Accessory compound

B-Stance Hip Thrust

Trains glutes first, with real work landing on hamstrings, core, quads.

Muscle contribution per set

Glutes1
Hamstrings.30
Core.20
Quads.10

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.

Tempo

Slower eccentric + top pause maximises glute contraction and lengthened-position tension; single-leg bias increases stability demand.

Drive through heel of working leg; keep ribs down.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by load in +1kg steps. Accessories build the muscle that keeps the main lifts moving.

Swap it for

Same movement pattern, same progression continuity — these are the alternatives the app offers mid-session when a rack is taken or equipment isn't there.

Train with intention. Open Forge — it prescribes the weight, watches the reps, and does this arithmetic for every set you log.
