Workout Glossary
Workouts users track in PepTalk Peptides
A neutral catalog of every training category and programming shell users log inside PepTalk Peptides.
PepTalk Peptides's Workouts tab supports every category of training the typical user logs — heavy compound work, conditioning, mobility, mind-body practices, and the periodization shells that tie them together. This glossary maps each category to the fields users most often record when they save a session.
Use the entries below as a quick reference. Each one describes what to capture, where in the app the session lives, and what other categories it cross-references. The disclaimers — no medical advice, no training prescriptions — apply throughout.
If you'd rather build a multi-week program inside the app, the PepTalk Peptides Pro tier ships a custom workout generator. The site itself is a journaling reference, not a training plan.
Aimee, PepTalk Peptides's in-app AI character, can suggest exercises from the 451-exercise library based on your goals — she does not prescribe loads or sets. See the Aimee page for the full scope. Or browse the workout library directly.
