Build up those arms and legs while still training your torso. A lot of guys start off by focusing on big lifts and their arms, calves, mid and rear delts start lagging behind. This split will keep your progress on upper body compound lifts while growing your limbs. Finish every session with 20-30 minutes of low intensity cardio such as stairs or 30 minutes of 12 incline at 3mph on treadmill Do this right before moving on to a tactical focused program that involves mainly compound lifts and cardio. This program is for either torso dominant lifters or guys looking to bodybuilding right before they get into military or tactical fitness as those programs often don’t include arm or accessories.

Common questions

Yes, Big limbs💪🏽 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 60 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.

Big limbs💪🏽 is structured around 5 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.

Big limbs💪🏽 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.
