Forge vs Bench Press Builder

Forge brings your lifting, running and daily habits together in one simple training log. STRENGTH PROGRAMS Start a cycle from proven programs: 5/3/1 and 5/3/1 Boring But Big, nSuns (4, 5 and 6 day), Greyskull LP, the Arnold Split, the Classic Menzer Cycle, Push Pull Legs and Upper Lower splits. 5/3/1 and nSuns calculate your working weights from your training maxes, rounded to the plates and barbell you actually own, in lbs or kg. Tick off sets as you go, log AMRAP reps, and watch your estimated one-rep max climb. RUNNING Follow Couch to 5K, 5K to 10K or a Half Marathon plan. Interval runs come with a guided timer that tells you when to run and when to walk. Log single runs, record race results for 5K, 10K, half and full marathon, and track your personal bests. TODAY Every day in one view: your step count from Apple Health, daily bodyweight work like push-ups and chin-ups, stretching routines, and personal challenges to tick off. PROGRESS See your consistency at a glance with activity grids for workouts, runs, step goals, daily work and stretching. Earn badges for streaks and yearly totals. Strength and running goals tick themselves off when you hit them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your training stays on your iPhone. Forge only reads your step count from Apple Health and never writes to it.
