The Python strength program generator.

Project description

PyPi Documentation Status

Install by running pip install streprogen. Remember to read the documentation.

Project summary

Streprogen (short for Strength Program Generator) is a Python package which allows the user to easily create dynamic, flexible strength training programs. The main features are:

  • Sensible defaults: The software comes with sensible default values for all input parameters, giving the novice strength athlete some guidance on parameter selection. The software will raise warnings if the input parameters are unreasonable, but will still run.

  • High level of customization: Every important parameter can be changed by the user. It is possible to create long-term training programs with several layers of periodization if the user wishes to do so.

  • Simple object oriented interface: The four main classes are StaticExercise, DynamicExercise, Day and Program.

  • Pretty output: The training programs are easily saved as .txt, .html or .tex files.

Installation

  1. The Anaconda distribution of Python 3.x from the Anaconda Website.

  2. Run pip install streprogen in the terminal (cmd.exe on Windows) to install streprogen from PyPi.

  3. Open a Python Editor (such as Spyder, which comes with Anaconda).

  4. Take a look at the documentation for examples.

Sample code

from streprogen import Program, Day, DynamicExercise, StaticExercise

# Create a 4-week program
program = Program('My first program!', duration = 4)

# Create some dynamic and static exercises
bench = DynamicExercise('Bench press', 60, 80)
squats = DynamicExercise('Squats', 80, 95)
curls = StaticExercise('Curls', '3 x 12')
day = Day(exercises = [bench, squats, curls])

# Add day(s) to program and render it
program.add_days(day)
program.render()
print(program)
