You were counted out. Left behind. Maybe you fell off your training. Maybe you never got the respect you knew you deserved. This isn’t just another hypertrophy program—this is your four-day warpath back to dominance. Inspired by Tom Brady’s legendary 28-3 Super Bowl comeback, this split is built for those chasing muscle with a chip on their shoulder. Every rep is a response. Every pump is a promise. This is about more than size—this is about redemption. What's Inside: 🔥 4 ruthless days — chest/back, legs, arms, and delt domination 💥 High-volume, no-fluff programming designed to carve dense, defined muscle 🧠 Strategic intensity techniques (supersets, slow eccentrics, top sets) to break plateaus 🛡️ Recovery dialed in to keep you in the fight—no burnouts, no excuses 🏁 Progression built to storm the scoreboard week after week This is the split for people who train like they're behind. Because in your head, you still are. Run it if you’re ready to stop talking and start building.

Common questions

Yes, REDEMPTION: 28-3 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 40 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.

REDEMPTION: 28-3 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.

REDEMPTION: 28-3 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.
