Preset library

Preset routines available in Protocol.

Browse the shipped preset library, source credits, and what Protocol can model before you build or edit your next training block.

Important boundary

Presets are independent Protocol resources. They credit source owners where appropriate, but they are not official partnerships.

17 shipped presets

Use Protocol for the routine, session, log, and progression path.

Protocol can save structured routines, guide sessions set by set, log completed work, and apply configured progression. Source rules, coaching decisions, and edits still matter.
