5 Day Powerlifting Offseason 1.1

We’re not trying to break any records. Maintain just enough heavy work so we don’t forget how. The rest is stability and hypertrophy. This program is not easy

This is an offseason program. Don’t do this program to prep for meets. This program is designed to make your powerlifting muscles bigger, target weak points, improve core stability, balance, and bracing. It will also improve your capacity for work (hard work). You should rest much less between sets than during normal powerlifting heavy training. (It’s ok to go before you’re 100 ready). It’s 12 weeks of the same thing. Feel free to swap workouts if your weak points change or you just feel like doing something else. Your accessories and non-SBD movements should be something you are weak at. I have (relatively) weak shoulders and have weak glutes, so my workouts are centered around that for the moment.

Yes, 5 Day Powerlifting Offseason 1.1 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 90 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.

5 Day Powerlifting Offseason 1.1 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.
