Isolation

Pallof Press

Trains core first, with real work landing on glutes.

Muscle contribution per set

Core1
Glutes.15

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

2down
1pause
2up
1squeeze

Anti-rotation press with pauses; tempo builds core bracing and shoulder stability under offset load.

Tall posture; press out and resist rotation, return with control.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.

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