321 Bench — A raw strength program built on the proven top-set/back-off method, forged from heavy triples, brutal doubles and singles followed by high-volume back-off work. You’ll attack the bench press from every angle with a primary lift/secondary lift approach — competition bench, pause bench, and other heavy variations — backed by targeted accessory work to build pressing power and total upper-body dominance. This is pure, unapologetic strength training designed to make your bench press unstoppable and your upper body a weapon that destroys everything in its path.

Common questions

Yes, 321 bench 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 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.

321 bench 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.

321 bench 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.
