Intelligent New Programme

Published in Diet and Fitness - 2 mins to read

This week I have finally started a proper powerlifting programme, rather than totally winging it when I work out. It is a little different to your average programme though, it is in fact the Juggernaut 'AI' Coaching programme. I put 'AI' in well-deserved quotes, because as far as I can tell, the only intelligence involved in its creation is purely organic, and the rest is done by a (presumably complicated) spreadsheet. If there is any truth in the meme that machine learning is just a massive tree of if{} statements... this really is a massive tree of if{} statements.

With that being said, it is supposed to be a good compromise between a cookie cutter programme and one-on-one coaching in terms of customisation and price. I am very impressed with the number of factors it takes into account and how well it seems to handle each input. It seems to be a very good price for what it is ($27/month), in my opinion at least.

I am very excited to get back into training 'properly' and hopefully start seeing some meaningful progress. I am a little scared though - there is a lot more volume in my upcoming weeks then I have been doing in the past few months! There's gonna be a lot of sore mornings this winter.
