4-5x/week upper/lower program. progressive overload is the cornerstone of building strength/muscle. most efficient way to progressive overload is via "double progression". a rep range (e.g. 3-5) would be an example of double progression: session 1: 135lbs x3 session 2: 135lbs x4 session 3: 135lbs x5 session 4: 135lbs x6 session 5: 145lbs x3 session 6: 145lbs x4 and so on... pick the rep range that works for whatever implement you are using. if the cable has 5lbs jump, i prefer 4-6. if it requires a 10lbs jump, ill use 4-8. (dumbell/barbell/cable/machine/etc, focus on weight implement doesnt matter) attempt progress every session, but dont expect it. stay at 0-1rir and try not to fail whilst going for another rep (it happens). keep all your sets within ~4-10 reps, ~0-2rir.

Common questions

Yes, Mery's 4-5x/week Hypertrophy Training 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 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.

Mery's 4-5x/week Hypertrophy Training 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.

Mery's 4-5x/week Hypertrophy Training 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.
