The purpose of your program is to develop a balanced, aesthetic, and powerful physique with an emphasis on creating the classic "Superman" V-taper look. This involves focusing on: Upper Pecs – to build a fuller, more elevated chest appearance. Side Delts – to widen the shoulders and enhance the shoulder-to-waist ratio. Lats – to expand the back width, contributing to a broader upper body and narrow waist illusion. • Start at about 3 RIR for all lifts • For Day 2 and 4: Stick to the 2 sets and add either a rep or 5lbs to each lift in most weeks of training • For Day 1,3 and 5: Add 5lbs or 1 rep every week that you can Add a set to an exercise if it wasn't super challenging last time, and if the target muscle wasn't sore or tired in the next session.

Common questions

Yes, SUPERMAN WORKOUT PLAN by Renaissance Periodization 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 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.

SUPERMAN WORKOUT PLAN by Renaissance Periodization 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.

SUPERMAN WORKOUT PLAN by Renaissance Periodization 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.
