Part 1 - About you
These answers help us set starting weights, how much work to give you, and how hard the first weeks should feel. Skip anything you do not know.
Helps us set typical strength and body-fat ranges.
Use a mirror or a recent photo. An exact percentage is not needed.
Include desk, commute, and sofa. Do not include sleep.
A phone or watch estimate is fine. Distances assume a normal walk; your stride may differ.
Standing and lifting are tiring, but they usually burn less than sport. Your job title comes later.
Anything besides this gym program: sport, classes, or extra lifting. Check all that apply.
Part 2 - Goals
Choose one.
Check a few. The others will still be trained enough to maintain.
Part 3 - Schedule and gym
An optional extra session when you have leftover energy. It is not a required extra day.
Pick the closest match. You do not need to list every machine.
This is about knowing the floor, not how long you have been lifting. If you are new, we keep nearby backups when a machine is busy.
Part 4 - Limitations
Tell us what we should be careful with. We will adjust the exercise (weight, range, or a swap) rather than drop it unless we must. If something is severe, we wait for clearance before writing a plan.
Part 5 - Lifestyle
Sleep, stress, and job title help us judge recovery. How physical the job is was asked above.
Part 6 - Other notes
Anything here is used to tailor the program. Skip if nothing applies.
Prefer machines over barbells.
Gym is crowded at 6 pm.
No early mornings.
Start light for the first two weeks.
Skip preacher curl, hip abductor, or behind-the-neck work.
Prefer short cardio, not one long block.
I do not want to use the squat rack.
Wrists bother me on heavy barbell presses.
