This is a supertotal program based on the specifications of Glenn Pendlay olympic weightlifting and powerlifting coach. The only things given are the main lift's order and the goals of each day. Basically this is my interpretations of the program including progression and accesories --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the basic layout of the days: Day 1: Squat & Bench session / Medium / Day 2: Snatch & Clean and jerk session / Light / Day 3: Front Squat & Push press session / Heavy / Day 4: Snatch & Clean and jerk & Deadlift session / Heavy / --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Between the days it is recommended to take a rest day and only work out every second day for optimal recovery. The first workout is a somewhat heavy powerlifting day where we want the golden middle path between intensity a technique practice. For this day I chose a linear periodization, a classic 5x5. We start with 70% and every week bump up the number by 1-2% ideally. You could go for more but that would mean we reset more frequently. Your choice really. The second day is a light oly day relly focusing on technique and volume. I would recommend complexes based on the weakness of your lifts. For Snatches I really like Snatch into overhead squats and for Clean and Jerks (from now on CnJ) Clean into Front Squat into press. Third day is a heavy day where we front squat and push press. You could swap the push press to overhead press it's personal preference. This day will help with both of our goals where we develop leg and pressinf strenght, while we improve our front rack position and overhead strenght. This day we do the topset backoff set method. We do a topset where we do a soft max of 1-3 reps. We basically do around 92-100% of our true max based on how we feel that day. When we backoff we take back 10-15% and do a couple set of threes. Day 4 is the heavy oly day. We basically go up on the instensity and do around 6-10 singles of 90%+ on both of our lifts --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our accesories will be a push and pull split alternating every day. We purely focus on bodybuilding while trying our most of mimick our 5 main movements as much as possible.

Common questions

Yes, Chosen Undead: A Supertotal Program 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.

Chosen Undead: A Supertotal Program 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Chosen Undead: A Supertotal Program 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.
