How it works in Ægir Iron
Inside Ægir Iron the plan is real Cycle, Block, Week, Day structure, not a flat workout list. Blocks are labeled by mesocycle (Accumulation, Intensification, Realization, Peak) and progress over the 8 weeks. Main lifts can run as a percentage of your training max, which resolves live from your maxes, so a heavier max reprices the plan without a rebuild. Log your AMRAP top sets and the app proposes a training-max bump at the end of each cycle, then reprices every percentage in one tap. You load it in a couple of taps, then adjust any session, and a coach can push it to an athlete's account in real time.
