Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build muscle with just bodyweight?
Yes — progressive overload via harder leverages, more reps and tempo builds real strength and size.
How often should I train?
3–5 times a week, alternating push, pull and legs with rest.
Do I need any equipment?
No for most routines; a pull-up bar unlocks more pulling progressions.
How long until I can do a pull-up?
With consistent progressions, many beginners get their first in 6–12 weeks.
Does it work offline?
Yes — plans, timers and logs work without a signal.
Is the app free?
Yes — programs and logging are free, with an optional ad-free Pro upgrade.
