Here’s a 4-day hypertrophy-focused workout week adapted from the original 5-day Upper/Lower/Pull/Push/Legs split. The design prioritizes muscle tension, progressive overload, and high-effort sets while keeping exercises per day to 7 or fewer and sets per exercise to 3-4. Key Adjustments from 5-Day to 4-Day Split: Combined Pull/Push Days: Merged the original Pull and Push days into dedicated hypertrophy-focused sessions. Reduced Volume: Limited to 7 exercises/day with 3-4 sets per exercise to maintain recovery. Strength-Hypertrophy Balance: Days 1-2 focus on heavier loads (6-8 reps), while Days 3-4 prioritize volume (8-15 reps). Intensity Techniques: Last sets are taken to failure (RPE 10); lengthened partials/myoreps are included where noted. Notes: Progressive Overload: Follow the double-progression method (add reps, then weight). Substitutions: Use the guide’s alternatives if equipment is unavailable. Rest: 2-3 minutes for compounds, 60-90 seconds for isolations. This preserves the program’s core principles while fitting a 4-day schedule.

Common questions

Yes, 4 Day Hypertrophy - Full Body 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 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.

4 Day Hypertrophy - Full Body 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.

4 Day Hypertrophy - Full Body 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.
