Peaking program. Can be ran by itself or after 1-2 cycles of The Pit V2. You can use the Amrap test on week 6 for your e1rm or add another week to test your 1rm. Same principles from the Pit and The Pit v2 when it comes to adding weight each week. The secondary movements for each workout can be replaced by targeted variation with the same rep range and sets. For example. Bench first day your secondary movement will be the OHP, or you can do OHP Pin press, Tempo, Pause, etc. this will go for every secondary movement. It is not need but can help get past weak points. The volume is adjusted automatically to make up for the intensity of the main movement. There is hardly any accessories to allow for extra recovery and intensity in the Big 4. DO NOT DELOAD DURING THIS.

Common questions

Yes, The Mountain 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 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 40 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.

The Mountain 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.

The Mountain 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.
