Attack all major muscle groups with the principles of the 5x5 method whilst maintaining the ancillary muscles. Sets are limited to 4 per exercise due to smaller muscles being worked on the same day. Feel free to replace exercises that are more suitable for you eg: Barbell Incline Press to Incline Machine press or DB Incline Press. Warm up properly and track the gains going forward. Deload after 12 weeks or if you are feeling fatigued. Rest between 1-4 minutes when doing the heaviest set. Set 4 should be a pullback set (10 less weight than set 3). Add weight once you can comfortably do 5 reps on every set.

Common questions

Yes, Superman Kryptonian Strength is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 18 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 120 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.

Superman Kryptonian Strength 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 18 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Superman Kryptonian Strength 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.
