Seven questions about you. Your bests, bodyweight, training days, and available time are enough to write the program.
What you tell it
Kilos, reps and RPE go into your history, and your history is what the coach reads before it answers you.
Back Squat
Target 4 × 5 · 150 kg · RPE 8
It knows what you squatted on Tuesday, what week you are in, and how you slept last night.
Answers from your own training
Am I actually getting stronger?
Squat e1RM is up 7.5 kg over six weeks. But your top sets are coming in at RPE 9 against a target of 8. You are grinding. Hold 130 kg next week, then we peak.

ChatGPT can give you a useful answer, but you have to bring it up to date first with which week of your program you’re in, what you’ve lifted lately, and how your recovery and nutrition have been. SBD Guru can check your program, training log, and check-ins before replying, so you can ask your question without recapping your whole week.
No. You don’t need years of experience, but you should know the basic technique for squat, bench press, and deadlift. From there, start with the weights you can lift now, choose a schedule you can stick to, and take the program one session at a time.
If you trained but forgot to log it, add it later. If you didn’t train, move the remaining sessions to later dates and carry on.
