How it works Β· 3 steps

🎯
1. Test your max

Do one all-out set. That number is your dial.

πŸ”
2. Grease the groove

Do easy ~50% sets, often, spaced 15–30 min apart. Never to failure.

πŸ“ˆ
3. Retest & climb

Every 2 weeks, retest. New max β†’ new sets β†’ repeat.

Why it works

🧠
Greases the neural pathway. Strength is a skill. Practice the movement fresh and often and your brain recruits more muscle.
πŸ”‹
Always fresh, never fried. Sub-max means no failure, no deep fatigue, so you can practice tomorrow too.
⏱️
Zero workout time. A set takes 20 seconds. Sprinkle them through the day; no block of time required.
πŸ“Š
The math, done for you. Set size, daily volume, weekly grid, and your next retest date, all calculated automatically.

From 5 pull-ups to 15 🍌

Questions

What is Grease the Groove?

A strength method from Pavel Tsatsouline: instead of one brutal workout, do many easy, sub-max sets of one movement throughout the day. Strength is a skill: practice it often and fresh, and you get better at it. No failure, no soreness.

Will I get sore?

You shouldn't. Sets are ~50% of your max and you stop while it still feels easy. If you're sore, drop the intensity dial a few percent.

How far apart should sets be?

At least 15–30 minutes. The whole point is to stay fresh: never grind two sets back to back.

When do I retest?

About every 2 weeks. Do one all-out set, enter the new number, and Pro auto-bumps your plan. We even show you the date.

Is the free version really free?

Yes. One exercise, the full plan and weekly grid, forever, no account. Pro adds logging, streaks, charts, unlimited exercises and the custom dials.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, one click, from the billing portal. The 7-day trial means you're never charged before you're sure.
