Because this is a three day / week template and the volume is not as high as BBB, you can push the conditioning during this phase. There is a lot of supplemental work in Full Body 1000% awesome so this is ideal for those that can handle a lot of sub-maximal volume but don't have time to lift four days / week. Depending on how you feel you can increase the total number of 85% supplemental sets from 5 to 7 or 8, as long as bar speed does not suffer Note: you can switch the press and bench press on this template. You can use 5/3/1 or 3/5/1 (here its 3/5/1) 3 days of hard conditioning (optional) 3 days of easy conditioning For a complete mesocycle: Weeks 1-3 Leader cycle 1 - This template Increase TMs +5lbs upper body / +10lbs lower body Weeks 4-6 Leader cycle 2 - This template 7th Week deload Increase TMs +5lbs upper body / +10lbs lower body Anchor cycle of your choice

Common questions

Yes, 5/3/1 Full Body 1000% Awesome is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 3 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a garage 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.

5/3/1 Full Body 1000% Awesome is structured around 3 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 3 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

5/3/1 Full Body 1000% Awesome 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.
