Uses the 5/3/1 program to progress big three lifts. One set of each of the three is performed per week to maintain progression without solely focusing on them. The rest of the volume can be made up of exercises which also progress the aesthetic aspect of lifting. You will notice that legs are integrated into upper body days. This is to ensure sufficient volume with limited training days. This is particularly useful for students who don't have that much time to train but still want to get big. With regards to recovery I haven't layed out the training days in any particular order. Use your best judgement and find what spacing and organisation of them works for you and your schedule. If you have any further questions you can reach me on my discord server here: https://discord.com/invite/XxCWzYaW

Common questions

Yes, Strength and aesthetics by Bonje 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 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.

Strength and aesthetics by Bonje 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 4 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Strength and aesthetics by Bonje 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.
