Let’s be honest — this program isn’t about “functional fitness” or “longevity” or any of that polite wellness fluff. No, Broadside Protocol exists so you can walk into a room and immediately ruin the posture of every man within a ten-foot radius. Their shoulders slump, their confidence withers, and suddenly their shirts feel one size too tight in all the wrong places. You, meanwhile, are flexing without flexing — traps high, arms thick, V-taper slicing the air like a damn stealth bomber. This isn’t exercise. This is a declaration of war against mediocrity. Broadside Protocol is the six-week rite of passage that takes you from “hey bro, do you lift?” to “excuse me sir, are you allowed to have those boulders in public?” The workouts are short, brutal, and efficient — like being mugged by Arnold in 1975 but somehow thanking him afterward. You’re not just training muscles; you’re forging architectural masterpieces of meat. Your back becomes a glider wing. Your arms become twin battering rams. Your traps? Let’s just say they enter the room five seconds before you do. By the end of Broadside Protocol, don’t expect congratulations. Expect suspicion. Strangers will assume you’re smuggling watermelons under your sleeves. Dogs will bark at you because your silhouette breaks the laws of nature. Even gravity will try to get in your way — but gravity doesn’t lift, so screw gravity. You’ll stride into Week 6 looking less like a man and more like a 1970s VHS cover that someone’s mom hid in the back of a closet. And that, Captain, is exactly the point.

Common questions

Yes, Broadside Protocol 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 garage 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.

Broadside Protocol 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 6 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Broadside Protocol 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.
