I am _very_ impressed by what the tech is capable of doing; slurping up pdfs, interpreting screenshots, and coming up with a plan.

But having gone the same route and relying on the book + Terry Laughlin's videos, I don't yet see how different this is from not using AI at all. If I'm feeling breathless, I look up the book for drills. If my shoulder aches, I look up the book for specific drills. I am very skeptical that slurping the pdf into AI would synthesize a new insight. At best it can be an excellent semantic index.

I just take screenshots from the Apple Fitness app, and add a little of my own commentary, and GPT figures out what to do for the next session, extracting the right drills, programming it correctly given fatigue, progress, etc.
