This program is designed to improve overall physical fitness, focusing on endurance, muscle strength, and fat burning. It also promotes a sense of comfort and confidence in your body through a balanced mix of cardio, core strengthening, and stretching exercises. In addition to following this workout plan, it’s essential to focus on three key areas for optimal results: 1. Maintain a calorie deficit (500 kcal). 2. Ensure protein intake is twice your body weight in grams.(Other values, such as carbohydrates and fats, are less important) 3. Get adequate sleep and maintain strong mental focus. These factors are crucial because the program is highly challenging and will push your body to its limits. The physical and mental demands are significant, making these three points essential for sustained progress and recovery. Additional tips: It’s beneficial to complement the program with supplements such as creatine and collagen, and to drink at least 4 liters of water per day.

Common questions

Yes, Apology to myself (Shredding Edition) is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 8 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 80 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.

Apology to myself (Shredding Edition) 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 8 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Apology to myself (Shredding Edition) 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.
