Volume Dependent Intensity Programming is Cody Lefever's training principle founded on reaching high effort in each set rather than having sets that are too easy and sets that are too hard. This is an ideal program for offseason, efficient training that is based on basic GZCL principles. The concept is to do Max Rep Sets with a given weight and taking note how many reps are completed in a total of 3 sets. The number of reps determine the volume progression. For T1: 15+ reps = add 10 lbs 10-14 reps = add 5 lbs For T2: 30+ reps = add 10 lbs 25-30 reps = add 5lbs 20-24 reps = same weight For T3: Progress same as hypertrophy exercises For more info: http://swoleateveryheight.blogspot.com/2016/11/volume-dependent-intensity-progression.html?m=1

Common questions

Yes, GZCL VDIP 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 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.

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

GZCL VDIP 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.
