This program will help you gain size and strength over a 12 week span with basic gym equipment: power rack, barbell, dumbbells, bench, gymnastics rings, etc. No cable machines necessary. I would recommend following the program as written, but it is very customizable to make it your own. Swap out whichever exercises you dislike for ones that suit you better; e.g. dips bother your shoulder, so you swap dips with bench press, dumbbell press, floor press, etc. After completing the program, attempt a new one rep max on each lift that you choose to progress. Rinse, repeat and run again with different exercises for unlimited gains. This program can be done 3 or 4 days per week. Running a 3 day split will make the program go past the 12 week mark, however.

Common questions

Yes, Girth & Tonnage 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 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.

Girth & Tonnage 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.

Girth & Tonnage 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.
