From check-in to weekly recommendation
A 23-second walkthrough of StageLab reviewing a check-in, recommending a prep adjustment, and explaining the change.
StageLab competition prep
Your competition prep, physique progress, and posing—in one place.
Follow your prep plan, compare physique check-ins, and work on your presentation with StageLab. Keep nutrition, cardio, recovery, and progress together from offseason through show day.
Built for competitive physique athletes and prep coaches.

Built around the work of prep
Follow the whole road to the stage.
StageLab connects what you do each day with what you review at check-in, while keeping AI assistance clear and each decision open to review.
Daily tracking
Keep the daily work together.
Keep calories, macros, cardio, steps, training completion, bodyweight, sleep, energy, hunger, and fatigue in one prep record so each check-in has useful context.
AI-assisted progress review
See what’s changing.
Compare physique check-ins and follow bodyweight and waist trends across prep. When enough comparable history exists, StageLab can add AI-assisted observations about visible changes. Those observations can be incomplete and should be reviewed with the rest of your data.
Know what to practice.
Upload a short posing video for division-specific feedback on execution and presentation. Review detected poses, strengths, and corrections you can take into practice. Posing feedback is informational and remains separate from physique readiness.
Review your next steps.
Personalized weekly recommendations use check-ins, adherence, recovery, phase, and plan history to suggest holding or adjusting supported plan variables. Review the reasons and confidence before applying a change.
From offseason through post-show
Organize the road to show day.
Set your division and competition timeline, keep offseason and contest-prep records, use dedicated Peak Week planning, and organize planned meal blocks for pre-judging, between rounds, and post-show. Continue into post-show guidance without automating dehydration, water cuts, sodium manipulation, or diuretic use.
Coach Pro
Built for prep coaches, too.
Use a client dashboard, check-in review, follow-up priorities, StageLab recommendations, invitations, and client management in one workspace. Coaches retain responsibility for their decisions and client relationships.

Inside the method
How StageLab’s recommendations work
AI shouldn't have to be a black box.
StageLab combines logged progress, adherence, recovery, division context, and AI-assisted observations to produce reviewable recommendations. AI supports the assessment; it does not independently control your prep plan, and you review the reasons before applying a supported change.
This describes ongoing competition prep in the StageLab app. One-time website analyses are standalone snapshots: they do not manage a prep plan or establish a progress history.
Review how StageLab’s recommendations work
Visual readiness
Conditioning, fullness, muscularity, symmetry, and presentation are considered alongside image quality and available comparison history. Model-assisted observations pass through deterministic checks to produce an estimated readiness range for additional conditioning time.
A readiness estimate is approximate, including when it is expressed as a single number of weeks.
Progress over time
When comparable history exists, StageLab can compare the current check-in with previous check-ins, the cycle baseline, a saved reference or best look, and weight and waist trends. It considers whether the conditioning gap is closing as show day approaches.
A first check-in establishes a baseline. It cannot show a real longitudinal trend.
Body-fat context
An estimated body-fat range provides supporting context. It cannot determine stage readiness on its own. A material conflict with stronger visual evidence can lower confidence instead of forcing a seemingly certain answer.
Photo-based body-fat estimates are approximations, not laboratory measurements.
Nutrition & cardio decisions
Before suggesting a change, StageLab considers progress, readiness, adherence, recovery, phase, recent interventions, current activity, the maintenance estimate, and safety constraints. It generally favors measured changes, with broader calorie and activity adjustments possible when persistent or urgent evidence supports them.
Being behind does not automatically trigger a calorie cut.
Division-specific context
Different divisions call for different looks. Conditioning, fullness, muscularity, symmetry, and presentation are interpreted in the selected division's context, including the possibility of over-conditioning.
StageLab's division standards are coaching heuristics informed by division characteristics. They are not official federation judging criteria.
Confidence & uncertainty
Photo quality, missing history, inconsistent measurements, pose differences, and disagreement between signals can reduce confidence, widen an estimate, or lead to a more conservative result. Limited evidence may trigger a safer fallback or prevent an unsupported conclusion.
StageLab confidence reflects the quality and consistency of the available evidence. It is not a scientifically calibrated probability.

How visual readiness is reconciled
StageLab combines model-assisted visual observations with deterministic prep checks and the athlete's division context. Body-fat context supports that review; it does not overrule stronger evidence or become the sole answer.
The result generally describes an estimated readiness range. A single-week estimate, when shown, is also approximate. Conflicting signals can widen uncertainty rather than produce a precise contest-ready date.
How progress history is used
Useful comparisons need sufficiently consistent photos and measurements. When those records exist, StageLab can review the previous check-in, cycle baseline, saved reference or best look, and weight and waist trends.
It considers the direction of change and whether the remaining conditioning gap is closing relative to the time left. Missing or poorly comparable history limits that conclusion; a first check-in supplies a baseline, not a demonstrated trend.
How StageLab Estimates Maintenance
StageLab starts with an activity-adjusted formula estimate. When enough reliable data exists, it can incorporate calorie intake from completed logging days and weekly-average weight trends.
The influence of observed data depends on its quality. The system limits abrupt changes driven by noisy short-term fluctuations. This is an adaptive maintenance estimate, not measured TDEE or a precise measurement of energy expenditure.
Why StageLab May Hold Instead of Cut
Recovery, adherence, reported injury indicators, declining performance, recent interventions, and accumulated stress can lead StageLab to hold, soften, or reconsider an otherwise aggressive adjustment.
A measured intervention may need time to show its effect. Persistent or urgent evidence can still support combined calorie and activity changes. These are informational prep safeguards, not medical monitoring or a substitute for qualified care.
Peak Week Uses Separate Logic
As competition approaches, StageLab transitions from normal prep logic into dedicated Peak Week planning. Daily visual and prep context inform that review, rather than simply extending normal weekly adjustments.
StageLab does not automate dehydration, water cuts, sodium manipulation, or diuretic use.
Why posing stays separate
Your physique and how you present it are related, but they answer different questions. Ordered video frames help assess pose execution, strengths, corrections, and presentation in the selected division.
Posing scores do not feed into body-fat estimates, physique readiness, calorie or cardio recommendations, or Peak Week decisions. They do not predict judging outcomes.
