This workout program is designed for new dads who need efficient full-body workouts to maximize muscle growth in minimal time. The program includes three full-body sessions (A, B, and C) each focusing on different movement patterns to ensure balanced development, with a blend of compound and isolation exercises. General Instructions: Frequency: Perform 3 sessions per week (Full Body A, B, C), allowing at least one rest day between sessions. Rest Time: 60-90 seconds between sets for compound movements, 30-45 seconds for isolation exercises. Tempo: Controlled reps with a 2-1-2 tempo (2 seconds lowering, 1 second pause, 2 seconds lifting). Progression: Increase weights progressively when able to complete the higher end of the rep range with good form. Volume: Volume is fine as is but if you're feeling recovered, you can add dropsets for isolation exercises (leg curls, leg extensions, bicep/tricep/lateral delt etc).

Common questions

Yes, New Dad - 3 Day Full Body Training is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 10 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 40 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.

New Dad - 3 Day Full Body Training is structured around 3 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 10 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

New Dad - 3 Day Full Body Training 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.
