Bodyweight progression

Stir the Pot

Trains core first, with real work landing on glutes, front delts.

Muscle contribution per set

Core1
Glutes.15
Front Delts.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

2down
0pause
2up
0squeeze

Swiss ball anti-extension/rotation with tempo; builds deep core stability and shoulder control.

Plank on ball; small controlled circles, brace hard, minimal hip movement.

Derived from tempo research on this movement class — Schoenfeld BJ, Ogborn DI, Krieger JW.

How Forge progresses it

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.
