How Coaching Works: Video-Reviewed, Every Week
Your program changes from the evidence in your training, not from a fixed template or a calendar alone.
The coaching loop starts with the plan, but it does not end there. Each week produces information about technique, recovery, confidence, and readiness.
A real training week
You train from a clear plan, record the sets that matter, and add the context a video cannot show: effort, sleep, pain, confidence, and schedule constraints.
Review before revision
Cris reviews the lifts and the check-in together. A technique note can solve the next repetition; a programming change should solve the pattern behind it.
Access between check-ins
Questions are handled while they are useful. The aim is to keep one small uncertainty from turning into a week of guessed training.

[PH] The plan finally responded to how I was actually lifting that week.
