A lot of this program is modeled after Jeff Nipard's ultimate PPL. This program is designed for those with a quick recovery time and who are willing to take almost every set past failure. You will grow esthetically and in strength. If more rest days are desired, run the first half on week 1 and the second half on week 2.

Who it's for

Athletes at the Intermediate–Advanced level
Athletes focused on gaining both size and strength
Athletes who can train 6 days per week
Athletes with access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines)

Common questions

Yes, Silas' 6 Day Powerbuilding PPL (Shortened) 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 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.

Silas' 6 Day Powerbuilding PPL (Shortened) is structured around 6 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.

Silas' 6 Day Powerbuilding PPL (Shortened) 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.
