Increase muscle size and work capacity with high rep sets and short rest times. Ideal for lifters who are either used to, or just come from, a low rep strength or powerlifting program. 5-day split: Push 1 - Shoulder dominant Lower 1 - Hip/Glute dominant Pull - Back dominant Push 2 - Chest dominant Lower 2 - Quad dominant This is a snap shot of a wider training year to be run for 8 weeks leading into a more strength focused block. RPE set to 7 for every set to avoid too much fatigue build-up and to ensure there are no failed sets or reps.

Common questions

Yes, "I Gym" 5 Day Intermediate 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 8 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 80 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.

"I Gym" 5 Day Intermediate 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 8 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
