  Sure and assuming you want a professional routine, you always end up with the same exercises, depending on the frequency of your training and split.

  Maybe my mind is too narrow in this regard to see a benefit in it, sorry

    I’d say too narrow, goals vary between people greatly, and the routine you’d use for general fitness will be different than the one you’d focus on as a runner or cyclist, and different than someone focusing on support muscles for back or knee pain, or to lose weight.

    Its also good to change the routine over time, to change the angle and movement patterns, etc.

      All those goals are fixed and for neither of them is a “random” routine good.

      Users should be able to create and share/follow routines.

      I would not want to rely on a random routine for my injury. Do you think tgat’s a good idea?

      Having an ai to tell me when to switch angle sounds overkill to me. I’d switch angles if I have to hit the muscle differently or just whenever I want to. Both situations don’t require an ai to do that, right?

        I dont think I said “random”, but a randomized routine that meets criteria absolutely works, and you dont need AI for that. I dont think anyone said “AI” at all until you just now either.

        Detecting plateau isn’t too hard either, which is when you would get a suggestion to change an exercise or set of exercises in a routine, or a new routine. Which is where change of angle comes in - its about the exercise being performed.

        Can someone do it themselves? Sure, it just takes more work. Which is kind of the point here - you can make a list of exercises that hit a muscle or muscle group just fine without software, which is what this software does. The next logical step is a system that handles routine options, too.

        Even with consistent goals you need to change your routine around.
