Alot of back sets, for me, I gained more on my triceps and lats , I'm alittle older(57) so gains are much harder to come by

Loving this program. Great for an emphasis on intensity while keeping recovery in check. I’ve put on some pretty serious mass without having to spend my whole life in the gym. Also, it’s great for a home gym with just a rack, barbell, and dumbbells. Get in, push hard as fuck, get out, be jacked. Shout out BB.

Loving it so far. I’ve been inconsistent but every time I come back to it, the parts that I do feel like they’re always screaming when I finish. I wish there were a bit more alternative options available for me to track instead of pretending to do a set that magically has 15lbs more than usual, but otherwise it’s a solid setup.

Some of the videos linked were not the correct exercise.The cartoon style illustrations were much more useful and accurate.

Good program, few changes here and there for availability and made more sets, other than that an enjoyable program

Super simple yet effective. First time training in a long time and gained strength back quick. Already gained 8lbs in muscle. Gets a little boring with the same workouts but it’s good with my home gym.

I really enjoyed this program. I've been struggling with consistency and this helped a lot. I was able to increase the intensity in later weeks and the split works really well. I was never overly fatigued after proper rest days. Day 1 is a bit longer than the other days so set aside a little longer for that one and give adequate rest. I made minimal substitutions based on my equipment but rack, bench and dumbbells covers 99%

First time working out in over 20 years. Great for getting me back into lifting. Achieved the results in 4 weeks I was hoping to see after 8 weeks.

Really enjoying the program. Seems a perfect balance of Intensity/volume as you strive to achieve your best in every movement. The structure makes it simple to truly progress and the time it takes to complete with adequate rests feels just right. Only had to swap a few exercises due to equipment but the swaps are already configured. Many thanks to the program creator and to Boostcamp for sharing this awesome plan for free 👍
