Optimal Routine - Iron Mentor

Build the perfect routine for your body — automatically

The Optimal Routine Builder turns your physique priorities, schedule, and equipment into a dynamic, adaptive training plan.

Build My Optimal Routine

What It Does

Prioritizes the muscles you care about most — Rate 16 muscle groups from “skip it” to “top priority.” High scores get more volume and higher frequency; low scores get maintenance work or none at all.
Matches the plan to your recovery — Set how hard you want to train and how often you can come back ready. The system manages sets per session, peak frequency, and synergistic work automatically.
Chooses smart exercises for you — Start from a science-based template (or Dirk / Quinn / Kass variants) and swap movements based on your joints, equipment, and preferences.
Adapts as you log workouts — As you train, the routine updates loads and targets using your actual performance and recovery—not guesswork.

Why Use the Builder?

Stop copy-pasting generic PPL templates
Get a routine that reflects your actual goals and constraints
Keep one core plan that evolves with you instead of restarting every 8 weeks
