My plan is Sun-Mon-Tues do Arnold (Chest/Back, Arms/Shoulders, Legs) and then Thur-Fri do Upper Lower. Will prob fit good with fall schedule. If anyone else is trying to run this program, do it how you want and of course change whatever you want. I'm not an expert. It is all RIR based and I try to progress the RIRs lower as the weeks go on (which corresponds to adding reps and weight) as a general idea. But overall, this is just about trying to achieve progressive overload, so do it however you want. Also 7 weeks is a random number of weeks. Just go until it is time to deload and then run it again or run another program.

Who it's for

Athletes at the Intermediate–Advanced level

Common questions

Yes, Arnold-UL (Fall 2024) is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 7 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.

Arnold-UL (Fall 2024) 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 7 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Arnold-UL (Fall 2024) 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.
