Trains glutes first, with real work landing on hamstrings, core.
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.
Top pause + controlled eccentric maximises glute squeeze and time in shortened position; band adds accommodating resistance.
Drive knees out against band; full hip extension at top.

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.
