Procedure
- Assess Baseline and Goals: Gather current body weight and training history using
get_user_preferencesandget_user_historyto determine if the user is in a "Lean Gain" or "Definition" phase. - Calculate Macronutrient Targets:
- Protein: Use
compute_protein_targetto set a daily range of 1.6–2.2 g/kg (up to 2.4 g/kg if in a deficit). - Carbohydrates: Calculate 3–5 g/kg per day using
compute_macros. - Fats: Calculate 0.5–1.5 g/kg per day.
- Energy Balance: Configure a 10–20% surplus for lean gains or a moderate deficit (targeting ≤0.5% mass loss/week) for definition.
- Protein: Use
- Configure Macro Targets: Apply these values using
set_user_macro_targets. - Design Resistance Training:
- Use
create_workoutto build a schedule ensuring each major muscle group is trained at least twice per week. - Program 12–20 hard sets per muscle group per week.
- Select compound movements for 5–8 reps (strength/power) and isolation movements for 10–15 reps (hypertrophy).
- Use
- Integrate Cardiovascular Fitness:
- Schedule 2–3 cardio sessions per week.
- Apply the 6–24 hour separation rule: use
plan_weekto place high-intensity cardio as far from leg-intensive resistance training as possible to avoid interference effects.
- Optimize Nutrient Timing:
- Advise the user to distribute protein across 4–5 boluses per day (approx. every 3–4 hours).
- Ensure one bolus is scheduled near the training window and one prior to sleep.
- Monitor and Adjust: Use
analyze_training_historyevery 4 weeks to evaluate progress and apply periodization (adjusting sets/reps/load) to manage fatigue.
