This is my 5-day/week PPL split built around developing the aesthetic proportions most guys want. It emphasises shoulders, upper chest, and the V-taper. I recommend running a double progression on all lifts. (This means you only go up in weight once you can do the max reps for all the sets of an exercise while practicing good form and tempo.) Don't neglect a deep stretch between every rep. This builds more muscle than people realize. The superset on day 5 is optional, I just added it to keep things interesting. Feel free to run it like normal or add more supersets where you see fit. I recommend taking a rest day after day 3 and another after day 5.

Common questions

Yes, Neeko’s Aesthetic PPL 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 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.

Neeko’s Aesthetic PPL 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Neeko’s Aesthetic PPL 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.
