Phase 2 This weightlifting plan alternates between hypertrophy and strength-focused training each week. During hypertrophy weeks, aim for higher reps and sets to promote muscle growth, while strength weeks focus on heavier weights with lower reps. Key points for beginners include prioritizing progressive overload, proper form, and recovery. Consistency is crucial for optimal results, along with incorporating variety to prevent plateaus and maintain motivation. Stick to the program schedule, gradually increase weight/resistance, prioritize form, rest, and nutrition, and stay consistent for success.

Common questions

Yes, Muscle Builder: Strength & Hypertrophy 2 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 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.

Muscle Builder: Strength & Hypertrophy 2 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 10 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Muscle Builder: Strength & Hypertrophy 2 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.
