Tracking program, few exercises, easy to follow, easy to track. Each exercise to complete systemic failure, hence the limited variation. Thick upper back and traps, full chest and big arms. Since we hit muscles very frequently we will have 2 rest days, or 1 if you like juice. Some exercises have a very slight change in RPE for joint purposes. After the last set of each exercise, you should feel your balls getting blue, if not you are still novice or don't understand failure. Max 60 sec rest. Exercises are changeable.

Yes, Upper/lower/focus for hypertrophy 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 50 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.

Upper/lower/focus for hypertrophy 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 18 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
