43 exercises, each rated

Every exercise has a tier.

Each one comes with a how-to, the muscles it works and a tier from S to C. Tiers are our own evidence-informed ratings of four things: stretch under load, stability, how easy it is to progress, and fatigue cost.

Train for what you want.

The Build muscle guide: the numbers, from reps per set to how often to train each muscle.
  • Build muscle

    Most muscle growth comes from 10–20 hard sets per muscle each week, stopping 0–3 reps short of failure.

  • Get stronger

    Strength builds fastest with heavy sets of 1–6 reps, long rests and practising the same lifts often.

  • Lose fat

    Your diet drives fat loss. Heavy lifting is what keeps your muscle while the fat comes off.

  • Muscular endurance

    Sets of 15–30 reps with short rests train your muscles to keep going for longer.

  • Health and longevity

    Two full-body sessions a week, plus regular cardio, cover most of the health benefits.

  • Training terms

    Every word the app uses, from RIR to rep max.
