Short and simple 45-75 minute (approx 10 set) workouts, for hypertrophy. The program focuses on basic movements to make the most efficient use of time. All major muscle groups are worked at least once, but emphasis is placed on the most aesthetic muscles. This program alternates between focusing on high weight and high reps, to ensure all the fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibres are activated (no fibre left behind). The program suggests a minimum of 4 workout days per week, with 3 unspecified optional rest days. All 3 'rest-days' can be skipped, at user's discretion, for accelerated progress. You may even choose to use one of these extra days to focus on some of the more neglected muscle groups, like those poor baby cows you're ashamed to make eye-contact with. Make sure to allow extra time, the first time you do this workout, so you can figure out how much weight you need to reach your rep targets. Make sure to go slow on the eccentric, and to pause for 2 seconds at the bottom of every rep (this trick will ensure you still get maximised results despite the low number of sets). I recommend resting 60 seconds between sets.

Common questions

Yes, Easy Hypertrophy (Alpha Testing) is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 4 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.

Easy Hypertrophy (Alpha Testing) 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 4 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Easy Hypertrophy (Alpha Testing) 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.
