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 software is essentially built
on four classes ``StaticExercise``, ``DynamicExercise``, ``Day`` and
``Program``. In addition to these classes, a set of utility functions is
provided for advanced usage.
* **Pretty output**\ : The training programs are easily
saved as ``.txt``, ``.html`` or ``.tex`` files. From there you
can print it and bring it to the gym.
