This program is designed to build strength and muscle mass through progressive overload. By consistently increasing weights while maintaining a 15-10 rep range, it ensures continuous muscle adaptation and growth. The structured split focuses on compound movements, muscle isolation, and time under tension, maximizing both hypertrophy and functional strength. Approach: - Always increase weight in every set. - Select a weight that brings you to failure within 15 to 10 reps. - Do not exceed 15 reps—if you can, increase the weight. - If you can't increase the weight, push for more reps within the 10-15 rep range.

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.

Progressive Overload Strength & Hypertrophy is structured around 6 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.
