Start with the goal

A training block should have one clear job. Some blocks build volume, some sharpen strength, and some reduce fatigue so the next block can move forward.

Use prescriptions as targets

Sets, reps, load, and rest are not random fields. They describe the intended work and give the coach a clean way to compare the plan against what happened.

Let logged results guide changes

The workout log is where the plan becomes useful. Missed reps, faster sets, pain notes, and recovery patterns help decide whether to progress, repeat, or adjust.
