THE INTERVENTION: MEDICAL CLEARANCE & FOUNDATION PHASE

(FOR OLD INJURIES, OBESITY, & CHRONIC HEALTH MARKERS)

CRITICAL WARNING: If you are over 100lbs overweight, recovering from recent surgery, or managing chronic disease, STOP. You are not ready for the Bacement Bootcamp yet. We need to stabilize your biological foundation first. This page is your roadmap to getting cleared for the grind.


1. THE BIOLOGICAL AUDIT: GET YOUR LABS DONE

Before you push your heart rate into the red zone, you need to know what’s happening under the hood. You cannot manage what you do not measure. Take this list to your doctor and get a Full Metabolic & Hormonal Panel.

  • Hormonal Health: Total & Free Testosterone, SHBG, Estradiol. (Low T makes recovery impossible and fat loss a nightmare).

  • Metabolic Markers: HbA1c (Blood Sugar), Fasting Insulin, Thyroid (TSH, Free T3/T4).

  • Lipid Profile: Cholesterol, LDL/HDL, and specifically Triglycerides.

  • Micronutrient Status: Vitamin D3, B12, Magnesium, Zinc, and Ferritin (Iron).

  • Inflammatory Markers: hs-CRP (This tells us how much "fire" is in your joints and arteries).

Goal: Work with a practitioner to get these markers into "Optimal" ranges, not just "Normal" ranges.


2. THE INJURY PROTOCOL: ADAPTIVE MOVEMENT

If you have "blown out" knees, a "slipped" disc, or a "frozen" shoulder, the standard Bootcamp moves will break you. We use the Law of Pain-Free Range of Motion.

  • The 1-10 Pain Scale: If any movement causes pain higher than a 3, you stop.

  • Regression over Progression: * Instead of Push-ups: Do Wall Presses or High-Angle Suspension Presses.

    • Instead of Squats: Do "Box Squats" where you sit back onto a chair and stand up without using your hands.

  • The "Isometric" Bridge: If your joints can't handle movement, we hold. We do wall sits and plank holds to build structural tension without grinding the joints.


3. THE OBESITY STRATEGY: WEIGHT MANAGEMENT FIRST

If you are carrying significant body fat, the "weighted vest" is already built into your body. Adding more intensity can lead to joint collapse or cardiac stress.

  • Step 1: The Walking War. Your "Bootcamp" for the next 30 days is walking. Aim for 8,000 to 10,000 steps daily. No running. No jumping. Just consistent, low-impact movement.

  • Step 2: Nutrition Intervention. Move immediately to the [Traditional Omnivore: Maintenance Mode]. Do not try a "Crash Diet." We need to lower your systemic inflammation by removing processed sugars and seed oils.

  • Step 3: Hydration & Electrolytes. Obesity often masks massive mineral deficiencies. Ensure you are taking the Magnesium Glycinate from the [Tactical Stack] to support heart health and sleep.


4. HOW TO "EARN" YOUR BOOTCAMP STATUS

You are in the "Pre-Flight" phase. You move to the Bootcamp Fitness Assessment ONLY when:

  1. Doctor Clearance: Your physician has reviewed your labs and cleared you for high-intensity resistance training.

  2. Pain Stabilization: You can move through a full day without "flaring up" old injuries.

  3. Baseline Mobility: You can get up off the floor and back up again without assistance.


ACTIONABLE STEPS: START THE RECLAMATION

  1. Schedule the Bloodwork: Call your GP today. This is non-negotiable.

  2. Audit Your Kitchen: If it’s in a box or a bag, it’s gone. Start the Traditional Omnivore shopping list.

  3. Start the Walking Log: Use the [Post 40 Gains Command Center] to track your daily steps.

"We don't leave anyone behind. If you're starting in the basement of your health, we’re going to build the stairs one step at a time."
