-power building/power lifting for intermediate to advanced -3-4 days a week -the Weeks are guide rails if it takes you more then 7 days to do week 1 that's fine don't feel like you need to hit all lifts prescribed each week in a week -week 9 days should be done back to back -bodybuilding exercise can be done with a lil bit of body momentum just try to pack on as much mass as possible and should be switched out if you prefer another exercise just keep the spirt i.e. if it is a triceps movement don't hit quads duh. -rest liberally in strength and peak weeks you dont want to be under recovered and get beat up from the fat loads ;} -foundation weeks can be done how ever just dont do to many workouts that prevent you from working the rest off the week take it slow but not to slow -all lifts are just prescriptions for example if your back hurts on dead's or you can only low bar squat just change it but keep the formula if flat bench is not your thing change all flat bench main compounds to some kind of horizontal pressing do not change it with a vertical press and vis versa for OHP days. if you cant horizontal press (incline counts) or hinge (deadlifts RDLS good morings etc) or vertical press (OHP Seated Press Dumbbell press) or Squat (safety bar high bar low bar any barbell squat in general) this program is not for you its not built for glass backs or pencil necks try power of 2 v2 as an entry level program and learn how to actual bench squat press and hinge Thx.

Common questions

Yes, lock and load is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 9 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 80 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.

lock and load 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 9 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

lock and load 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.
