Why am I not getting stronger? Breaking a strength plateau.

Why strength stalls and how to break a plateau: stimulus versus accumulated fatigue, what to change first, why proximity to failure beats more volume, and whether to switch programs at all.

Outcome — The practical move is to change one variable at a time rather than guessing. StrengthSync adjusts your next session from your own logged performance and tells you, in one plain sentence, why it changed.

[ 05 ] · Recomposition

Do I need to track both calories and lifting to build muscle or get leaner?

Body recomposition: why training and energy balance are two levers that work together, whether you can build muscle and lose fat at once, protein in a deficit, and why one-pillar apps leave you half-blind.

[ 06 ] · The engine

How does StrengthSync decide my next weight, and why did it change my workout?

How the coaching engine decides and explains: how it picks your next weight from your logged sets, why it moves load up or down, how it knows when to back off, and how that differs from a spreadsheet or a fixed adaptive app.

When the heat hits, you don't need a callback next week. You need someone who picks up and shows up.
