**Base LP Strength Progression** is a comprehensive 12-week linear progression program designed to build foundational strength through consistent progress. The Rules: 1. Add 10 pounds to squats every Monday. Wednesday's weight should be 65% of Monday's and Friday should 85% of Monday's weight. 2. Add 5 pounds evey workout to bench press, overhead press, pendlay row, and power cleans. 3. Add 10lbs to deadlift every workout. Deadlifts progress fast so adding 10 lbs might be too light. You can try adding 15 to 20 pounds for a few progressions until you get stuck. Then drop 10 pound and continue to move up in 10 pound increments. 4. Chin ups and Dips move to weighted when you are able to complete all sets with 15 reps. They then become 3x5 adding 5 lbs a workout. 5. If you are unable to complete the prescribed number of reps do not stop. Take as many sets as you need to complete the minimum number of reps. If you fail a weight two workouts in a row, drop back to the last completed weight, and make the 3rd set an AMRAP. When you are able to get 10 or more reps in the AMRAP set, move up to the next weight in your next workout.

Common questions

Yes, Base LP strength Progression 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.

Base LP strength Progression 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Base LP strength Progression 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.
