π§ Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A mobile app that generates progressive overload routines specifically tailored to the exact weight plates and bars a user owns.
- A video library of alternative shoulder exercises that use an adjustable bench and EZ curl bar to target deltoids without causing joint pain.
- A community-driven marketplace or guide for DIY home gym modifications to increase the versatility of basic weight sets.
