How it got
out of hand.
I started using ChatGPT to generate my workout plans and started seeing results. The problem was copying and pasting huge chunks of text on my phone and losing context every session. So I built something to fix that.
That got out of hand. I went down a rabbit hole of scientific studies into periodisation and training theory. That's what the logic is built on. I built the UI for me, but as I was doing it I thought I'd treat it as a real project — something a stranger might actually use.
Forge manages proper periodised programming. Year goals, six-week blocks, weekly structure that remembers what you lifted last time. The output isn't just numbers — it's actual progress. Something tangible in the real world.
I'm rebuilding it again, properly this time, and might keep going if anyone other than my mates starts using it.
I still use it every day.
