Note

These use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation — a solid starting point. Re-check against your actual weekly weight trend after 2–3 weeks and adjust calories up or down if you're not moving the way your goal expects.

Recommended: pair this with Cronometer

For the most accurate calorie and macro tracking, use Cronometer — it has a full food database built for precision logging. This dashboard is designed for accountability and long-term progress, not gram-by-gram tracking. You can either log your daily totals here manually, or simply copy your daily numbers over from Cronometer once you're done for the day.

Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS)

Why your muscles actually grow

Muscle Protein Synthesis is your body's process of repairing and rebuilding muscle fibers after they've been put under stress. It's the biological engine behind every bit of muscle growth you'll ever see.

1. Train Lifting creates mechanical tension and tiny amounts of damage in the muscle fibers.
2. Breakdown That stress signals your body: these fibers need repair — and reinforcement.
3. Rebuild & grow During rest — especially sleep — your body rebuilds those fibers thicker and stronger.

This is why your muscles don't grow during the workout — training only creates the stimulus. The actual growth happens afterward, when protein synthesis outpaces breakdown. That's a recovery-phase process, not a training-phase one.

That's also why protein and sleep matter so much. Protein supplies the amino acids your body needs as raw material to rebuild fibers. Sleep is when the bulk of that repair and growth-hormone release actually happens — skimping on either one caps how much of your training turns into muscle.

Myops — Effective Muscle Growth Stimulus

Not all volume is created equal

Myops is the idea that growth isn't driven by how many sets you do — it's driven by how many effective sets you do. A set only counts toward growth if it creates a real stimulus: enough effort, close enough to failure, to genuinely recruit and challenge the muscle fibers you're training.

Junk volume
  • Sets stopped far short of real effort
  • Sloppy form, momentum doing the work
  • Adds fatigue without adding stimulus
  • Done just to feel productive
Quality set
  • Taken close to — or to — failure
  • Controlled, full range of motion
  • Genuinely recruits the target muscle
  • Actually earns you growth

This is why quality beats quantity. Ten hard, well-executed sets will almost always build more muscle than twenty half-hearted ones — and they'll leave you more recovery capacity to actually improve next session. More volume only helps if it's volume your body can recover from and respond to.

Recommended training splits

Pick the one that fits your schedule
5-Day

For lifters who can commit five sessions a week

Upper / Lower × PPLHigh frequency and balanced volume across every muscle group — great for intermediate–advanced lifters.
Upper / Lower × Arnold (Chest & Back / Legs / Arms)Combines frequency with isolation-focused volume — good for those chasing arm and back detail.
Anterior × PosteriorFront-body / back-body split for lifters who want simplicity with high movement-pattern frequency.
4-Day

The most common sweet spot

Upper / Lower / Rest / Upper / LowerBalanced 2×/week frequency per muscle — great for most intermediates and busy schedules.
Push / Pull / Legs / UpperPPL structure with an extra upper day — for people who like PPL but only have 4 days.
Anterior × PosteriorA leaner, 4-day take on the front/back split — simple and time-efficient.
Arnold Split × UpperArnold grouping plus a 4th day for extra frequency and volume.
3-Day

For beginners and tight schedules

Full Body ×3Trains everything every session — ideal for beginners and anyone short on weekly time.
Push / Pull / LegsClear movement-pattern organization without a big weekly time commitment.
Arnold SplitHigher volume per session for lifters who don't mind lower frequency per muscle.

Weekly muscle volume

The most important number in your program

For most people, the sweet spot is 8–10 quality working sets per muscle group, per week. That's generally enough to maximize growth without piling up more fatigue than you can recover from.

Weekly target 8–10 sets / muscle / week

Here's what that looks like spread across a week of chest training:

Monday — ChestIncline Press × 2 · Pec Fly × 2
4 sets
Session 2 — ChestIncline Press × 1 · Pec Fly × 1
2 sets
Session 3 — ChestIncline Press × 1 · Pec Fly × 1
2 sets
Weekly total 8 quality sets

After Monday, you're already halfway to the weekly goal — your next chest session doesn't need another 4 sets, it just needs to top up what's left. Once you've hit your number, more sets in one sitting mostly just add fatigue.

Spreading volume across two or three sessions instead of cramming it into one usually means better bar speed, better form, and better recovery — which tends to add up to better results than doing it all in a single, grinding session.

How this works

Getting started

You already set up your name and calorie target during onboarding — you can revisit either any time on TDEE & Macros or right here in Settings.

Log your weigh-in weekly at the same time of day (ideally first thing, before breakfast) so readings stay comparable. Log measurements every 1–2 weeks using the same technique each time.

Log every gym session — sets, reps, and the heaviest working weight — so PR tracking and month-over-month comparisons stay accurate. Check the Training Guide tab if you want a refresher on splits and weekly volume.

Reading your status

Progressing — you're consistently moving toward your goal.

Plateau — little change recently. Not a bad sign, just a cue to check in on training, nutrition, recovery or consistency.

Needs Attention — trending the wrong way, or workouts have gone quiet.

Units & data

Weights are tracked in kilograms and measurements in centimeters throughout. All data is stored locally in this browser via localStorage — nothing is uploaded anywhere. Export a backup regularly, especially before clearing browser data or switching devices.

Reset all data

This permanently clears every log, goal, and setting from this browser and takes you back through setup. Export a backup first if you want to keep anything.
