Getting Started with Limberjack

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

  1. Click "New Workout" to open the workout builder
  2. Give your workout a name (e.g., "Monday Strength")
  3. 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:

20 Min AMRAP
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:

  • ● Ready: Movement is fully recovered (Green)
  • ⬟ Notice: Movement shows minor fatigue (Yellow)
  • ▲ Warning: Movement needs more recovery time (Red)

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:

  1. Click "Save Workout"
  2. Choose a date to schedule it
  3. The workout appears on your calendar

Understanding What Happens Next

  • Tracks all movements and their associated recovery groups
