This program respects both the potential and limitations of natural bodybuilding, providing a clear roadmap for novice and intermediate athletes ready to take their physique to the next level through hard work, consistency, and intelligent training principles. Day-1 : Leg Day (Hamstring Dominant) Day-2 : Push Day (Chest Dominant) Day-3 : Pull Day (Back Dominant) Day-4 : Active Rest Day Day-5 : Leg Day (Quad Dominant) Day-6 : Torso Day Day-7 : Active Rest Day You can alternate between Cardio (e.g - 10 mins of treadmill with 1 min of running and 1 min of walking intervals) and Abdominal Work (Weighted Cable Crunches and Leg Raises on a sit-up bench) at the end of the main workout everyday. Maintain a strict form and full range of motion for all the exercises. That's what works best for us natural lifters. Full ROM and controlled reps. Not super slow reps but controlled negatives with full ROM.

Common questions

Yes, Lean Building for Natty Builders 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 80 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.

Lean Building for Natty Builders 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.

Lean Building for Natty Builders 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.
