The prompt

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

Write me a 30-minute bodyweight hypertrophy workout for a trained lifter in a hotel room, no equipment. Use hard variations — decline or archer push-ups, pike push-ups, Bulgarian split squats, single-leg hip thrusts, chair dips, and a row using a towel or a sturdy table. Give 3 to 4 sets each taken to within 1 to 2 reps of failure, with slow lowers and pauses to make them harder, 60 to 90 seconds rest. List every exercise with its sets, reps or hold time in seconds, and rest in seconds.

Works with Claude, Gemini, Grok or any AI.

Why it's built this way

Hard, progressed bodyweight training taken close to failure builds muscle comparably to weights — ideal for keeping progress on the road. Pick variations difficult enough that you near failure in the target rep range.
