The first of three powerlifting blocks, top triples... when progress stalls on the main lift triples recalibrate your 1RM using any online tool and repeat (ideally with Top Doubles, then Top Singles)... 8 weeks should be enough... add more if not until you stall... do the suggested percentages and RPEs for the main movements, evaluate if it was too much or too little at the end of the block. Swap out the bodybuilding moves for your favourites, targeting the same muscles, really push them trying to add more weight each time, and then don't change them for at least six months to see real gains not just neurological adaptations.... inspired by the youtube videos of Ben Johnson and Deadlift Dynamite by Andy Bolton.

Common questions

Yes, Top Triples Powerlifting Block 1 is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 8 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.

Top Triples Powerlifting Block 1 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 8 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Top Triples Powerlifting Block 1 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.
