Project summary
-----------------

Streprogen (short for **Stre**\ ngth **Pro**\ gram **Gen**\ erator) is a Python_
package which allows the user to easily create dynamic, flexible
strength training programs. The main features are:

* **Sensible defaults**\ : The software comes with sensible default values for all input parameters,
giving the novice strength athlete some guidance on parameter selection.
The software will raise warnings if the input parameters are unreasonable, but will still run.
* **High level of customization**\ : Every important parameter can be changed by the user.
It is possible to create long-term training programs with several layers of periodization
if the user wishes to do so.
* **Simple object oriented interface**\ : The four main classes are ``StaticExercise``, ``DynamicExercise``,
``Day`` and ``Program``.
* **Pretty output**\ : The training programs are easily saved as ``.txt``, ``.html`` or ``.tex`` files.



Installation
-----------------
(1) The Anaconda_ distribution of Python_ 3.x from the Anaconda_ Website.
(2) Run ``pip install streprogen`` in the terminal (cmd.exe on Windows)
to install streprogen from PyPi_.
(3) Open a Python Editor (such as Spyder, which comes with Anaconda_).
(4) Look at the examples: :ref:`example_simple`, :ref:`example_intermediate` and :ref:`example_advanced`.

squats = DynamicExercise('Squats', 80, 95)
curls = StaticExercise('Curls', '3 x 12')
day = Day(exercises = [bench, squats, curls])

# Add day(s) to program and render it
program.add_days(day)
program.render()
print(program)
