The Workshop is your program builder. Design a block from scratch or open a Blacksmith template to customize, then download as a Crucible-native spreadsheet your athletes can import in one tap.
- Cells with a faint accent ring are editable. Click any of them to edit. Use Tab to step right, Enter to drop down a row, Esc to revert.
- Each row is one prescription. Type an exercise name on the first row of a group. Subsequent rows under that day with a blank name continue the same exercise (additional sets / variations / waves). When you start a new exercise, type a new name to break the carry-forward.
- Click an exercise name to autocomplete from the canonical bank or type a custom name. The rename propagates across every week of that day.
- Click a day label to retitle (the
Day N · WEEKDAYprefix is structural. Change weeks in the Block card and days in the Schedule card). - Hover a row to see its gutter controls on the far left: ⠿ drag handle, ⧉ copy, × delete. A bold red ! there flags an incomplete row.
- Drag the ⠿ handle to reorder.The handle on an exercise’s first row moves the whole exercise (every set, every week) above or below another exercise. The handle on a later set row reorders one set inside that exercise. A bordered preview shows what you are moving and where it will land.
- Copy an exercise with the ⧉ gutter icon, then Pasteit into any day from that day’s footer. The whole exercise travels: name, sets, and every week’s loads. Pasting onto a day that already has it lands a distinct “(copy)” you can rename.
- + row adds a blank row to that day across every week. Leave the name blank to continue the previous exercise, or type a new name to start a new one.
- Cmd+Z or the toolbar Undoreverses your last 3 structural changes: row deletes, drag reorders, and pastes. (In-cell value edits use the cell input’s own undo while you’re typing.)
- A row turns red and gets a red ! marker in the left gutter until both
setsandrepsare filled (loadcan stay empty). Click the ! (or hover it, or click any cell in the row) and the toolbar tells you exactly what the row needs. - Striped
ACT.RPE/ACT.LOADcolumns are athlete-logged and read-only here. - Enter loads like
75%in any cell. Set your 1RMs in the Schedule card and the XLSX export resolves percents to concrete numbers. - Expand (top-right) opens the editor full-screen for crowded blocks.
- Use Load from CBL (top right) to resume a previous session from pasted text.
- Download your block as
.xlsxor copy the CBL from the Output panel (collapsed by default below the grid).
Workflow tip. Building a multi-day block? Fill one day completely, then copy each exercise and paste it into your other days, tweaking loads and reps per day. It is far faster than re-typing every exercise, and the drag handle lets you sequence each day however you like.

Tip: enter loads like 75% in any cell. The XLSX export resolves them against these 1RMs. CBL output stays portable.
