This is the second phase of the original Super Squats program. This is a 6 week progressive 5x5 program that is meant to increase strength and conditioning under heavier loads, while also allowing your body to de-load and promote muscular recovery after the grueling 6 week heavy 20 rep breathing squats. This program is meant to be run in between the original Super Squats. Like the original program, start lighter with smaller increases in weight so the 6 weeks is sustainable. Goals will vary based on recovery and strength. Examples can be a 5lb increase every week for each exercise, 5lb increase 2x a week, 5lb increase every workout, or a mix of all three. No matter what there should always be an increase somewhere. Remember, the goal of this program is not necessarily pushing PRs, it’s to allow your body to rest and recover and avoid serious fatigue, allowing you to get ready to complete another cycle of the 20 rep Super Squats.

Common questions

Yes, Super Squats 2nd Phase 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 is a home workout program. No gym required. 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.

Super Squats 2nd Phase 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 6 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Super Squats 2nd Phase 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.
