AI-Powered Programs

Intelligent periodization that adapts to you

Overview

MyPowerliftingCoach uses advanced algorithms to generate personalized powerlifting programs that adapt to your current strength levels, training history, and competition goals. Unlike static templates, our AI continuously learns from your performance data to optimize your training.

The program generation engine considers over 50 variables including your current maxes, training age, recovery capacity, available equipment, and time constraints to create a program that maximizes your strength gains while minimizing injury risk.

Block Periodization System

1

Hypertrophy Block (3-4 weeks)

Focus on building muscle mass and work capacity with higher volume, moderate intensity training.

Volume: 65-75% 1RM
Sets: 4-5 per exercise
Reps: 8-12 range
RPE: 6-8 target
2

Strength Block (3-4 weeks)

Build maximal strength with progressive overload and moderate-to-heavy loading.

Volume: 75-85% 1RM
Sets: 4-6 per exercise
Reps: 4-6 range
RPE: 7-9 target
3

Peaking Block (2-3 weeks)

Express strength with heavy singles and reduced volume for competition readiness.

Volume: 85-100% 1RM
Sets: 1-3 heavy singles
Reps: 1-3 range
RPE: 8-10 target
4

Deload Week

Strategic recovery period to dissipate fatigue and realize fitness gains.

Volume: 50-60% of normal
Intensity: Reduced by 10-15%
Focus: Movement quality
Recovery: Active rest

Customization Variables

Training Frequency

3-6 days per week with intelligent exercise distribution based on recovery capacity.

SBD Frequency

1-3x per week per lift. Higher frequency for skill development, lower for advanced lifters.

Top Singles

Optional heavy singles to practice competition-weight lifts and build confidence.

Accessory Volume

Configurable accessory work based on weak points and available time.

Algorithm Technical Details

Estimated 1RM Calculation

We use the Epley formula with RPE adjustment:

e1RM = weight × (1 + reps/30) × RPE_multiplier
RPE_multiplier = 1 + (10 - RPE) × 0.033

Volume Progression

Weekly volume increases follow a sigmoid curve to prevent overreaching:

volume_multiplier = 1 + (week / total_weeks) × 0.15
capped_at_MRV = min(calculated_volume, user_MRV)

Intensity Distribution

Sets are distributed across intensity zones based on the current training block and fatigue accumulation. The algorithm prioritizes specificity as competition approaches.
