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.

High-volume full-body growth day

Q: What is the best ChatGPT prompt for a weights workout like this?

Use the research-backed prompt on this page: "I'm a skinny beginner male under 25 trying to grow stubborn muscle as a hardgainer, eating in a surplus. Give me one 50-minute higher-volume full-body session I can run 2-3 times a week to hit each muscle more often. War…" Copy the full version with the button above — it wraps the request so ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini returns a clean, followable strength workout you can run hands-free in sweatcue.

The prompt

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

I'm a skinny beginner male under 25 trying to grow stubborn muscle as a hardgainer, eating in a surplus. Give me one 50-minute higher-volume full-body session I can run 2-3 times a week to hit each muscle more often. Warm up 6 minutes (light cardio + 2 ramp-up sets). Then moderate loads in growth-friendly rep ranges, taking sets to ~1-2 reps in reserve: leg press or hack squat 4x10-12, 90s rest; dumbbell incline press 4x10-12, 90s rest; chest-supported row 4x10-12, 90s rest; Romanian deadlift 3x10-12, 90s rest; lateral raise 3x12-20, 45s rest; triceps pushdown 3x12-15, 45s rest; biceps curl 3x12-15, 45s rest. Tell me how to spread this across the week so each muscle gets roughly 12-18 hard sets weekly, and how to progress (add a rep or small load when I top the range).

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Higher weekly volume (toward the upper end of ~10-20 hard sets per muscle) tends to produce more hypertrophy in trained ranges, and spreading it across 2-3 sessions per week lets each muscle be trained more frequently. Moderate loads and rep ranges grow muscle well when sets are taken close to failure. Volume should be built up gradually to stay recoverable.
