Physics-informed coaching para sa abalang professionals ug grad students. Forge Flow. Shape Form. Fit Life. Custom 3–5 h/semana plans. Joint-friendly defaults. Coach-led, AI-assisted, science-grounded — gitukod nga mu-fit sa tinuod nga busy nga kinabuhi.
I-isa ang bar — sa hunahuna, sa ilawom sa bar, ug sa kinabuhi.
Pinakapaspas mu-improve ang performance kung ang movement, hunahuna, ug palibot ay tinuyo nga gidesinyo — dili pasagdaan sa swerte. Among saad: walay grind culture, physics-informed progress lang. Boring, repeatable strength nga mu-fit sa imong tinuod nga kinabuhi.
Work. Grad school. Heavy lifting. Family. Your time is the budget, not your motivation. Tim built FormForge while finishing his PhD, defending his thesis, and prepping for a sanctioned meet — so the system you train inside is the same one he tests on himself.
Joint-first exercise selection. Athlete-safe language. Trends over scores. "If the week feels like too much, your first 'win' is trimming, not quitting — this plan is meant to bend with your life."
Sa FormForge, ang "forge" usa ka aktibong pag-umol ug pagsagol sa siyensya ngadto sa performance sa tawo. Among gibalhin ang Physics, Physiology, ug Psychology ngadto sa Fab Form, Fit, ug Flow — pinaagi sa tinuyo nga desinyo, evidence-based feedback, ug coaching nga nakasentro sa tawo.
Bar path, joint sequencing, force timing. Engineered for power and durability. Larger moment arms require more force to move the same weight — so we measure them.
Body × task × context. Objectively measured, coach-interpreted. Different lifters need different geometry — your hips, your levers, your fatigue floor.
Mental rhythm, motivation, confidence. Designed through pacing, feedback loops, and habit formation. Not accidental. Forged.
To forge is to actively shape through intention. We synthesize three disciplines (Physics, Physiology, Psychology) into three outcomes (Fab Form, Fit, Flow). Not gimmicks. Not generic. Engineered.
Both tracks are joint-respectful, science-backed, and built for busy brains. Your assessment tells Tim which to start with — and you can layer the second once your base + schedule feel steady.
Joint-first exercise selection. Built around lever-friendly variations. Beginner-safe, return-from-break ready, joint-tweak respectful.
For those with a base and a bit more flexibility. Snatch + clean & jerk on purpose, layered on top of your strength engine. Patient enough to practice with a PVC pipe? You're our person.
Kadaghanan sa tracker apps mga reps lang ang gi-log. Gisusi sa FormForge ang lihok — joint by joint, frame by frame — dayon imapa kini sa peer-reviewed biomechanics para tama ang imong gibansay sa sunod nga session.

I-lookup sa athletes ang Job IDs, makita ang queue status, ug makadawat og results via email/PWA push kung gi-tap sa ilang coach ang “DONE.” Gipadagan sa Apps Script + URLFAM PWA.
Matag metric sa FormForge gi-map sa validated research. Among gi-cite ang OpenCap (Stanford NMBL, PLOS Comp Bio 2023), ang BlazePose 33-landmark topology (Google Research), ug recent VBT meta-analyses bahin sa velocity-load profiling.
“I got more from one upload than three months of generic programming. The phase markers exposed exactly where my dip-drive was leaking power.”
“The 3D ghost overlay let my athletes see what ‘good’ looks like. We replaced 40% of cueing with the player.”
“Finally a tool built by someone who actually understands physics. The asymmetry index caught my hip imbalance before my PT did.”
I-drop ang link sa imong set. Mubalik si Tim og 90-second voice review nga naa'y top 3 nga ayohon. Limited sa 10 / semana.
Tulo ka peer-reviewed pillars ang gisalig sa FormForge: markerless 3D motion capture, browser-grade pose estimation, ug validated velocity-based training. Ania ang among gigamit, ngano, ug asa basahon ang source.
Tim is a PhD Candidate in Applied Physics & Materials Science and Engineering. After watching too many lifters injure themselves chasing kilos with bad mechanics, he built FormForge so any athlete with a phone could see their lift the way a scientist sees it: as force, leverage, and geometry over time. No gimmicks. No medical claims. Just objective data, delivered with athlete-safe language.
Open-source markerless motion capture using two iPhones. Validated lower-extremity kinematics with RMSE 2.0–10.2° vs. marker-based gold standard.

