Resources Now Organizes The Training Workflow
Resources is now the public home for calculators, calculator guides, program guides, and comparisons, so lifters can move from training math into executable sessions.
Shipped
- Moved the public training tools into a broader Resources section.
- Added a calculator hub with grouped workflows for max estimates, bar loading, session planning, conversions, and deload targets.
- Added calculator guide pages for the decisions that usually happen around the math: training maxes, warm-ups, RPE, spreadsheets, deloads, and stalled routines.
- Added program resources for common structured routines and comparisons, with source boundaries kept visible.
- Kept
/compareas its own canonical section, while linking to it from Resources as part of the broader decision path.
Why
Protocol should not be only a product page.
The people most likely to care about it are often in the middle of a training decision before they are in the middle of an app decision. They have a top set from last week, a spreadsheet open on the side, and a program name they only half understand. They are trying to estimate a max, choose a training max, load a bar, compare a spreadsheet with an app, or decide whether a program is too much work to run manually.
Resources is meant to meet that moment. It gives the lifter a useful answer first, then points toward the product only when Protocol can actually make the next step easier.
Notes
- Existing
/toolsURLs redirect into/resources/tools. - Calculator pages keep formula transparency, caveats, source links, and shareable result URLs.
- Program pages explain public training concepts and point back to original sources where the source owner matters.
- Protocol does not claim to own, certify, or officially represent the named third-party programs.
Next
- Keep Resources useful before making it larger.
- Improve the pages that help someone turn a plan into a session.
- Watch which pages attract real interest before adding thinner variations.
