Tricep Dips

Trains triceps first, with real work landing on chest, front delts.

Muscle contribution per set

Chest.35
Front Delts.25

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.

Tricep and chest dip with tempo; controlled eccentric protects shoulders, increases time under tension.

Elbows track back; only go as deep as shoulder comfort allows.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by load: +1.25kg increments, earned session by session from your rep quality.

Swap it for

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.
