You programmed deadlifts on Monday. Then thrusters on Wednesday. Friday rolls around and half your class is still sore, moving slowly, and you realize—you've hammered their posterior chain three days straight.
Someone gets injured. Another athlete quietly stops showing up. A member asks, "Are we doing legs again?" and you feel that pit in your stomach.
You're scrolling Instagram for workout ideas. Copying from other gyms. Using pre-written programs because at least someone else thought it through.
But those workouts don't account for what YOUR athletes did yesterday. Or last week. You're stitching together programs that weren't designed to work together, hoping it somehow makes sense.
Your athletes deserve better than franken-programming. You know it. They're starting to know it too.
Did you give their shoulders enough rest? Was last week too easy? Too hard? You're second-guessing every workout because you can't see the full picture.
You want to challenge your athletes, but you're terrified of breaking them. So you play it safe. Your programming gets boring. Athletes lose interest.
Or you go the other direction—pushing hard to keep things exciting—and people start dropping like flies.
Athletes are comparing notes. "Why are we squatting again?" "My shoulders are fried." "I thought we were supposed to be peaking for the Open?"
You don't have good answers because you're not actually sure what the load has been. You're making it up as you go, hoping no one notices.
But they do notice. And they're starting to look elsewhere.
Your athletes need consistent exposure to movements to get stronger. But they also need variety to stay engaged and avoid overuse injuries.
You know this. But without tracking what you've programmed across weeks, you can't see if you're repeating too much or not enough. Some movements get neglected for months. Others show up three times a week.
You're flying blind, and your programming suffers for it.
An athlete mentions their legs are tired. You already knew—today's workout is upper body focused with light leg work. They look at you differently. "You really thought about this, didn't you?"
Your programming consistently makes sense. Athletes feel challenged but recovered. They're progressing without burning out. They stop questioning your decisions because they can feel you understand what their bodies need.
When someone asks why you programmed today's workout, you have real answers. You know exactly when you last hit squatting movements. You can see that overhead pressing needs more recovery time. You're making decisions based on data, not guesswork.
Your athletes trust your guidance because you trust your process. No more flying blind. No more second-guessing yourself at 10pm.
Athletes tell their friends about you. Not because your workouts are the hardest or the trendiest, but because your programming shows you care. You're known as the coach who pays attention, who understands recovery, who programs intelligently.
Retention improves. Referrals increase. You sleep better because you're confident in what you're putting out there.
This is what coaching at the highest level looks like.
You get x-ray vision into recovery. Every movement tracked across custom recovery groups you define—quads, shoulders, low back, whatever matters to your training approach.
See which movements are fresh and which need more time. No complex calculations. No spreadsheets. Just clear indicators showing you what's recovered and what's not.
Define recovery groups however you think about training. Keep it simple with "legs" and "arms" or get specific with "hip flexors" and "rotator cuff." The system works the way you work.
Building Monday's workout, you instantly see that squatting movements are recovered but overhead pressing needs another day. You adjust confidently, knowing your athletes will feel challenged in all the right ways.
The workout builder speaks your language—EMOM, AMRAP, For Time. You focus on smart programming while Limberjack tracks how movements accumulate over time.
Months of workouts in spreadsheets? Import them in minutes. CSV, JSON, Excel—we handle it all. See your programming patterns immediately and start making better decisions today.
See weeks of programming at a glance. Spot patterns before they become problems. Plan intelligent training cycles. Make adjustments backed by real data about movement accumulation.
We created Limberjack because we wanted to be coaches our athletes could trust completely. No venture capital pressure. No bloated features. Just a tool that helps you connect with your athletes through programming that shows you care.
