This is for skateboarders or other action sport athletes who want to protect their bodies from the impact and punishment of slamming. This is not a programme to transfer skills form the gym into your sport. You get better at skating by skating, you get better in the gym by getting stronger. Being stronger will help you skate for a long time to come. Build body armor. Build strength. Lower days focus on athletic and explosive leg based movements. Jump hard. Land soft. Upper hypertrophy days should be pushed hard. Don’t focus on the number of reps so much, push for failure on the last sets.

Who it's for

Beginners new to structured strength training

Common questions

Yes, Body Armour for skateboarders 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.

Body Armour for skateboarders 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.

Body Armour for skateboarders 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.
