Agile Strength Planner

Stop forcing real coaching into rigid apps

Agile Strength Planner is an Excel-based planning tool for strength and conditioning coaches who want the flexibility of a coach-written program without manually calculating every load, range, and exercise option.

It solves the gap between two common problems:

Too vague

Prescriptions such as:

“Do three hard sets.”

may sound flexible, but they often leave athletes guessing about load, progression, and intent.

Too rigid

Prescriptions such as:

“4 × 6 at 72.5%”

may look precise, but real athletes do not always fit the spreadsheet. Readiness changes, benchmarks are imperfect, equipment may be unavailable, and the session may need to be adjusted.

Agile Strength Planner offers a more practical middle ground.

Write narrative prescriptions such as:

2–3 sets of 4–6 repetitions at 60–70%

and let the planner convert them into clear, rounded load recommendations based on the athlete’s benchmarks.

You keep the coaching language and flexibility.

The planner handles the repetitive calculations and formatting.

What you can create

Agile Strength Planner allows you to build modular strength-training sessions with:

• Primary exercises
• Alternative exercise options
• Percentage-based load ranges
• Main and back-off sets
• Hypertrophy additions
• Isometric work
• Rehabilitation options
• Athlete-specific adjustments
• Reusable prescription schemes
• Printable strength cards

This makes it possible to individualize training inside a group without creating an entirely separate program for every athlete.

Plan digitally. Coach without the phone.

Agile Strength Planner follows a simple back-to-paper workflow:

1. Build and organize the program in Excel.
2. Connect exercises with relevant athlete benchmarks.
3. Select or write the training prescription.
4. Let the planner calculate appropriate load ranges.
5. Print the athlete’s strength card.
6. Coach the session without requiring athletes to carry phones around the gym.

The coach gets the efficiency of a digital planning system.

The athlete gets a clear program that can be read, marked, and used during training.

No constant screen checking. No unnecessary data entry between sets. No turning every athlete into an administrator.
