Candito for Squat/Deads Greg Nuckols 3x/bench slapped in place Well thought out "accessories" for bodybuilding. IMPORTANT: Percentages of Close Grip & Stiff Legged Deadlift are based off of your Bench & Deadlift 1rm. Enter the SAME 1RM as their respective lifts. + Small deload on squats for Week 5 after DL AMRAP. It is optional to do squats on that day + There is no week 5 of the GN program so I've added a max day in which you can try your new projected 1RM (or 97.5% of) based off of your week 4 AMRAP. You will need to eat and sleep a lot. Reduce chest/tricep volume if you are going into workouts sore. Can replace close grip bench with pause close grip larsen press

Common questions

Yes, Candito + GN Bench Powerbuilding Program 5 Weeks is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 5 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 60 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

Candito + GN Bench Powerbuilding Program 5 Weeks is structured around 7 training days per week, with rest days built in to allow for recovery. The Boostcamp app lets you reschedule sessions if your week doesn't go to plan.

The program runs for 5 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Candito + GN Bench Powerbuilding Program 5 Weeks is available inside the Boostcamp app, free on iOS and Android. Once you download the app, you can search for the program by name. The app tracks all your sets and weights automatically, so you always know exactly what to do next session.
