This 9-week, 4-day program blends heavy top sets and targeted back-off volume to drive progress in the squat, bench, and deadlift, with a focus on glute development, posterior chain strength, and upper body balance. Built for lifters who train with intent, work hard on their mains, and enjoy strategic full body sessions. Accessory work is deliberate, functional, and fun, emphasising hip strength, shoulder health, and core power to support long-term lifting and strong movement. All things that I (as an older, woman lifter) prioritise to keep myself out of the physio's office! I've selected a mix of new and old school movements to keep things interesting. Progression follows three structured waves: Build (triples) → Intensify (doubles) → Peak (singles) Each week increases top set intensity to push strength while keeping volume manageable and purposeful. Accessory RPE is set to RPE7 but can be lifter's choice. My preference is to hit each set hard, and rest well in between each set (if time permits), so you can get the most out of every rep. Ideal for women or anyone looking to lift heavy, grow glutes, and keep training efficient and focused.

Common questions

Yes, SBD + Glutes Powerbuild is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 9 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a full gym. Make sure you have consistent access before starting, since the progression model assumes you can perform the same movements week over week.

Each session typically takes around 60 minutes to complete. That estimate covers your working sets but doesn't account for warm-up or rest between sets, so budget a little extra time when you're first learning the movements.

SBD + Glutes Powerbuild is structured around 4 training days per week, with rest days built in to allow for recovery. The Boostcamp app lets you reschedule sessions if your week doesn't go to plan.

The program runs for 9 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

SBD + Glutes Powerbuild is available inside the Boostcamp app, free on iOS and Android. Once you download the app, you can search for the program by name. The app tracks all your sets and weights automatically, so you always know exactly what to do next session.
