The purpose is to build muscle at a frequency that is acceptable for me, a working father of three. I was doing heavy compound lifting, and wanted a program that had less stress on my joints with a heavy focus on building muscle. So, I put this program together! This program is broken up into and UPPER, LOWER, FULL-BODY split and is designed to make sure you are adequately targeting all major muscle groups over the 6 week program. The focus is on working close to failure. Intensity is key when you can only exercise 3 days out of the week. Add weight when necessary to maintain effective sets as you adapt and progress. Exercise selection was designed to hit major muscle groups at least twice a week. Check rep range and use weight that will keep you within that range. Rest 2-3 minutes in between every set to ensure you are getting good quality sets and not super-setting. Conduct every rep with an explosive concentric and slow eccentric. DO NOT BREAK FORM Once the speed of the repetition begins to slow, you know you are approaching failure (likely 2-3 RIR). For best results, exercise on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Leave a review if you find this program helpful or if you have any recommendations! Have fun!

Common questions

Yes, 《Hypertrophy Simplified》 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 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.

《Hypertrophy Simplified》 is structured around 3 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.

《Hypertrophy Simplified》 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.
