Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that generates progressive overload routines specifically tailored to the exact weight plates and bars a user owns.
  2. A video library of alternative shoulder exercises that use an adjustable bench and EZ curl bar to target deltoids without causing joint pain.
