This is just a basic program to hopefully assist in building muscle and getting stronger. Go to absolute failure on the final set of each exercise. 15 rep minimum on strength lifts as you progress closer to your 1 RM. Make smart decisions when altering hypertrophy exercises. Add in calf/ab work wherever appropriate. I recommend cardio and yoga on off days. Re-test your max on the 14th week and start over if you want, or do something else, whatever. Nothing matters.

Who it's for

Athletes at the Beginner–Advanced level
Athletes focused on gaining both size and strength

Common questions

Yes, Me So Strong is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 13 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.

Me So Strong is structured around 3 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 13 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Me So Strong 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.
