Candito 6 Week Strength: A Guide to the Gymscore Template
The Gymscore Candito adaptation changes its workload and session structure across a short block. Early training uses more repeated work; later phases concentrate on heavier sets and a testing-oriented finish.
Who this template suits
A lifter with established squat, bench and deadlift experience who wants to follow a defined block with changing weekly demands.
When to choose another option
You want the same sessions every week, or you are not prepared to make appropriate decisions about the later heavy and testing work.
Template length
6 weeks
The summary says four to five days, but the stored week templates actually have four sessions in the earlier phases and three in the later phases. The complete saved plan lasts six weeks.

How to track and progress
Use the phase and week label to interpret the prescribed reps. A reduction in reps later in the block is a planned change in task, not evidence that the earlier work was unsuccessful.
The saved finish includes testing-oriented sessions. Review readiness, equipment and the intended attempt structure rather than treating the calendar as a requirement to attempt a maximum. Record actual completed work if a session is modified.
Common mistakes
Planning every week around the summary frequency
The detailed saved schedule changes from four to three sessions. Read the whole block before arranging training days.
Turning early volume work into a weekly max test
That changes the purpose of the earlier phases.
Treating the final week as a guaranteed result
A testing-oriented plan can organize attempts; it cannot promise a new maximum.
Questions answered
How many sessions are actually stored?
Four per week in the earlier templates and three per week in the later templates. The summary’s four-to-five-day label is broader than the saved schedule.
Is this a repeating weekly routine?
No. The six-week adaptation changes phases, rep targets and session count.
Must I test a one-rep maximum at the end?
The saved plan includes a testing phase, but whether to attempt a maximum depends on readiness and appropriate conditions. Record any alternative work honestly.