coach.formforge.fitness)Sabta ang nganong sa likod sa matag unsaon. Ang nagatubo namo nga glossary nag-decode sa biomechanics sa likod sa matag lift — aron mas paspas makatudlo ang coaches ug mas sayo ma-self-correct sa athletes. Mga entries gisulat ni Tim (PhD Candidate · UPWC gold) ug gi-review batok sa current literature.
The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the line of action of a force. Crucial for understanding leverage and resistance in lifting.
Nganong importante:
A longer moment arm means more torque required, making a lift feel heavier. Optimizing moment arms improves efficiency and reduces injury risk.
Aligning joints (shoulder, hip, knee) vertically over the bar or line of force for maximum stability and force transfer.
Nganong importante:
Efficient joint stacking minimizes energy leaks and allows you to lift heavier weights with less effort, preventing unnecessary strain.
A subjective scale (typically 1–10) used to measure the intensity of your effort during a set, helping to autoregulate training.
Nganong importante:
RPE allows for flexible programming based on daily readiness, preventing overtraining and ensuring consistent, effective stimulus.
The trajectory of the barbell during a lift. Optimal bar path is often a straight vertical line over the midfoot.
Nganong importante:
An efficient bar path minimizes horizontal displacement, reducing wasted energy and increasing the amount of weight that can be lifted.
The act of creating intra-abdominal pressure by taking a deep breath and expanding your abdomen against your core muscles.
Nganong importante:
Proper bracing stabilizes the spine and core, protecting against injury and allowing for more efficient force transfer during heavy lifts.
Gradually increasing the stress placed on the musculoskeletal system to stimulate adaptation and continuous improvement in strength or size.
Nganong importante:
It's the fundamental principle of strength training. Without it, your body won't have a reason to get stronger or bigger.
Usa ka grip diin ang kumagko gipiit sa bar una ug ang mga tudlo gibalot ibabaw sa kumagko, naka-lock sa pwesto. Standard sa snatch ug clean.
Nganong importante:
Non-negotiable sa Olympic lifting. Gipugngan sa hook ang bar nga molingi gawas sa kamot panahon sa pull — kung wala kini, mawala ang peak velocities ug malangay ang elbows sa catch.
Ang dungan nga full extension sa ankles, knees, ug hips sa ibabaw sa pull. Ang labing importante nga power moment sa snatch ug clean.
Nganong importante:
Halos tanan Olympic-lift miss naggikan sa dili kompleto o out-of-sequence triple extension. Gisukod sa FormForge ang timing offset sa tulo ka joints — ang "TES" reading.
Ang signature metric sa FormForge: angular velocity (deg/s) sa ankle + knee + hip extension panahon sa second pull, peak-detected gikan sa BlazePose landmark trajectories.
Nganong importante:
Naa correlation ang TES sa vertical bar velocity sa snatch ug clean. Ang pag-track sa TES sa mga sessions nagpakita kung ang imong "explosive" intent kay tinuod nga naghimo ug speed — o gibati ra nga paspas.
Ang hip-crease height sa ilawom sa receive position sa snatch, clean, o overhead squat. Mas ubos nga catch = mas gamay nga bar travel = mas bug-at nga load posible.
Nganong importante:
Ang catch depth mao ang pinakabaratong free strength gain sa weightlifting: ang pag-develop sa mobility para makadawat ug 5 cm nga mas ubos pwede magresulta sa 5 kg nga dugang sa bar nga walay extra force production.
Body-weight-adjusted total nga gigamit sa IWF aron itandi ang lifters sa lain-laing weight classes. Gikalkulo gikan sa total sa athlete (snatch + clean & jerk) ug coefficient nga naka-index sa current world records.
Nganong importante:
Kung dili na nimo mausab ang weight class, ang Sinclair magsulti kung kusgan ka na ba — independent sa bodyweight drift. Kini ang metric nga nagdesisyon sa "best lifter" awards sa kadaghanan sa meets.
Programming base sa bar speed (Mean Propulsive Velocity, MPV) imbis fixed %1RM. Gipakita sa bag-o nga meta-analyses nga ang VBT mo-match sa PBT sa strength samtang gipauswag ang daily regulation.
Nganong importante:
Magbag-o adlaw-adlaw ang tinuod nimong 1RM (tulog, stress, fueling). Sa VBT, pasagdan nimong magpili sa load karon adlaw ang bar speed — busa magpabilin nga bug-at ang heavy days ug honest ang recovery days, nga walay coach sa kwarto.
