- A sample bench-press prescription cites two meta-analyses and PMID 28834797, with a strong-evidence label.
Field notes
The homepage uses a bench-press example to show how its evidence labels might work: three sets of five to ten repetitions at two reps in reserve, supported by named studies and a PubMed identifier. It says the underlying claims determine program variables such as frequency and exercise order, rather than fixed templates. The proposed logger includes prefilled entries, a rest timer that persists outside the app, and operation without a signal.
