PHUL (Power Hypertrophy Upper Lower) is a comprehensive, 4-day training program designed to maximize both strength and muscle growth. Combining the best of powerlifting and bodybuilding, PHUL hits all the key elements: heavy compound lifts to build raw strength and higher-rep accessory work for muscle size. Whether you’re looking to add size to your frame or build serious strength, PHUL provides a balanced, proven structure to get you there. Key Features: • Power and Hypertrophy Split: Two days focused on heavy, strength-based training and two days dedicated to hypertrophy to build muscle mass. • Compound Movements: Big lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows form the foundation of the program. • Customized for Progression: Progressive overload is at the core, with clear instructions to help you increase weight and reps week by week. • Upper-Lower Split: This structure allows you to train frequently and effectively, hitting every muscle group twice a week for maximum gains.

Common questions

Yes, PHUL Power: Strength Meets Size is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 16 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 70 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.

PHUL Power: Strength Meets Size 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 16 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

PHUL Power: Strength Meets Size 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.
