Everything a serious block needs

Sthenos treats a training block as one plan — progression, exercise choice, and recovery considered together, week by week.

Free plan library

Start from a plan. Change anything.

Download serious templates from the cloud library, then make them yours — swap exercises, move days, adjust volume, add deloads. Good plans should be explored, not just followed.

  • Full training blocks: weeks, phases, rest days
  • Mesocycle & microcycle structure built in
  • Remix without losing the plan's intent
Exercise discovery

Know why an exercise earns its place.

Every exercise carries its science: target muscles, stimulus-to-fatigue ratio, axial loading, equipment, and smart substitutions — so swapping never breaks the plan.

  • Muscle profiles & secondary weights
  • SFR and fatigue-cost ratings
  • Guides and technique notes
Progress that means something

Watch the work add up.

Strength history, volume trends, body metrics, and progress photos — analysis across the whole block, not just a list of past workouts.

  • RIR & RPE effort tracking, when you want it
  • Volume vs. benchmarks (MEV → MRV)
  • Apple Health sync, on your terms
Accountability, not social media

Train with people you actually know.

No feeds, no follower counts, no stranger rankings. Add training partners face to face, share plans with your circle, and compete on the only thing that matters: showing up.

  • Private training circles
  • Share & remix plans with friends
  • Consistency over ego
Training assistant

AI helps. You decide.

Import a messy plan from anywhere, get substitution ideas, or ask why a week is built the way it is. Suggestions support your thinking — nothing rewrites your training behind your back.

  • Import plans from text, spreadsheets, PDFs
  • Every change is visible and editable
  • Bring your own key, or go Premium for managed AI

Most trackers log what you did.
Sthenos helps you plan it.

A great logger records your sets. Sthenos does that — then adds the plans, the science, and the people to actually keep you progressing.

Comparison reflects the common paid logger category as of 2026. Both approaches log well — Sthenos is for lifters who also want to understand and shape their training.
