How do I actually follow this strength workout once the AI writes it?

Paste the AI's reply into sweatcue. It structures the session into timed blocks with auto-starting rest timers and calls every set, rest and rep out loud, so you train hands-free instead of scrolling a chat window.

The prompt

Copy the complete prompt (it wraps the request below so the AI returns a clean, runnable session).

Write me a 20-minute full-body strength workout for a busy intermediate trainee, built for speed. Pair the movements as supersets — a squat or hinge, a press, and a pull — with short transitions. Give 1 to 2 hard sets per exercise of 6 to 12 reps taken close to failure, minimal rest between paired moves, 2 to 3 times a week. List every exercise with its sets, reps, rest in seconds and a load or RPE.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

When time is tight, a single hard set per exercise, done 1–3 times a week, still produces real strength gains — not quite optimal, but plenty to build and maintain. Supersetting compresses it into about 20 minutes.
