Bred for War app icon

Headed for the App Store. No launch day carved yet.

Four weeks. Every set
carved in stone.

Bred for War is a Spartan strength program for your iPhone. Every session is already written. You show up, you lift, and you hold each finished set until gold floods the numbers and it is carved. The Greeks carved what a man achieved. So will you.

Train with the free beta

Training on Android? The program is coming to Google Play.

Free. No account, nothing to buy, and your training log never leaves your phone.

The kit. Dumbbells, a bench that inclines, a pull-up bar, a cable station, a band and a jump rope. Weights are in pounds.

Hold it to carve it

You press and hold the row, gold floods the numbers, a tick says it is ready, and lifting your finger carves it. Lift early and it rewinds, costing you nothing. A quick tap only shows "hold to carve", so a sweaty thumb between sets logs nothing by accident. If holding is hard for you, Carve with a tap in the Guide turns taps back on.

The weight remembers

Dial a weight once and every later set of that exercise inherits it. Next week it still remembers where you left off. Sets you have already carved stay carved, and a change you make later never rewrites them. The stone does not lie about what you lifted.

Every movement, shown

Every movement in the block opens its own screen, with its relief and three short cues for proper form. The movements are shown in 24 carved stone reliefs, 23 of them moving, so you are never left guessing what a movement is.

Built for a dead zone

The program, the art and every movement clip live inside the app, so all of it works with no signal and your log never needs a connection. A basement gym is exactly the room it was built for. Eight tracked lifts fill a scoreboard week over week from nothing but what you carve.

A closer look

Yours, on your phone

Bred for War has no account and no analytics. Every set you carve lives in your phone's own storage and is never sent anywhere. Backup is a file the app writes for you and you keep yourself. We never see your training, and there is no training data on our side to breach, because it never leaves your device. The full policy is at svltmk.com/bredforwar/privacy, and it is short.
