I specifically created this Program for People who are serious about their training. It has all the time-tested exercises that are proven to work. And It's H A R D. If you are used to chatting or texting between sets this probably isn't for you. Program Split: Week 1 PUSH-PULL-LEGS-UPPER-LOWER Week 2 UPPER-LOWER-UPPER-LOWER-ARMS/SHOULDERS How to Run : Week 1 PUSH-PULL-LEGS-REST-UPPER-LOWER Week 2 UPPER-LOWER-REST-UPPER-LOWER-ARMS/SHOULDERS Progression Main lifts:( Incline Bench Press, Squat,Stiffed Legged Deadlift, OHP) Start with the 62.5% of the 1Rm and add 5lbs(2.5kg) every week or just add reps until you reach the high end of the prescribed rep range. Other lifts: Just try to progressively overload over time, while sticking to the rep ranges. And remember: LAST SET BEST SET!

Common questions

Yes, BIGGER-STRONGER 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 100 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.

BIGGER-STRONGER 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.

BIGGER-STRONGER 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.
