Strong is the best set-and-rep logger out there. But after five years of structured training, you need something that operates at a different level. This is a respectful look at where Strong ends and training memory begins.
You finish a mesocycle. You open your spreadsheet to plan the next one. And then the familiar questions start.
Was 20 sets for quads too many, or did I just not recover well that one week? Why did I swap hack squats for belt squats? Should I push volume this block or back off?
Strong recorded every set. But none of those answers are in Strong. They're in your head, in a notes app, in a Google Sheet you haven't opened in three weeks.
The gap isn't in the logging. The gap is in the reasoning between blocks.
Fire Your Coach isn't a replacement for Strong. It's the part that's missing. The programming layer that operates at the mesocycle level — remembering your intent, tracking your balance, adapting your sessions, and carrying context forward across blocks.
Use both if you like: Fire Your Coach imports your Strong history at onboarding, and if Strong's logging UX is your happy place, keep it. Or use Fire Your Coach for both — we track sets, splits, and session notes faithfully, and you get the memory layer in the same place.
Strong is the cleanest logger. Fire Your Coach is the memory.
Export your workout history from Strong (Settings → Export). Import it into Fire Your Coach. We'll detect your program structure and start building training memory from your existing data.
No. You can keep Strong alongside — Fire Your Coach imports your history and focuses on the mesocycle layer: why you programmed what you programmed, and what to do next. You can also use Fire Your Coach on its own — we track sets and splits faithfully. The choice is about where you want your logging UX to live.
Yes. Export your workout history from Strong as a CSV (Settings → Export), then import it into Fire Your Coach. We'll rebuild your training history, detect your program structure, and start building memory from day one.
Tracking is supported — we log your sets, splits, and session notes faithfully — but the identity is coaching, not the log. Fire Your Coach is the reasoning layer on top: it remembers why you programmed what you programmed, tracks balance across blocks, and adapts sessions when life gets in the way.
Strong records your sets and reps. Fire Your Coach remembers your programming decisions across mesocycles — why you swapped exercises, how volume decisions played out, where your training balance is drifting, and what context to carry into your next block.
