BLOC Coach Manual

Start a Session

Open bloc-system.netlify.app/semiprivate.html
You'll see the coach grid — every member on your floor
Each card shows their current Week and Day (like "Week 3 · Day A")
Tap a name to open their workout

Find a Client's Program

Tap the member's card → see their full workout for today
Exercises, sets, reps, and rest times are already loaded
Whatever's on the screen is what they should be doing

Coaching 4-5 clients at once? Keep the coach grid open. Bounce between members by tapping the back arrow → next name. Everything auto-saves.

Help a Client Log Their Workout

Member opens the app on their own phone and searches their name
They log one weight per exercise — their heaviest set
Even if they used different weights across sets, only the best weight goes in
They tap Mark Complete on each exercise as they finish
When done, they tap Finish Workout — this moves them to the next day/week automatically

Rule of thumb: One number per exercise. Heaviest weight wins.

Track From the Coach Spreadsheet

Open the spreadsheet from the home screen
See all members, their current week, and every weight logged
Log or correct weights for any member, any week
Hit Complete Session to advance a member if they forgot

Coach view vs. Member view: Both write to the same place. Whatever you enter as a coach shows up instantly on the member's screen — and vice versa.

Edit an Exercise

In the spreadsheet, tap the exercise you want to change → pick a new one
Change applies only to that member — not everyone
Member sees the new exercise instantly on their next login
Old exercise history is kept — the new one starts a fresh line in their progress
Use this for: injuries, modifications, or progressing to a harder version

The Progress Window

In the member's journal, tap 📈 Progress at the top
See a chart for every exercise → weight over time
Shows Start weight → Current weight → Gain (like "+15 lb")
Shows PR (personal record) for each movement
Use it during check-ins to show members how far they've come

The Rest Timer

Fires automatically when a member marks a set complete
Slides up from the bottom of the screen counting down
Member can tap Skip to dismiss early
Disappears on its own when the time hits zero
Rest time is set by the programmer — don't worry about it

Use the AI Assistant

Tap ✦ AI Assistant from the home screen
Use it for: swap an exercise for a specific member, or look up what program someone is on
Examples:
- "Give Karen a goblet squat instead of back squat"
- "What's John Brady doing today?"
It shows you exactly what it's about to do → tap Apply Changes or Cancel
Nothing changes until you confirm

Do NOT Do This

Do NOT tap Generate New Cycle — this rebuilds every program for everyone
Do NOT tap Generate on any single protocol
Do NOT edit sets, reps, rest, or tempo in the program editor
Do NOT reassign members to different codes without asking first
Your job is coaching clients. Programming happens somewhere else.

Quick Fixes

Member can't find their workout? Have them search their exact name on the home screen (capitalization doesn't matter)
Workout looks wrong? Check their code assignment in the spreadsheet
Member forgot to finish last session? Hit Complete Session in the spreadsheet
Need to change an exercise for one person? Do it in the spreadsheet — never in the program editor
