Tough figuring out how to fit in everything into a reasonable time frame, but once I figured that out, the results have been surprising. I opted for an upper+handstand day, lower day, and handstand+mobility+core day rather than the splits recommended. Also cut down the warmup, using different pieces of the warmup on different days. (E.g. I skip wrist and shoulder prep on leg days) I like to train, so spreading a 3x/week split into 6 sessions, with each movement batch trained twice per week is working very well. Managing fatigue and overuse in this program is crucial!

Love this program. I changed a few exercises to meet my limitstion in tools. I skipped the handstand part for my first try as i am recovering from a hand injury. Swapped dips with pike press since i didnt have p bars or chairs and could use the extra shoulders. Added a weight vest for more versatility.

This is an excellent program. Been following for 7 weeks and noticed a huge difference. Additionally the prescribed warmup and stretches leave me feeling fatigued but not stiff and sore. Looking forward to furthering my gymnastics skills.

Just buy the book… the pre-made programs on here are just the reddit recommended routine. If it costs the same as the book i wish it came with the pdf of the book too. Since its just the RR program then its not worth $50, go buy the book

I am using this program in conjunction with the book. It’s a great program with good strength gains and backed up with knowledge about training. Using the basic version of Boostcamp is too limiting because you can’t record progress with training and save exercise progressions.

Solid program, but it takes time (initially 3h, now 1h45). But that is due to good warm up and cool down that I felt was necessary. The bent arm / straight arm split keeps things interesting. Maybe some of the level 1 exercises need to be broken down further to have a successful and safe start - you still need to give it some thought and but that is fine. Support by the author has been almost immediate when needed.
