About — ProtoComp

Every fitness app I tried handed me the same plan it handed everyone else. It didn't care how I slept, how I was recovering, how I actually responded to a block — or anything else going on in my training. The programming was generic. The macros were guesses. My coach was flying blind between check-ins because no platform surfaced what was really happening week to week.

I built ProtoComp because coaching should adapt to the athlete, not the other way around. Trackers existed — but they logged. They didn't change the workout. They didn't move the macros. They didn't tell a coach when something drifted. And almost none of them worked for athletes who fall outside the "average natural lifter" box the templates assume.

ProtoComp is opinionated software. We don't think your coach should guess. We don't think your plan should ignore how you're recovering. And we don't think serious software should pretend every athlete is the same.

What we believe

Five positions we don't budge on.

ADAPT TO THE ATHLETE, NOT THE TEMPLATE

Your plan should respond to how you slept, how you're recovering, and how you're actually progressing — not to week numbers on someone else's spreadsheet. Underneath the adaptive layer sits exact, repeatable math for progression and nutrition, so the numbers stay honest even on the days the guidance gets creative.

CITATION OR SILENCE

Guidance is grounded in published research, not invented confidence. Where the evidence is thin, we say so out loud instead of papering over it.

PRIVACY IS NOT OPTIONAL

You can export every byte of your data at any time. You can delete your account and we cascade-delete every row. We don't sell anything to anyone, and we don't train models on your data. Ever.

BUILT FOR EVERY ATHLETE

Natural lifters get the complete app — nothing useful is locked behind compound features. GLP-1 users, enhanced athletes, and everyone in between get software that accounts for their reality instead of pretending it doesn't exist. One template for everyone is exactly the thing we set out to replace.

NOT A PHARMACY, NOT A CLINIC

Compound-aware is not compound-selling. We don't prescribe, diagnose, treat, source, supply, or sell anything — and we never will. When a question is clinical, the app tells you to take it to your clinician, because that's where it belongs.

Built by someone who wanted coaching that adapted.
