It focuses on the four foundational compound lifts (squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press) using a Push-Pull-Legs (Optional) split, ensuring balanced development of the upper and lower body. The optional leg day allows flexibility to prioritize recovery and avoid excessive fatigue from tennis. Key Benefits: ✅ Strength & Muscle Growth – Progressive overload on major lifts ✅ Athletic Performance – Maintains power without compromising agility for tennis ✅ Flexibility & Recovery – Optional leg day to manage fatigue ✅ Balanced Training – Upper body pressing, pulling, and lower body strength work This program is ideal for athletes who want to get stronger without sacrificing mobility and endurance for their sport.

Common questions

Yes, Push, Pull, Play is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 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.

Push, Pull, Play is structured around 5 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Push, Pull, Play 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.
