set's effectiveness for specific physiological outcomes

### calculate_set_tut
Determines the total duration of a single set based on the tempo and repetition count

### get_phase_distribution
Provides a breakdown of how time was distributed across the movement phases

### recommend_rest_period
Suggests an appropriate recovery duration between sets

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I did 10 reps with a 3s eccentric, 1s pause, and 1s concentric tempo. What was my total TUT?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your total time under tension for that set was 50 seconds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a set with 60 seconds of TUT good for hypertrophy?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, a 60-second TUT is generally well-suited for hypertrophy as it provides sufficient metabolic stress.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I'm training for strength at high intensity. How long should I rest?
```

**Response:** 
```
For high-intensity strength training, a rest period of 180 seconds is recommended to allow for full ATP replenishment.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate my total time under tension?**
You can use the `calculate_set_tut` tool by providing the number of repetitions and the duration of the eccentric, pause, and concentric phases.

**Can this tool help with muscle growth?**
Yes, the `analyze_training_goal` tool evaluates your TUT to determine its suitability for hypertrophy or strength training.

**How much rest should I take between sets?**
The `recommend_rest_period` tool suggests recovery durations based on your specific training goal and the intensity of the set.
