Session length

Do 2-3 warm up sets prior to the 1 all out working set. Push yourself! Focus mainly on slow, controlled reps. NOT just purely moving heavy weight for target rep range. Aim for a 4-1-4 cadence. 4sec up/down, 1sec pause at top/bottom, 4 sec up/down. Rep ranges are arbitrary. Try to find a weight that will be adequate to hit failure in those ranges. If you find the weight is too light or heavy, don't sweat it. Just hit failure with that slow tempo then alter it next time. 1-3 days rest between days depending on your recovery ability. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY! Sleep and eat adequately and you'll see gains like crazy! LET'S GET AFTER IT!

Common questions

Yes, ABC Split is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 18 weeks are fully unlocked.

This program is built around a garage 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.

ABC Split 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 18 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

ABC Split 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.
