JuggernautAI 4+

I’ve been a user of Juggernaut AI for a going on my 3rd year. Since beginning the program 3 years ago, I’ve added pounds to all of my lifts, and have hit more PRs than I can think back to remember them all. I’ve competed in 4 competitions while using Juggernaut AI. Winning 4 1st place placings and 2 best overalls. I now plan to continue using Juggernaut AI as I plan to prep for my first National competition.

I have also used the Guided AI which opens up the programming a lot and makes the system much more effective. I had the privilege of working with Carlos Moran in preparation of my last competition, and in the brief time we worked together, he helped improve my technical efficiency on all of my lifts, and even help me get out of a year long plateau on my bench press. Carlos always responded to my messages quickly and gave me some great information to allow me to get better in all areas of my lifts. Also Carlos is a monster in the gym so he backs up his bull. Would recommend Juggernaut AI, Guided AI, and obviously my coach Carlos for anyone trying to reach the next level. JUGGLIFE

JuggernautAI provides some great programming and the readiness score is a great way of gauging where your fatigue is before a workout. I have had a lot of fun with the workouts and set several PRs in my main lifts as someone with 10+ years of lifting experience. I also appreciate the flexibility it gives in choosing some exercises (halting deadlifts for high reps can jump off a cliff) based on your preferences and available equipment. To get the most out of the programming, you do need to be experienced in judging your RPE and RIR, but that’s pretty common to most modern powerlifting programs. Support staff are usually pretty fast to respond to your questions.

However, there are several obvious bugs and missing features that have not been addressed in the long period of time since the last update. For instance, you can be limited by the app to a certain weight before you begin warming up based on your readiness score, but the app will then totally ignore that limit during your warmups and recommend a higher weight. The set timer notification works inconsistently. The exercise library is missing a lot of movements and it would be nice to know if they fit as recommended exercises. Just a few things to keep in mind, given the monthly fee and the amount of competitors entering this space.

This is by far the most in depth training app you will ever find. Good movements, good rest periods, good everything. However my personal problem is that it doesn’t allow me to train as intensely as I would like. The weight that I am told to put on tinge bar never brings me to failure or close to it. I am going to start putting my own numbers on the bar (or just add 20lbs to whatever they have up there) and see if that allows me to create better progress and intensity. Amazing app and it’s taught me quite a lot about how to fix imperfections in your lifts and weaknesses. Although I think the best way to follow this app is with some flexibility and maybe push yourself a little harder then it tells you to. But number one listen to your body. The app does allow you to input how you slept and recovered etc and had you change how you train depending on that. But I could usually go harder then what it tells me. Maybe that’s just Bc I’m a young high school student or because I heal fast, but I can preform effectively even without the recovery it says I need. Overall it’s an incredible app, it’s not better then a (good) real life trainer but this is the best training app you will find.
