[[WORK IN PROGRESS]] Hybrid GZLP/Calisthenics programme to effectively build strength, muscle and cali skills. After running GZLP for 6 months with great results then 6 months of pure calisthenics I have decided to try and cross-programme the two. This programme also takes partial inspiration from the athlete oriented High-Low ethos of programming. The core difference to standard GZLP is that OHP has been swapped for Pull-ups (Weighted) (for the 4 sets of 3-5 format) and Bodyweight Pullups (for the 3 sets of 10 format) to emphasise more calisthenics oriented pulling. Furthermore, the supplementary T3 exercises (Lat Pull-down and Bent over Rows) have been swapped for EZY bar Curls and OHP. Tier 1: A primary compound lift (Squat, RDL, Pull-up, Bench) done for 5 sets of 3 reps Tier 2: A secondary compound lift done for 3 sets of 10 reps Tier 3: Accessory exercises (Curls, OHP) done for 3 sets of 10-15 reps at light weight When to add weight? For T1 and T2 add: - 2.5/5kg every workout until set failure. - Then keep weight and change to either (6x2 for T1) or (3x8 for T2) For T3 add: - If you can do 20-25 reps add weight - If you fail lower weight by 15% and try again Core Values - Legs get hit everyday. - Power, speed and hypertrophy are all equally important. - Day 5 is light aerobic work with mobility work or HIIT, conditioning - No workout is longer than 1-1.5hrs max. - Consistency over intensity. - Switch is up. Keep it fun. Consistency will follow.

Common questions

Yes, NO COMPROMISE - GZCL/CALI 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 70 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.

NO COMPROMISE - GZCL/CALI 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

NO COMPROMISE - GZCL/CALI 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.
