Perfect program for silly little powerlifters. Especially made for people who struggle to stand up from the toilet (poverty squatters). The program is composed of 5 weeks of shenanigans and tomfoolery (volumizing weeks), followed by a deload on week 6 so our movey gritties (joints) can recover, then 3 weeks to lock in and focus for the big weights.

Who it's for

Athletes at the Intermediate–Advanced level
Athletes focused on gaining both size and strength
Athletes who can train 4 days per week
Athletes with access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines)

Common questions

Yes, Guide to being a silly lifter is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 10 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 90 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.

Guide to being a silly lifter 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 10 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Guide to being a silly lifter 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.
