This is a beginner to intermediate program. This program is specifically designed for people who work Week On/ Week Off or FIFO. Especially for those who have limited time in their "On weeks" and are restricted in their ability to workout. I travel for work during my On weeks and had trouble finding a program that worked for my schedule. I am NOT a fitness professional. Just someone who has been weightlifting for a few years and wanted a routine that works for me- and maybe works for someone else!

Who it's for

Beginners new to structured strength training
Athletes focused on gaining both size and strength
Athletes who can train 6 days per week
Athletes with access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines)

Common questions

Yes, Week On/ Week Off is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 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.

Week On/ Week Off 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Week On/ Week Off 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.
