Strena

Squat · Bench · Deadlift

Strength on
easy mode.

Show up, lift what it says, go home. Strena plans every session and adds weight when you have earned it. You never open a spreadsheet.

How it works

You lift. It does the thinking.

  1. Tell it what you lift.

    Enter your best recent squat, bench and deadlift. Strena works out where you start, a little lighter than your ego would pick.

    Squat145 kg120 kg
    Bench press100 kg82.5 kg
    Deadlift180 kg147.5 kg
  2. Open the app. Lift what it says.

    Every session is planned before you walk in: the lift, the weight, the sets and the plates on each side. No decisions at the rack.

How progression works

Three rules. You never have to remember them.

Each lift moves on its own. Strena applies these after every session, so the next one is ready before you leave the gym.

  1. 01

    Clean session? More weight.

    Finish every set with a solid last rep and the bar goes up next time: 2.5 kg on squat and deadlift, 1.25 kg on bench.

  2. 02

    Missed it? Repeat it.

    Miss a session and you get the same weight again. Miss it twice and it drops 7.5%, so you can build back past it.

  3. 03

    Grinding? Switch to doubles.

    Stall or recover badly and 8 × 3 becomes 10 × 2, 2% lighter. 2 clean sessions in a row and you are back on triples.
