The purpose of this program is to train every muscle group directly 2 to 3 times per week with moderate training volume and high intensity. This allows for very intense workouts (every set is either taken to failure or 1 rep shy from failure for some compound movements). This program is suitable for any intermediate or advanced trainee who wants to get as jacked as possible. For beginners it may be too much. This is a template that has to be adjusted for individual goals. It is possible to incorporate ab work and neck work if needed (during leg days for example) and it is possible to also include a vertical press for the shoulder and arms day for better shoulder development if needed. For people who struggle to train to failure or very close to failure on every set, they will likely benefit from doing slightly higher volume.

Common questions

Yes, 5 Days Gentleman’s Split is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 16 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 90 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.

5 Days Gentleman’s Split 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 16 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

5 Days Gentleman’s Split 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.
