Workout formats
A workout format is a set of rules: how exercises are grouped, how long you work, how long you rest, and what the session is built for. Setkit explains each one honestly, then generates real sessions in all of them.
Straight sets
Strength training
Heavy compound lifts, low reps and full rest, aimed at making you able to produce more force.
- Getting measurably stronger on the big lifts
- People who like clear, trackable progress

- Beginners building consistency before they specialize

Straight sets
Upper/lower split
Alternate sessions between upper and lower body. A good balance of volume and recovery for four days a week.

Straight sets
Push/pull/legs
A three-way split by movement direction. A pressing day, a pulling day and a leg day.

- More work per muscle than a two-way split allows

Not sure which format fits?
Tell the generator your goal, time and equipment. It will pick a sensible structure and build the session, and you can change the format afterward.
