Transform your physique with our meticulously designed hypertrophy program, aimed at maximizing muscle growth and performance. This comprehensive 5-day split targets every major muscle group.Here’s how the week breaks down: Day 1: Shoulders + Triceps + Calves Day 2: Back + Biceps Day 3: Chest + Side Delts Day 4: Legs + Calves Day 5: Chest + Back + Shoulders + Arms Note ⚠️ If you want to insert a 1-week deload in at any time, do it! Some simple ways to determine if this is the right call: 1. Performance decrements: less power, less explosiveness in lifts (bar moves slower), less endurance, etc. 2. No desire to go to gym persisting in your mind 3. Having a hard time recovering (excessive soreness after the first 4 weeks) When you deload you can follow any week in the plan, but you have to make the following 2 adjustments: 1. 20% of volume must be removed from day 2. No sets are to be taken to failure. You must use an RPE of 8 or below, nothing higher. Commit to this program, push your limits, and watch your physique transform into its peak performance state, achieving maximum gains and unparalleled strength.

Common questions

Yes, The Punisher is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 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.

The Punisher 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

The Punisher 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.
