Rust: AI Strength Coach

An app's workout plan hurt my elbow. So I built one that asks how you're feeling first.

I'm an Army combat engineer by trade - route clearance in Iraq, 2007 to 2009. After I got out I didn't train for seventeen years. When I finally went back to the gym in my forties, I used a workout app that kept telling me to max out. I kept doing what it said, because that's what it was for. I hurt my elbow.

That's why Rust exists.

IT ASKS BEFORE IT DECIDES
Slept four hours? Shoulder cranky? Elbow still angry? Rust checks in and adjusts what you're lifting instead of marching you into the same number it picked last week.

IT KNOWS YOUR GYM
Commercial gym, garage rack, or one pair of dumbbells - every session is built around the equipment you actually have. Machine taken? Ask the coach for a substitution mid-set.

IT USES YOUR REAL NUMBERS
Progressive overload calculated from what you actually lifted, not a template someone wrote for a stranger.

IT DOES THE MATH
Plate calculator including the bare weight of plate-loaded machines - the hip thrust machine that's already 50 lb before you load it.

ALSO IN THE APP
- Logs every set, with history and analytics that show real progress
- Talk to your coach mid-workout, by voice or text
- Rest timers, supersets, cardio and timed holds
- Form and setup notes on every exercise
- Works with Health Connect

BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T JUST SEND IT
If you're training around a service-connected rating, an old injury, or just more birthdays than you used to have - this was built by someone in the same position.

Veteran owned and operated. Built by one person, no investors, no growth team. Just someone who lifts and writes code.

No ads. No feed to scroll. Open it, train, log it, leave.
