Trains side delts first, with real work landing on front delts, rear 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.
Seated strict lateral raise; tempo eliminates leg drive and keeps constant delt tension.
Lead with elbows; slight lean if needed.
Derived from tempo research on this movement class — Wilk M, Zając A, Tufano JJ.
Progresses by load in +0.5kg steps. Isolation work is where the honest-volume ledger pays off — compounds alone don't cover it.
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.
