What You'll Learn
In this guide, you'll learn how to create your first workout in Limberjack and understand how the recovery tracking system helps you program smarter.
Step 1: Access the Workout Builder
Navigate to the Builder from your main dashboard. This is where you'll create and manage all your workouts.
Step 2: Create Your First Workout
- Click "New Workout" to open the workout builder
- Give your workout a name (e.g., "Monday Strength")
- Choose a scoring type (For Time, AMRAP, For Load, etc.)
Step 3: Add Movements
Start adding movements to your workout. As you type, Limberjack will show you:
- Movement suggestions from your existing element library
- Last programmed date for each movement
- Recovery status showing which movements are fresh vs. need more time
For example, if you're building an AMRAP workout:
AMRAP 20
5 Pull Ups
10 Push Ups
15 Air Squats
Step 4: Check Recovery Groups
As you add movements, pay attention to the recovery group indicators. These show you which muscle groups and movement patterns you're loading:
This real-time feedback helps you avoid accidentally hammering the same muscle groups too frequently.
Step 5: Save and Schedule
Once you're happy with your workout:
- Click "Save Workout"
- Choose a date to schedule it
- The workout appears on your calendar
Understanding What Happens Next
After you save the workout, Limberjack automatically:
- Tracks all movements and their associated recovery groups
