Bodyweight progression

TRX Row

Trains lats first, with real work landing on upper back, biceps, core and more.

Muscle contribution per set

Lats1
Upper Back.45
Biceps.40
Core.35
Rear Delts.25
Traps.20
Forearms.20

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

Suspension row; tempo builds upper back and core stability with bodyweight angle adjustment.

Lean back to increase difficulty; pull chest to handles, squeeze shoulder blades.

How Forge progresses it

Progresses by reps, not weight — you earn harder sets, longer holds, or extra reps rather than plates.

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.
