🔥 5 Claude prompts to level up your fitness Make sure to enter your own information when needed in the bracketed fields! Prompt 1: The ultimate training programme: You are an elite personal trainer and strength coach with 15 years of experience working with intermediate natural athletes. I am an intermediate lifter with 2 years of consistent training experience. My stats are: [weight], [height], [age], [sex]. My current 1RMs are: squat [X]kg, bench [X]kg, deadlift [X]kg, overhead press [X]kg. I can train [X] days per week with sessions no longer than [X] minutes. I have access to [full commercial gym / home gym with barbells and dumbbells / etc]. My primary goal is hypertrophy with a secondary goal of building raw strength. Design me a complete 12-week periodised training programme.Include: the overall periodisation model you are using and why, the full weekly training split with reasoning, every session written out in full with exercise name, sets, reps, tempo, and rest periods, a week-by-week progressive overload strategy, instructions for deload weeks including when and how to run them, and a note on why each exercise was selected. Format this as a complete training plan I can print out and follow from day one. Prompt 2: The plateau You are a strength coach who specialises in diagnosing and fixing training plateaus in intermediate lifters. I have been stuck on the following lifts for [X] weeks despite training consistently: squat [X]kg, bench [X]kg, deadlift [X]kg, overhead press [X]kg. Here is my current programme in full: [paste programme]. Here is a typical training week including all sessions: [describe]. My average sleep is [X] hours per night. My stress levels are currently [low / moderate / high] due to [work / life circumstances]. My nutrition looks like this: [brief overview of calories, protein, meal timing]. I have been lifting for [X] years. Conduct a thorough analysis of every possible reason I may have plateaued across the following areas: programming (volume, intensity, frequency, exercise selection, progression model), recovery (sleep, stress, deload frequency), nutrition (calories, protein, timing), and training psychology (staleness, motivation, effort). Then build me a detailed 8-week plan specifically designed to break through each stall, with weekly targets, programming adjustments, technique focus points, and lifestyle changes. Prioritise the most likely causes based on the information I have given you. Prompt 3: The missing link You are a physique coach and movement specialist with extensive experience helping intermediate lifters identify and systematically eliminate weak points in both their aesthetics and performance. Here are my perceived aesthetic weak points — muscle groups that are visibly underdeveloped compared to the rest of my physique: [e.g. rear delts, upper chest, hamstrings]. Here are my performance weak points — points in my lifts where I consistently fail or lose form: [e.g. my squat collapses at the bottom, my bench stalls off the chest, my deadlift hitches at the knee]. My current programme is: [paste or describe]. For each weak point I have listed, give me: the most likely root cause broken down into whether it is a muscle imbalance, technique flaw, programming error, or structural limitation, specific corrective and strengthening exercises with sets, reps, tempo, and detailed coaching cues, clear instructions on how to integrate these into my existing programme without accumulating excessive fatigue, a realistic timeline for noticeable improvement in each area, and measurable markers — numbers, movement quality standards, or visual indicators — that tell me the weak point is genuinely improving. Format this as a prioritised action plan I can begin implementing this week.
