A physical training system includes a weight device having a weight retainer which receives one or more weight rods. The weight rods are selectively and removably retained within the weight retainer. A platform receives the weight device and carries one or more weight rods not selected and retained within the weight retainer. A software application is provided in communication with the platform or weight device and configured to drive selection and retention of the number of weight rods to be retained within the weight retainer. A database of selectable workout segments is also provided, wherein the software application selects and executes a selectable workout segment from the database of selectable workout segments simultaneously with the selection of one or more weight rods which are retained by the weight device.
