i'm re reading PttP, and this schedule seems rather complicated, by comparison. although, objectively, not unreasonable by any stretch.

I just prompted it with "minimalistic" and it gave a one lift per day program.

I would never have guessed the program was "Pavel inspired" if asked blindly.

No kettlebell just Russian twists!

It's funny, you can ask for a specific program and it will give you something close but reps and sets are off. Even 5/3/1 which is available on tnation is off. So maybe best not to rely on it for medical advice yet.

“Pilates” as if Pavel would ever utter the word Pilates in anything other than pure disgust like “foam roller”

You have to train it.

I got it to make a pretty decent Olympic weightlifting program with undulating periodization after I coached it enough.
