How it works ยท 3 steps

๐ŸŽฏ
1. Test your max

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

๐Ÿ”
2. Grease the groove

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

๐Ÿ“ˆ
3. Retest & climb

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

Why it works

๐Ÿง 
Greases the neural pathway. Strength is a skill. Practice the movement fresh and often and your brain recruits more muscle.
๐Ÿ”‹
Always fresh, never fried. Sub-max means no failure, no deep fatigue โ€” so you can practice tomorrow too.
โฑ๏ธ
Zero workout time. A set takes 20 seconds. Sprinkle them through the day; no block of time required.
๐Ÿ“Š
The math, done for you. Set size, daily volume, weekly grid, and your next retest date โ€” calculated automatically.

From 5 pull-ups to 15 ๐ŸŒ

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 โ€” 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 15โ€“30 minutes. The whole point is to stay fresh โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
