FAQs

Is this for beginners?

Forge 4 is built for people who have been training for a while and want real structure. If you're brand new to lifting, start with something foundational first.

What makes this different from other programs?

Most programs give you a template. Forge 4 gives you a system. Each phase builds on the last with a clear purpose, so you always know where you're going and why.

How is this different from Forge 3?

Forge 3 is three days a week, built for athletes with a tighter schedule. Forge 4 adds a fourth training day and more volume, so if you have the time and the recovery capacity, Forge 4 is the next step up.

How long is each phase?

Each phase runs four weeks. Long enough to actually adapt and see progress, short enough to keep the training fresh and the intensity high.
