To build a mesocycle and get training, go to the mesos tab in the bottom of the screen. Then, hit the (+) icon in the top right corner. You can select from a prebuilt template, build one yourself, or use the meso builder.
Prebuilt Templates:
- Select from one of our many premade options. (Which template should I pick?)
Hint: Use the filter to narrow your selection down! - Select your exercises from each individual drop down, use the flash icon to let the app select, or keep the preselected exercises. You can change these later. You can also add and delete exercises from the template. (Does exercise order matter?)
- Once every exercise is filled out, hit the red 'create mesocycle' button in the bottom.
- Name the training block.
- Select the block length. This number includes a deload in the final week. (Can I change this later?)
- Select units: pounds or kilograms. Once this is selected, this cannot be changed.
- Select Create. (Do I have to train the same day every week?)

Creating a mesocycle from scratch:
1. The default starting number of days is. Click the menu in the top right to add days. (How many days should I lift?)
2. Click the (+) icon in the bottom right to add exercises to each day.
3. Select your exercises from the drop down in the muscle group or click the flash icon in the top right to have the app select your exercises.
4. Follow steps 3-6 from the previous step to complete mesocycle creation.
Creating With the Meso Builder:
- Select the number of days per week you are going to train.
- Select muscle groups for some or each of the muscle group emphases: emphasize, grow, maintain (a limited amount of muscle groups can be placed under emphasis, as there are only so many slots available).
- Hit 'Next' and watch the app build your structure.
- Select your exercises using either the drop down for each muscle group or using the flash icon in the top right.
