I always felt like my legs needed a bit more workload so I decided to create my own program based on what I liked from others. It's also meant to be heavy on the back but prioritize form and tempo in every exercise!!! If needed make some accessory work on a fifth day, like more abs, forearms and neck, or if you prefer go for a light run or do mobility work. If you do it have fun, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Edit: I had to lower the volume since it wasn't letting me go as hard as I wanted and rest properly. So I had to edit the program for less volume. I was wrong but anyway I hope if you do this program it works for you and you're always welcome to modify it accordingly.

Common questions

Yes, Legs and back focused is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 16 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 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.

Legs and back focused 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 16 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Legs and back focused 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.
