Please Note the notes added through the program they help dictate weight and goals for each exercise. Every 4-week block add weight to the main movement (on top of the given %). (5lb for upper body, 10 for lower body.) So for week 9, you will be adding 20 total lbs to the lower body main movement. The percentage maxes are based on a training max, not a true max this should be about 90% of your true max for intermediate lifters. For novices/beginners, this doesn't really matter IMO. The first 2 exercises of each day are by far the most important this could be considered the minimum dose of training if you don't have enough time for a full session. You NEED to go hard on the big compound for this to be effective. your amraps need to be difficult. push yourself.

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.

5/3/1 Program Plus Extra Accessories. 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.
