Supercomp is the ChatGPT for fitness programs

Why would you waste time everyday prompting chatgpt to give you meals or ask what to do each day, why not just generate once for 24 weeks and forget about it. Focus on following a plan than trying to create one that doesn't work. Why pay for tools like Cal AI to just count macros, what about your cardio? water intake? Resistance training? What about your meals and recipes? How about a grocery list for each week with a price breakdown? Supercomp handles all this so you don't ever have to guess.

Workout plans do not need to be tailored. There are one or two dozen of them that are basically optimal for what they do, and everyone should just do those, including women and old people. Tailoring them to a random person's specifications is just going to make them worse 99% of the time, because if those modifications were effective they'd be part of the program, and because a random person will be modifying them mostly to make it easier for themselves. If there was an easy way of getting fit, people wouldn't be so fat; generally if you have chosen an easy fitness program, you are going to remain fat.

Just pick a program and do the program. Using a GPT program is worse than useless; it is going to waste a bunch of man hours.

You could rephrase this program as "this takes optimal training routines and changes them to fit what uninformed people would rather do because it's easier" which is just a bad outcome.

I think the concept might’ve been misunderstood. Supercomp isn’t trying to replace personal trainers or proper workout routines — it’s a fitness program generator that gives people structure and a full overview of what actually matters. Most of us start out just going to the gym without a real plan. I used to do that too — I’d follow a push/pull/legs split, go consistently for months, and still see no results. The problem wasn’t effort; it was that I was guessing everything. I didn’t know my calorie intake, never tracked my macros, barely did any cardio, and had no idea how all these things worked together. That’s what Supercomp fixes. It lays out everything you need in one place. For each day of your plan, you know exactly what’s expected of you — your workouts, meals, macros, cardio, water intake, even meal logging. It takes the confusion out of the process and shows you the full picture. I’ve been using one of my own plans for three months now and have dropped 8 kg. Not because I built some magic tool, but because it’s based on research, real data, and structure. For me, having everything I needed to transform my body in one place made all the difference.

First of all there are already myriad existing good programs that are laid out and tell you what to do. They literally do everything you just said, in a spreadsheet or text file.

Second of all your response is AI slop so I'm not putting any additional effort or elaboration into my comment, since you declined to.

smiru•2w ago
It was genuinely not AI slop. That was me. I would also love if you could share the myriad program example, I don't even know how a regular Joe would know how to navigate to know that a "myriad" program is good for them.

Another thing is the spreadsheet. No one has time to navigate through spreadsheets. That's why apps exist. That's the whole point of user interfaces, to make it easier for users to access things quick and easy.

Also, do you know how difficult it is to calculate macros? An AI guesstimation is way more accurate than a regular human being that has no nutritional knowledge trying to guess the macros in each meal by eyeballing.

smiru•2w ago
Alright, let's put it this way, I am a newbie, 73kg, 173cm height, I don't know my bf%, I just assume going to the gym is all I need to get an aesthetic physique. What is your suggestion for the best path I should take?
