Ask without explaining yourself first.

It knows what you squatted on Tuesday, what week you are in, and how you said you slept.

Answers from your own training

  • Where you are in the block
  • Your lifts and RPEs
  • Your recent check-ins

Am I actually getting stronger?

Squat e1RM is up 7.5 kg over six weeks. But your top sets are coming in at RPE 9 against a target of 8. You are grinding. Hold 130 kg next week, then we peak.

Questions before you start

  • How is this different from asking ChatGPT?

    With ChatGPT, you type the context every time. You add your program, recent lifts, and how recovered you feel. SBD Guru already has your logged sets, readiness score, and recent sleep.

  • Do I need to be an experienced lifter?

    No. The app is built for newer and experienced lifters. Enter your current numbers, choose a program, and follow the sessions.

  • What if I miss a session?

    If you miss a session, log it later or shift the remaining program forward.

  • What does it cost?

    Free during early access. No card required.
