The rest timer is your secret weapon

Most people rest 90 seconds on a set that needs three minutes — then wonder why the top set moved slow.

Three minutes for heavy compounds, two for accessories. FORGE tracks it so you don't rush the gain.

Time your recovery

When rest drops below the target, bar speed tells the story. Give the muscle the minutes it paid for.
