💪 Training Overview (Its Monday/wednesday/friday) (A/B/C + D/A/B + C/D/A etc) This program follows a balanced, four-day structure focused on strength, hypertrophy, and movement variation. Each day is built around a Tier 1 (T1) primary lift for maximal strength development, a Tier 2 (T2) variation or secondary compound lift for volume and technical reinforcement, and a series of accessories targeting hypertrophy and joint health. T1 — Main Strength Movement (heavy, lower rep, progression-based) T2 — Variation / Secondary Movement (moderate volume, technique focus) Accessories — Targeted muscle growth, weak point addressing, and joint balance. This setup is designed to: Prioritize progressive overload on the big lifts. Improve muscle symmetry and structural integrity. Allow enough recovery between similar movement patterns. Support both performance and aesthetics. Week T1 % (I've already loaded real % on the app) Week 1 : 1 x 1 @90% / 3 x 3 @77.5% / 1 x 3+ @77.5% Week 2 : 1 x 1 @92.5% / 3 x 3 @82.5% / 1 x 3+ @82.5% Week 3 : 1 x 1 @95 / 3 x 2 @87.5% / 1 x 2+ @87.5% Week 4: 1 x 1 @97.5% / 3 x 1 @95 Week 5: 1 x 1+ @100% / 1 x AMRAP @85% Week 6: 40% x 5 / 50% x 5 / 60% x 5 Note : Use 90% of 1RM  For Max Rep and AMRAP sets, leave 1-2 reps in the tank.  If you’re feeling run down:  Leave 2-3 reps in the tank for the rest of the week  Deload volume by decreasing all T3 work by one set for rest of week  Eat 250-500 calories more for the next two days and try to get 30-60 minutes more sleep each night that week for improved recovery  Progressing Training Max  1-2 reps at 100% of TM: Do not add weight.  3-4 reps at 100% of TM: Add 5 lb./2.5kg to TM for next cycle.  5-6 reps at 100% of TM: Add 10 lb./4.5kg to TM for next cycle.  7+ reps at 100% of TM: Add 15 lb./7kg to TM for next cycle. WEEK T2 : T2 Progression Plan : 7x3  Week 1: 60%  Week 2: 62.5%  Week 3: 65%  Week 4: 67.5%  Week 5 : 70%  Week 6 : Deload  T2 percentages are based on your main lift & bands tension included (T1)

Common questions

Yes, Gaspesian Powerhouse (GZCL) is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 6 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.

Gaspesian Powerhouse (GZCL) is structured around 4 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 6 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Gaspesian Powerhouse (GZCL) 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.
