You already know how to program. The problem is time. Connecting what you did last week to what you should do today takes more mental energy than writing the workout itself.
Limberjack connects your long-term strategy to what you write on the whiteboard today. Three levels of planning, each one feeding the next.
Cycles: Set the Direction
A training cycle gives your programming a destination. Pick a target workout โ a benchmark, a competition piece, whatever your athletes are building toward โ and set a timeline.
Limberjack generates a phased progression: base work to build capacity, progressive overload through the build phase, peak-intensity sessions approaching the target, and a taper to arrive fresh. Each week rotates through the target workout's elements and similar movements so your athletes practice what matters without grinding the same thing every session.
The key benefit: cycle workouts show up as anchors in your weekly plan. You don't have to remember what's committed. They're already placed on the right days.
Weeks: Choose the Stimulus
The weekly planner is where strategy meets the whiteboard. Instead of picking from a list of session templates, you choose stimulus types directly. Strength on Monday. Lactate threshold on Tuesday. Aerobic capacity on Thursday. Each selection creates a block with a default duration you can adjust.
A sidebar shows every element your gym uses, organized into sections that matter: elements from this week's active cycles, elements that are recovered and ready, elements used recently, and elements you haven't touched in over a month. Drag them onto any day.
The energy budget bar updates as you assign stimulus types across the week. You see at a glance whether you've stacked too much glycolytic work or neglected the oxidative system.
By the time you finish planning the week, each day has a clear intention: the stimulus types you want to hit and the elements you want to use. You haven't written a single workout yet, but every day has direction.
Days: Build with Context
Open the builder for any day and your plan is already there. A context panel shows which stimulus blocks have been fulfilled by existing workouts and which still need coverage. Planned elements appear with checkmarks when they've been used and as open items when they haven't.
Click "Get Recommendations" and the modal pre-selects your unused planned elements. Elements already covered by today's workouts are dimmed so you can see them without accidentally doubling up. Stimulus type and energy system default to your first unfulfilled block.
Click "Use Template" and templates matching your planned stimulus appear at the top. A template designed for lactate threshold surfaces first when that's what your plan calls for.
You still have full control. Change the stimulus. Swap elements. Pick a different template. The plan guides your decisions without restricting them.
Start with the Week
You don't need to use all three levels on day one. Start with the weekly planner. Assign stimulus types to each day, drag a few elements onto the days you care about, and let the builder do the rest. Recovery tracking and intensity scoring work regardless of whether you've planned ahead.
When you're ready to think bigger, the cycle planner is there. Set a target, generate the progression, and watch your weekly plans fill in with committed workouts that anchor every week.
Programming gets faster. Coverage gets better. Your athletes feel the difference.
