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.

You’re right. I’m not sure where I got that from. Seems weird to me now as well. As if I was replying to the wrong comment, sorry for that.
Ot’s true what you say on the other part :)
