## Description

This MCP server provides precise tools for strength training progression. It helps lifters determine the ideal weight increase based on their experience level and exercise type. Use `get_recommended_increment` to find the best next step, `validate_plate_combination` to check if your equipment allows for a specific jump, `get_microloading_strategy` for small-scale increments, and `calculate_progression_percentage` to track intensity shifts.

## Tools

### get_recommended_increment
Determines the ideal weight increase for the next training session

### validate_plate_combination
Checks if a specific weight increase can be physically achieved with the available equipment

### calculate_progression_percentage
Calculates how much the weight is increasing relative to the current load

### get_microloading_strategy
Provides specific small-scale increment options when standard increments are too large

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I am a beginner male lifting 60kg for a squat. What should my next weight be?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your profile, a recommended increase is 5kg, making your next session 65kg.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I want to add 2.5kg to my current 40kg bicep curl. I have plates of 20, 10, 5, 2.5, and 1.25kg. Is this possible with a 20kg bar?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, it is possible. You will need to add one 1.25kg plate to each side of the bar.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I am an advanced lifter currently at 100kg. What are my microloading options?
```

**Response:** 
```
For your level, you can use a small increment of 0.5kg or a micro increment of 0.25kg.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the calculator determine the weight increase?**
The `get_recommended_increment` tool calculates the increase by analyzing your experience level, gender, and whether the exercise is a compound or isolation movement.

**Can I check if I have the right plates for a weight jump?**
Yes, use the `validate_plate_combination` tool. You provide your current weight, the target increment, your available plates, and the bar weight to see if the jump is physically possible.

**What is microloading?**
Microloading is the use of very small weight increments to continue progressing when standard jumps are too large. You can find these options using `get_microloading_strategy`.
