🎯 Main Training Focus Low Back Safety & Strength Every workout begins with mobility and activation drills (Cat-Cow, Bird Dogs, Hip Circles, Glute Bridges) to loosen up your stiff back, especially in the mornings. Strengthening exercises like Back Extensions, Dead Bugs, Bird Dogs, and Cable Crunches build spinal stability without stressing your lumbar spine. Core Stability (Plank-Free) Replaces painful planks with safer core stability drills: Dead Bugs, Bird Dogs, Cable Crunches, Glute Bridge variations. These train anti-extension and anti-rotation strength, protecting your spine during heavier lifts. Hamstring Development Direct hamstring work 4+ days per week: Leg Curls, Trap Bar Deadlifts, Pull-Throughs, RDL variations. Daily hamstring stretches with yoga strap for flexibility — prevents tight hamstrings from pulling on your low back. Balanced Hypertrophy All major muscle groups trained in hypertrophy rep ranges (8–15 reps). Push (chest/shoulders/triceps), Pull (back/biceps), Legs (quads/glutes/hamstrings), plus Full Body days ensure symmetry. Mobility & Recovery Built In At least two days (Day 3 & Day 7) focus heavily on walking, mobility, and stretching. Recovery tools (foam rolling, massage gun, heating pad) are part of the program to manage stiffness. 🔑 In Simple Terms This program is designed to: Relieve stiffness in your lower back through daily mobility. Strengthen your hamstrings and glutes so they take stress off your spine. Build core strength without planks, using safer alternatives. Support muscle growth (hypertrophy) across your whole body. Balance training and recovery, so you get stronger without aggravating your back.

Common questions

Yes, Low back Pain + Hypertrophy Recovery is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 8 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 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.

Low back Pain + Hypertrophy Recovery is structured around 7 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 8 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Low back Pain + Hypertrophy Recovery 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.
