BulkForged

Hello, Product Hunt.

BulkForged is a strength-training app that decides what you lift next. Every set you log feeds a progressive-overload engine: add reps to the top of your range, then the weight goes up. And every decision it makes is written to a log you can read and overrule.

The part that is different

Most workout apps record what you did. BulkForged decides what comes next. It also shows you how it decided.

Each adjustment lands in a change log with the number it was decided from: the lowest working set you completed, the top of your rep range, and what changed because of it. If you disagree, you edit the target and the app advances from your number next time.

A progress screen headed "Your training over the last 12 weeks", open at a Progressive overload list of adjustments from the Sep 30, 2026 workout: Incline Dumbbell Press reps 10 → 11 @ 45 lb, Tricep Pushdown reps 12 → 13 @ 35 lb, and Barbell Bench Press weight 215 lb → 220 lb. — Every target the app moved, with the workout it read them off

A workout in progress. The exercise card reads "Barbell Bench Press, 4 × 5 @ 215 lb, 3–5 reps · RIR 1, Best: 230 lb" beside a drawing of the lift, above a set entry for set 1 of 4, with a target of 5 reps @ 215 lb and a Next button. — Your next target, already decided before you walk in

Front and back body silhouettes shaded red, amber and green under a line saying 7 muscle groups are still recovering and the rest are ready, above a list that marks lats as fatigued (trained today, 6 sets this week, ready about Friday) and similar rows for triceps, shoulders and chest. — Per-muscle recovery, computed from the sets you logged

The honest part

Double progression is about sixty years old and it is not complicated. This is not a new training method. It is bookkeeping: the per-exercise, per-routine arithmetic you would otherwise do in your head at 6am while someone waits for the rack. If you already run your progression well on paper, you do not need this.
