Muscle gain + Fat loss Day 6-7: Rest or Light Cardio Focus on recovery or low-intensity cardio like walking or cycling. Nutrition Tips 1. Caloric Deficit: Aim for a slight deficit (300-500 calories per day) to lose fat while retaining muscle. 2. High Protein Intake: 1.6-2.2g protein per kilogram of body weight. 3. Healthy Fats and Carbs: Include essential fats (avocado, nuts) and complex carbs (oats, rice) to fuel workouts. 4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, especially during workouts. Cardio • Include 2-3 sessions of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or low-intensity steady state (LISS) cardio per week to aid fat loss without impacting recovery.

Common questions

Yes, Muscle gain/Fat loss - 5 day 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.

Muscle gain/Fat loss - 5 day 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.
