Smash & Pump 4-Day Upper/Lower Minimalist is one part Conjugate and one part HIT. This is designed for those that can lift 4 times per week but want/need to keep sessions to under an hour. There’s also a super-minimalist option built into this - Exercises with notes saying *Optional Exercise* can be left out if even the standard minimalist template is too long for you. Unlike most of what you'll find on Boostcamp, Smash & Pump is NOT a program. Rather, it's a template that allows you to select all of your own exercises. You'll find that all of the exercises listed initially are Placeholders, to be replaced by you. There's a relatively detailed document that provides background information on the template, and gives general guidance on what exercises are and are not appropriate for each slot. Given the nature of this template, a sound understanding of the basics of programming, and experience performing many different types of exercises will definitely be helpful. This is likely not a good starting point for someone that's newer to lifting. Documentation URL: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KWaltu3HryCVba0O6lHoZ9sfEeJ_HR563BKC8IFsWoY/edit?usp=sharing

Common questions

Yes, Smash & Pump UL Minimalist 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 garage 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 50 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.

Smash & Pump UL Minimalist 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Smash & Pump UL Minimalist 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.
