You Know the Movements. Now Build the Body.

You've done the machines. You've learned the movements. You know your way around a gym. Now you want to actually train — with a real program, real structure, and real results to show for it.
Forged is where you stop going through the motions and start building something.

This is the Set & Stone flagship program. Twelve weeks of CSCS-designed muscle building for the man who is ready to move off the machines, commit to the barbell and dumbbells, and take his training from beginner to genuinely intermediate.

Forged is built around the movements that actually build muscle — compound lifts, intelligent accessory work, and a periodized structure that progresses week over week so your body has a reason to keep adapting. The focus is physique and muscle development first, with the athletic performance principles that Set & Stone is built on woven throughout so you're building a body that performs as well as it looks.

Twelve weeks of knowing exactly what to do every time you walk into the gym. No guessing. No wasted sessions. Just progressive, purposeful work that compounds.

What's Inside:
12 weeks of fully structured programming across upper body, lower body, full body, EMOM conditioning, and dedicated mobility sessions across two progressive 6-week mesocycles. Delivered through the TrainHeroic app with an integrated timer, exercise demos, and progress tracking.

Who This Is For:
The man who has the basics down and wants to take his training seriously. You're comfortable with foundational movements, ready to commit to free weights and barbells, and focused on building real muscle and improving your physique. You want a program that treats you like an athlete, not a beginner — but doesn't assume experience you don't yet have.
