Soma · Body
Every rep is a conversation with your body.
Most apps aren't listening.
270+ exercises. Supersets, circuits, drop sets, rest-pause, myo-reps, tempo sets. Auto PR detection across 7 formulas. Structured programs with progressive overload baked in. This is what a training log becomes when it actually understands training.
The science
What the research actually says.
Not bro-science. Not influencer wisdom. Peer-reviewed evidence.
Progressive overload is the #1 predictor of hypertrophy.
Not muscle confusion. Not tempo tricks. Systematically adding load over time. If your app doesn't track it, you're guessing.
Schoenfeld et al., J Strength Cond Res 2017
1RM estimation varies up to 15% between formulas.
Brzycki says one thing. Epley says another. The truth depends on your fiber type, fatigue, and training age. One formula isn't enough.
LeSuer et al., J Strength Cond Res 1997
Sleep deprivation reduces strength output by 5-10%.
You didn't lose strength overnight. You lost sleep. But your workout app doesn't know that. Ours does.
Knowles et al., Sports Med 2018
Training to failure isn't always optimal — it depends on volume and recovery.
More isn't more. Intelligent volume management is. The research is clear: context matters more than effort alone.
Vieira et al., Sports Med 2021
Your workout app is a logging tool. Not a forge.
Strong tracks your reps. Hevy tracks your sets. JEFIT gives you a program.
None of them know you slept four hours, skipped breakfast, and injected your TRT yesterday.
They're logging tools. A logging tool doesn't know when to push and when to pull back.
A forge does.
SomaForge connects your training to your sleep, your nutrition, your medications, your bloodwork. It sees the whole athlete. Not just the barbell.
Capabilities
Built for how you actually train.
Not a generic workout logger with a fresh coat of paint. Every feature answers a real training problem.
Exercise Database
270+ exercises across 13 muscle groups. Each with primary and secondary targets, equipment requirements, and movement patterns. Search, filter, or let a program pick for you.
Advanced Set Types
Supersets, circuits, drop sets, rest-pause, pyramid sets, cluster sets, myo-reps, and tempo prescriptions. Not bolted on. Built in from day one.
PR Detection
Four PR types — weight, reps, volume, estimated 1RM — computed across seven formulas: Brzycki, Epley, Lander, Lombardi, Mayhew, O'Conner, Wathan. You'll know you hit a record before you feel it.
Structured Programs
42 structured programs with built-in progressive overload. PPL, Upper/Lower, Full Body, and more. Track day-by-day progress, see what's next, never wonder if you're doing enough.
Templates
Twelve system templates for every split. Or build your own. Save a workout you love, reuse it forever. Drag exercises, reorder sets, customize rest periods.
Analytics
Volume curves over weeks. Muscle distribution heatmaps so you can see imbalances. Streak tracking. Timing analysis. The data your logbook could never give you.
The Forge Advantage
Training doesn't happen in isolation.
Soma connects to every other pillar of SomaForge. Your training data isn't siloed. It's integrated.
Training Readiness
Before you touch the bar, Soma checks your sleep quality from Hypnos, protein intake from Trophe, and medication timing from Pharmakon. If you slept four hours and skipped breakfast, you'll know before your warm-up set tells you.
Data-Informed Programming
When your lifts stall, Nous doesn't just blame your programming. It checks if your protein dropped, your sleep tanked, or your TRT injection was late. The forge sees the whole picture because every pillar feeds into one place.
Body Composition Context
Metron tracks your weight, measurements, and progress photos alongside your volume curves. Strength going up while bodyweight stays flat? That's recomposition. Strength dropping while weight drops? That's muscle loss. The numbers tell the story.
Row-level security on every table. Your training data stays yours.
TRT, GLP-1s, peptides, and more. Because your meds affect your training.
No trial traps. No credit card upfront. Pro when you're ready.
The barbell doesn't care about your excuses.
Neither does the data.
Stop logging sets into a void. Start training with a system that knows your sleep, your nutrition, your protocol, and your history. The forge remembers everything.
You are the smith and the metal. We just built the forge.
