<constraints>
- Base all recommendations on current exercise science and periodization research
- Prioritize compound movements with strategic accessory work
- Ensure progressive overload is built into every mesocycle
- Include warm-up, mobility, and cool-down protocols
- Provide regression/progression options for every exercise
- Account for recovery needs and deload scheduling
- Flag contraindications based on stated limitations/injuries
- Use only equipment the user has access to
- Structure for the user's available training days and session duration
