Named programs are ready-made training templates you can apply in one tap instead of building routines from scratch — a starting point, not a replacement for the engine that drives your progress every session after.
Each card shows the program's name, how many days a week it runs, and a plain-language description of the split. Apply this program creates (or updates) its routines and schedule automatically; anything else you've already set up — other routines, other scheduled days — is left exactly as it was.
The moment a program is applied, it's an ordinary routine like any other: BulkForged's own double-progression engine takes over from your very first session, adjusting weight and reps the same way it does for anything you built by hand. The library is deliberately generic — every program is modeled on the structure of well-known training styles (a heavy top-set day, for example) rather than reproducing any named or trademarked program, so you're getting the shape of a proven approach with BulkForged doing the actual progression.
Applying a program again later updates the same routines and schedule rather than duplicating them, so re-applying to reset a day you've since edited is safe.
