PT Manager Saves Every Block You Build, Ready For The Next Client Who Needs It
From the FASTER syllabus: this article is taught in full in PT Manager, free with any FASTER course →
In short: Today's first post gave the four-step method for working out which muscles an exercise trains, run on a lunge. Today's second post named a specific programme block, Escalating Density, that measures progress without adding weight. PT Manager's programme builder is where a trainer puts an exercise chosen with the first method into a block shaped like the second, then saves the whole thing against a client so it doesn't have to be rebuilt from memory next time.
Two posts, one client in front of you
Today's first post worked out which muscles a lunge trains, using a method that runs on any exercise. Today's second post named a specific block, Escalating Density, for measuring a client's progress without touching the weight on the bar. Both are real skills, and neither one, by itself, puts an actual session in front of an actual client next Tuesday.
Where the two things become one thing
PT Manager's programme builder is where a trainer adds the lunge, chosen for what today's method says it does, into a block shaped the way today's second post describes it: a timer, a pair of exercises, and a target to beat next time. Built once, against a named client, and saved rather than held in memory until the next session and half-remembered by the one after that.
Why saved beats remembered
A block rebuilt from memory drifts a little each time it's rebuilt, and a client who asks why this week's version is different from last week's deserves a better answer than a shrug. A block saved in the builder stays exactly as it was built, so the only thing that changes on purpose is the number the client is trying to beat.

No. PT Manager opens the moment you sign up with FASTER, and adding real clients unlocks once you pass a course.
