Anyone ever use ChatGPT to make a workout plan?

I don't think it will change much at all, as most trainers are selling themselves, not their program

Have you tried sending it a video and getting your form critiqued? That's usually some of the better value of coaches in my opinion

How do you see AI affecting strength training or gym culture?

I've had ChatGPT put together some good circuit training programs.

I'm the type of person who needs a plan going into a workout, so when I'm not doing a Pen and Paper App workout its perfect as a filler.

This is the prompt I use..

“Give me a workout plan with 4 lifting days that will help me bench 315 and squat 3 plates.”

This is what it gave me..
Overview

Days/Week: 4 (Upper/Lower split)
Goal: Increase maximal strength in bench and squat
Progression: Linear progression with deloads every 4–6 weeks
Primary focus: Bench press & back squat
Secondary lifts: Overhead press, deadlift, assistance work
Weekly Schedule Example

Day 1: Upper Body – Heavy Bench
Day 2: Lower Body – Heavy Squat
Day 3: Rest or Active Recovery
Day 4: Upper Body – Volume/Overhead Press Focus
Day 5: Lower Body – Volume/Deadlift Focus
Weekend: Rest or light conditioning

Progression Strategy

Add 2.5–5 lbs per week to bench and squat.
Every 4–6 weeks, reduce volume by 30–40% for a deload week.
If progress stalls, reduce to 3x3 for 2–3 weeks, then rebuild.
Accessory Tips

Eat in a small surplus to gain strength more effectively.
Track your lifts every session.
Focus on tight setup for bench, depth and bar path for squats.
Train with proper rest times (2–4 min for compounds, 60–90 sec for accessories).

Ha yeah I was trying to mix it up and see if the AI would catch it

Im using it for my 15 week build to Ironman Wisconsin to try and qualify for Kona

It wasn't perfect but 95% of it was solid. Gave a good foundation to work with
