A program organises training into weeks, days, exercises, and working sets, then drives the next workout shown on the Home tab. Choose a built-in template when its schedule and progression model fit your goal. Import a spreadsheet or build a custom program when you already have a plan to follow.

​
Key takeaways

  • IronLedger includes guided builders for eight established program structures.
  • Review the days, exercises, training values, and progression summary before activation.
  • Imported and custom programs are better fits when you already have a specific plan.
  • Some catalogue and adaptive-progression features require Strength Pro; core logging does not.

​
How do the catalogue and progression features work?

The program catalogue can include additional plans with filters for goals, training days, experience, equipment, split, and style. Review the program’s progression summary before loading it. Some catalogue plans, adaptive progression targets, explanations, and customisation controls require an active Strength Pro entitlement. Core workout logging, your completed history, and personal records remain usable without Strength Pro. IronLedger shows an upgrade prompt when a specific premium control is unavailable.
Training templates are organisational tools, not medical advice. Choose loads and exercises that match your ability and any guidance from a qualified professional.

​
Frequently asked questions

Yes. Review and edit the created program before training. Changes to future prescriptions do not rewrite workout sessions you already completed.
Yes. Import a supported CSV or Excel file, or load an assignment when connected coaching is enabled for your account.
No. Core program and workout logging remain available without Strength Pro. Premium catalogue, analytics, and adaptive-progression controls show an upgrade prompt at their boundary.
