What you'll build

Body composition, on purpose.

Shred puts muscle and body composition at the center, and keeps enough strength in the plan to protect everything you build.

  • 01

    Muscle you keep

    Real hypertrophy and density work (push, pull, legs, full-body), so you build muscle and keep it while the fat comes off.

  • 02

    Conditioning that burns

    Dense, purposeful conditioning that strips body fat without living on a cardio machine. Sweat with a purpose.

  • 03

    Strength underneath

    Heavy lifts stay in the week to protect the muscle you build. Look the part and still perform.

The training week

A real week on Shred

Four sessions that stack a strength line, dense hypertrophy work, and conditioning with intent. This is an actual week from the app: Wave 2, Week 6.

  1. MonStrength line + speed-strength + push density
  2. TueAerobic mixed-modal + sprints + pull density
  3. WedRest day
  4. ThuMuscle-endurance + legs density
  5. FriSteady engine EMOM + full-body density
  6. SatMeet Yourself Saturday (optional)
  7. SunRest day

Every session ends with a density block (push, pull, legs, then full-body), so each muscle group gets hit every week.

Who it’s for

Built for real athletes with real lives

Anyone focused on looking and performing lean: building muscle, dropping body fat, and keeping the strength underneath it. Volume and loads scale to you, so it works for beginners and advanced athletes alike.

  • Body-comp focused athletes
  • Muscle-building beginners
  • Athletes leaning out
  • Ex-cardio-only converts

What you’ll need

  • Dumbbells and kettlebells
  • Pull-up bar and jump rope
  • A conditioning piece (bike, rower, or run)
  • Barbell helps, but not required

Dumbbells and a jump rope do most of the work. See the full equipment guide.

Inside the app

Sweat with a purpose

Shred is delivered daily in the Garage Gym Athlete app: briefed, timed, and logged.

  • Density work, timed

    Every density block runs on the app’s built-in timers. Hit start and chase more quality reps in the same minutes.

  • Track the transformation

    Log lifts, conditioning scores, and benchmarks and watch the trend lines move: strength up, times down.

  • The other 23 hours

    Body composition is won in the kitchen too. The daily 9 Elements checklist keeps sleep, nutrition, and recovery honest.

  • A crew that shows up

    Thousands of athletes grinding the same density blocks every day. Accountability that keeps you consistent.
