Ask Claude about
your actual lifting.
Povver works out every number first. Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini answers from those numbers.
An assistant guesses.
Yours already knows.
Plateaus are common. Consider varying rep ranges or taking a deload. Can you share your recent numbers?
Bench has sat at 100 kg / 220 lb for 5 weeks. Squat and row are still climbing. Add one hard set, then cut back in week 4.
It does not just read.
It changes your plan.
Ask for next week and it builds the routine and sets it active. It shows up in the app. Mention a sore shoulder and it swaps the lifts that load it, keeping the weekly sets.
Log a session from a chat. Move a deload. Every change is a real edit to your Povver account.
Connect it once.
About two minutes.
Sign in with your Povver account. Each assistant has its own short guide with the real screens.
Questions
How do I use Claude for strength training?
Connect Povver to Claude once, then ask about your own log in plain language: which lift is stalling, whether a muscle gets enough sets, how to plan a deload. Povver has already counted every set, so Claude answers from your numbers instead of guessing. The Claude guide has the steps.
Can Claude connect to my workout log?
Yes. Povver runs an MCP server, so Claude can read your sets, trends and plan, and change them. You connect once with your Povver account.
Does it work with ChatGPT and Gemini?
Yes, all three work the same way. Each has its own setup guide: ChatGPT and Gemini. Any other MCP client works too.
What do I need?
The Povver app with an active subscription, which starts with 14 days free, and an account with the assistant you want to use.
Do I still need the app?
Yes. Povver is where you log training and where the numbers are worked out. The assistant reads that record, so the more you log, the better its answers.
What can the assistant read and change?
It reads your workouts, per-lift trends, hard sets per muscle, your plan and your notes. It can save routines, log and edit workouts and change your periodization plan. Deletes ask for your confirmation.
Which model should I use?
A smaller one is enough. Povver does the counting first, so the model explains the numbers instead of working them out.
Does it work in Claude Code or Cursor?
Yes. Add the server URL, or use an API key from Profile → Integrations → Advanced → Developer access. The setup guide covers Claude Code, Cursor and n8n.
I use Hevy or Strong. Can I switch?
Import your CSV export and your first session starts from your last one. Then connect your assistant.
