What People Are Saying

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.
