FAQ
Good questions. Straight answers.
Do I need an account or subscription?
No. The core app works as a guest. A free account will be optional, and Pro will add personalization, programs, and cloud progress. Buying the deck does not require or unlock Pro.
How will Pro subscriptions work?
Planned pricing is $3.99/month or $29.99/year, with a seven-day trial for eligible new subscribers. Paid plans will renew automatically unless canceled under the store’s displayed terms. Purchase, restore, and management will be handled through the app’s Apple or Google store integration once available.
How do I build a workout?
Draw one Mission, one Work card, and one Conditioning card. Choose Ranch Hand, Foreman, or Landowner and use that level consistently. You may add one optional Extra before starting.
Is there scoring?
No. Barrel & Brawn is deliberately simple: complete the three required cards. The Extra card remains optional.
What equipment do I need?
The deck uses practical training tools and odd objects such as a barrel or keg-shaped load, buckets, weighted sacks, pavers, kettlebells, ropes, sleds, and sturdy platforms. Individual cards specify the movement and can be scaled or substituted safely.
Do I have to train outdoors?
No. The deck is designed with yards, hills, driveways, garages, and open ground in mind, but many cards can be used in a gym or other safe training space.
Is it appropriate for beginners?
The three levels provide different workloads, but every user should start light, learn proper technique, inspect equipment and routes, and stop when control deteriorates. Consult a qualified professional when appropriate.
What does the app save?
The app stores the active workout, preferences, and workout history locally on the device. A private backup can be exported and restored when changing phones. Guest data may be lost if the device is reset or the app is removed. Pro cloud backup and sync are planned; they are not available yet.
Does the app replace the physical deck?
It can generate complete workouts on its own, but the physical deck offers the tactile draw-and-train experience. Both use the same cards and simple workout structure.
When will the deck and app be available?
Launch links will appear on this page when Amazon, Apple App Store, and Google Play listings are live.
