Trains quads first, with real work landing on glutes, hamstrings, forearms and more.
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.
Trap bar deadlift with controlled eccentric; more quad and less shear than conventional for many lifters.
Neutral grip; hinge or slight squat pattern depending on height.
Derived from tempo research on this movement class — Schoenfeld BJ, Ogborn DI, Krieger JW.
Progresses by load: +2.5kg the session after you earn it. The engine watches your reps and how hard the top set felt before adding.
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.
