This 4-day powerlifting-focused strength program is designed to increase maximal strength in the squat, bench press, and both conventional and sumo deadlifts. Built around a 5x5 progression model, it emphasizes compound movements, progressive overload, and proper recovery to drive consistent strength gains. In addition to the main lifts, the program includes targeted accessory work for triceps, shoulders, back, legs, and biceps to improve weak points and overall muscular balance. Special grip training is integrated to enhance deadlift performance without relying on straps. The structure limits each workout to six exercises to maintain high intensity and focus, while preventing unnecessary fatigue. This program is ideal for intermediate lifters who want to build a stronger total and improve performance in powerlifting-style training.

Common questions

Yes, BSD + SUMO is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 5 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 120 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.

BSD + SUMO 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 5 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

BSD + SUMO 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.
