CMS is not one generic template in a new coat of paint. Each track has its own purpose, training feel, and engine behavior.
This is for lifters who want pressing strength to move now. CMS supports focused bench work, weak-point-aware exercise swaps, and a cleaner path from volume to strength to test week.
Jacked and Strong hits a sweet spot a lot of lifters want: measurable barbell progress and enough hypertrophy work to actually build a physique.
SBD in CMS is built around a macrocycle engine that works backward from meet day. Hypertrophy, strength, peak, and taper phases are laid out based on the calendar so prep feels intentional.
CMS is strong because the logic underneath it is strong. These engines give the app its edge and make the promise believable.
CMS calculates how far out a competition is, then assembles the training flow from there. Hypertrophy, strength, peak, and taper blocks are not hand-waved. They are built from time-to-meet.
Baseline percentages are adjusted by readiness score and lift-specific joint feedback before final working weights are assigned. The app is actually listening when the day is off.
We built a check-in system that turns session feedback into practical load changes. Simple enough to use consistently and useful enough to matter.
CMS carries weakness-specific alternates for common sticking points, so substitutions are not random. Close-grip, board press, Spoto — tied to actual weak-link logic.
Every completed set is logged with weight and reps. The system calculates e1RM trends and uses them to refresh training maxes before test week.
Training cycles aren't guessed. The system manages volume, intensification, and deload phases based on cumulative fatigue and block-completion patterns.
Bench Specialization, Jacked and Strong, and SBD are already built in. Your program will adapt as you train.
No. CMS supports three clear lanes right now: Bench Specialization, Jacked and Strong, and full SBD. That gives lifters a reason to join whether they care most about bench, size plus strength, or meet prep.
The engines. CMS uses competition-date macrocycle logic, readiness-based load adjustments, and lift-specific joint penalties to shape training instead of leaving everything static.
Yes. Feedback from check-ins changes assigned training loads, and the system already includes logic for block progression and weak-point-aware exercise alternatives.
Yes. The analytics page shows e1RM trends for every lift, block-by-block progression, and a full training history. You can see exactly how you're moving week to week.
CMS is free to use while in Beta. Create an account, pick a program, and start training. No cards required, no paywall. We encourage feedback through our suggestions card.
Tell the app where you're weak (lockout, mid-range, off-chest, or none), and it swaps exercises intelligently. Lockout weak? Smart lifters address weakness.
