Program Goal: Build strength and muscle while decreasing bodyfat utilizing Squat, Bench, Deadlift. This program should only be run by someone who is injury free, in good health and familiar with performing compound lifts as well as a variety of exercises. Programs don't require fancy exercises to see results. This program utilizes basic lifts and can be modified for home gym use or gyms with limited equipment. Schedule: This program consists of 3 mesocycles lasting 4 weeks each for a total of 12 weeks. Each workout should take 60-90 minutes depending on individual rest time, if cardio is completed that day and if you are a yapper at the gym. Lifting 5x a week Cardio 3x a week 2 full rest days For your safety and best results, select a weight that is challenging, but allows you to complete no more than the prescribed reps with good form. Think 1-2 RIR for each exercise. Cardio can be completed on rest days instead of lifting days to better suit your schedule but do not change order of lifts or exercises. Rest time varies based on individual recovery time. Average rest time is 1-2 minutes but for heavier loads anywhere from 2-5. Listen to your body. Use proper form. Stretch and perform mobility / foam rolling at the end of each session. Expect results to vary based on experience level. A beginner will see more drastic results whereas someone experienced will see sustainable fine-tuning of their body composition. Nutrition: This program should be followed while at maintenance calories or a slight deficit if you wish to lose fat at a faster rate. Macro Calculation: Maintenance Protein = 1g per pound Carbs= 1.5g per pound Fat= 0.3g per pound Bodyweight x 1 = g protein / day Bodyweight x 1.5 = g carbs / day Bodyweight x 0.3 = g fat / day If you choose to run this program please tag @clairityfitness or @ironconductfit on instagram so I can support your journey!

Common questions

Yes, Total Recomp is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 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 90 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.

Total Recomp is structured around 5 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Total Recomp 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.
