A PHUL workout app that puts the weight up for you
BulkForged is a PHUL workout app that puts the weight up for you. Pick PHUL from the list of programs and it builds the four routines and the schedule: Upper Power, Lower Power, Upper Hypertrophy and Lower Hypertrophy. Power days open on heavy lifts at 3 to 5 reps; hypertrophy days run 8 to 12. Starting weights are light on purpose, so type the weight you really lift in your first session and it becomes your target. Hit the top of the range on every set and the weight goes up next time; short of it, the weight holds while your reps climb. Targets that move with you are part of Coaching, which is free to try.
The app's PHUL is shorter than most versions: three lifts a day. Add accessories in the routine editor and they progress the same way.
On a new install, tap "Skip — I'll build my own routines" under the starter plan to see the programs. Later, they're under Workouts, Named programs.
BulkForged is not affiliated with or endorsed by any program author.
It runs on 60+ Garmin watches too: log your sets on your wrist, and the session lands in the app on your phone.
