Before you connect
Questions about Progressive Overload Planner.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How does the Progressive Overload Planner help with my lifting?
It automates your weight progression. You get a 12-week schedule that tells you exactly how much weight to add each week while keeping you within safe limits.
Can the Progressive Overload Planner create a full 12-week program?
Yes, it generates a complete 12-week roadmap of target weights based on your starting point and desired weekly increments.
How does the Progressive Overload Planner prevent injuries?
It uses safety caps to monitor your progress. If a weight jump exceeds your specified percentage, it flags it to help you avoid overtaxing your tendons.
Does the Progressive Overload Planner work for powerlifting?
It's great for powerlifting. It helps you manage heavy linear progression and identify exactly when your training intensity might hit a structural limit.
Can I use the Progressive Overload Planner to check if a weight jump is too big?
Yes, you can ask your agent to check any specific weight jump. It will compare the increase against your safety constraints and suggest a safer weight if needed.
How does the safety cap work?
The planner monitors the percentage increase between weeks. If a scheduled increment would cause a jump larger than your maxJumpPercent, the capability automatically caps the weight at the maximum safe threshold to prevent injury.
Can I use this for different training styles?
While optimized for linear progression, you can adapt it by adjusting the weeklyIncrementKg and maxJumpPercent to match your specific methodology.
What does the plateau prediction tell me?
The predict_progression_plateau capability simulates your entire 12-week cycle and identifies the specific week where your weight increases will first trigger the safety cap.
