This program follows a Doggcrapp-style upper/lower split built around rest-pause training and strict logbook progression. Training alternates Upper and Lower sessions with a rest day to manage fatigue while allowing frequent, high-quality exposure to each movement pattern. Upper sessions rotate exercise selection to bias chest or back emphasis, while lower sessions alternate squat- and press-dominant leg work. Each exercise is performed as one all-out rest-pause set, logged in Boostcamp as a single set with a defined maximum rep cap. That “one set” represents three mini-sets separated by short breathing breaks. Progression is simple and intentional: the goal is to beat the previous total reps or load while staying within the rep cap. Once the maximum reps are exceeded, weight is increased at the next exposure. The purpose of the program is to drive hypertrophy and strength through low volume, very high intensity, using planned exercise rotation to sustain progression and joint health over a 6-week cycle. Every session is brief, demanding, and outcome-focused—progress is earned in the logbook

Common questions

Yes, DC-inspired (1) is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 6 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 40 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.

DC-inspired (1) 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 6 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

DC-inspired (1) 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.
