Example: Deadlift to an RDL/SLDL, Squat for a Hack Squat or a Belt Squat, etc. Compounds lifts to build overall strength throughout the whole body. Cardiovascular stamina is to make sure you don't get tired when you are in the middle of a fight. On cardio day, you can do any sort of cardiovascular activity except for running, which has its own day. Grip day is to build the forearms and to build grip strength. MYRO REPS or REST PAUSE Agility is to make you athletic and elusive. Recovery/Mobility (rest days) is to make sure you can move and recover. You can go for a walk, do yoga, meditate, play a sport, go shooting or whatever, just keep this day light and loose for your mind, body, and soul. Warm-up: Wenning warm-ups are recommended for 3x25; do not go heavy on the warm-ups. Perform olympic lifts only if you can do it properly.

Common questions

Yes, Anti-Hero 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 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.

Anti-Hero 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.

Anti-Hero 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.
