Trains core first, with real work landing on lats, front delts.
These are the weights Forge's volume audit actually computes with — deliberately conservative, so compounds don't masquerade as full coverage. A 0.5 means a set counts as half a set for that muscle: meaningful help, not a replacement for direct work.
Extended eccentric rollout maximises anti-extension demand and core lengthened-position tension; controlled return prevents lumbar compensation.
Scale with band assistance or knee variation if full ROM lost.

Progresses by reps, not weight — you earn harder sets, longer holds, or extra reps rather than plates.
Train with intention. Open Forge — it prescribes the weight, watches the reps, and does this arithmetic for every set you log.
