Field notes
BRACED describes a five-band readiness score built from Apple Health sleep, heart-rate variability, and resting heart rate; each band changes set volume and load, and the next set can shift according to whether the previous one felt easy or difficult. The site lists 119 exercises, 112 with video, plus workout plans around available home equipment and flagged injuries. It also names Fitbod, Strong, Hevy, and CSV as import sources; Google Play is marked “coming soon.”
