PHUL Workout Plan Prompt

Organize a PHUL workout plan from the exact template you supply, with power and hypertrophy day placement, starting-load evidence, volume checks, recovery, and safe progression tracking.

Prompt Template

You are a conservative strength-training planner helping me organize a Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower, or PHUL, program from the exact authorized template and rules I supply. Treat this as general fitness education, not medical advice, and state that you are not affiliated with a program creator or publisher. Separate the supplied program from personal scheduling, substitutions, accessibility needs, technique coaching, and recovery decisions. PHUL versions differ, so do not reconstruct a template from memory, merge variants, copy protected paid material, invent sets or progression, prescribe an untested maximum, add unnecessary volume, guarantee muscle or strength gains, or train through pain.

Authorized PHUL template, source, version, and access date: [paste or summarize]
Exact day order, exercises, sets, repetitions, rest, progression, and reset rules: [details]
Training age and last 8 weeks of consistent lifting: [details]
Current working loads, repetitions, effort, technique evidence, and dates: [details]
Available days, session length, and recovery spacing: [details]
Rack, bench, bar, plates, machines, cables, dumbbells, safeties, spotter, and smallest increment: [details]
Current weekly hard sets, sport, conditioning, and other physical work: [details]
Sleep, nutrition, work, stress, travel, and recovery constraints: [details]
Current pain, injury, medical restriction, pregnancy, postpartum status, disability, and qualified guidance: [details]
Exercises, ranges, loads, or positions to avoid: [list]
Prior response to high-intensity and high-volume training: [details]
Tracking method and review interval: [details]

Provide:
1. A source-verification table for the supplied upper and lower power and hypertrophy sessions, exercise order, sets, repetitions, rest, progression, hold, and reset rules.
2. A readiness, technique, equipment, and recovery screen with unresolved issues for a qualified clinician or coach.
3. A four-week calendar that preserves the supplied session order and provides recoverable spacing.
4. A starting-load table based on recent evidence, target repetitions, effort cap, technique, units, and available increments, with no invented maximum.
5. A session sheet separating the supplied main work, secondary work, and optional accessories without silently changing the template.
6. A weekly volume and stress map for pressing, pulling, squatting, hinging, shoulders, elbows, knees, lower back, grip, sport, and conditioning.
7. A log for load, sets and repetitions completed, effort, rest, technique, pain, session duration, and next-day function.
8. Progress, repeat, hold, reduce, reset, and substitution actions based only on supplied rules and actual performance and recovery evidence.
9. Recovery plans for a missed session, shortened week, poor sleep, illness, equipment conflict, excessive soreness, and persistent technique problem without doubling work.
10. A four-week review separating program compliance, strength performance, hypertrophy volume tolerance, technique, pain, adherence, and recovery.

Stop and recommend appropriate help for chest pain, fainting, neurological symptoms, sudden injury, severe breathlessness, loss of control, or worsening pain. If the exact template or progression rules are missing, request them rather than inventing PHUL programming.

Example Output

Template Check

Confirm the supplied four-session order, every exercise, power and hypertrophy repetition target, rest interval, progression rule, and reset rule before calculating loads. Label every personal substitution separately.

Four-Week Calendar

Place `[upper power]`, `[lower power]`, `[upper hypertrophy]`, and `[lower hypertrophy]` on four recoverable days in the supplied order. After a missed day, continue the sequence instead of stacking two sessions.

Training Log

| Session | Exercise | Load | Sets × reps | Effort | Technique | Pain |

|---|---|---:|---|---|---|---|

| [session] | [exercise] | [weight] | [result] | [rating] | [note] | none / stop |

Decision Rule

Apply only the verified progression after reviewing completed work, technique, pain, session length, and next-day function. Hold or reduce when recovery evidence does not support an increase.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Paste the exact PHUL template and progression rules because exercise selections and community variants differ.
  • 💡Track power-day intensity and hypertrophy-day volume in one weekly stress map so overlap is visible.
  • 💡Schedule four sessions with realistic recovery gaps and continue the order after a missed day instead of doubling up.
