BBL-Built by Lifting is a powerbuilding program designed for intermediate lifters who want to build serious strength while emphasizing glutes and hamstrings. This isn’t just another booty program—it’s a structured, progressive approach to lifting heavy and shifting lower-body dominance toward the posterior chain. You’ll master the three main powerlifting lifts (squat, bench, and deadlift) while incorporating bodybuilding-style accessories to develop balanced strength and muscle. Why this program? • Strength First, Aesthetics Second – You won’t find random banded exercises or fluff workouts here. This program prioritizes heavy, compound lifts with focused accessory work to enhance glute and hamstring development. • Balanced Lower-Body Training – If your quads take over every movement, this program will help shift the load, reinforcing proper mechanics and muscle engagement. • No-Nonsense Programming – Every exercise serves a purpose, with structured progression to ensure you’re getting stronger and more powerful over time. Who is this for? • Lifters who squat heavy but feel the load primarily in their quads. • Lifters who want to build stronger glutes and hamstrings without sacrificing overall strength. • Those looking for a smart, progressive, and effective program that delivers results. What’s Included: ✅ A progressive powerbuilding plan designed for strength & hypertrophy. ✅ Five strength-focused workouts per week. ✅ Squat, bench, and deadlift progressions combined with targeted glute & hamstring movements. ✅ Five weeks of mesocycle with an optional deload week ✅ No gimmicks—just real, effective training that delivers results. If you’re serious about lifting, tired of ineffective trends, and ready to build strength that lasts, this program is for you.

Common questions

Yes, BBL - Built By Lifting is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 6 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.

BBL - Built By Lifting 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 6 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

BBL - Built By Lifting 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.
