This program rotates from upper lower twice per week to 4 fullbody sessions, changing the main trained attribute from base development to size gain to speed development to strength followed by a week of high repetition blood flow or pump training week. Unlike a typical approach to increasing recovery by doing a concurrent program, training with high exercise rotation or sticking to submaximal work, this program instead takes a page out of Bugenhagen's approach of working on one lift per week. We instead will focus on one attribute per week, partly to prevent overreaching/backsliding and partly to prevent boredom from a monotonous split. The program has very low strength training volume and so it lends itself to heavier sessions.

Who it's for

Intermediate athletes ready for a structured program
Athletes focused on gaining both size and strength
Athletes who can train 4 days per week

Common questions

Yes, BS3 gen. II is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 4 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 120 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.

BS3 gen. II 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 4 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

BS3 gen. II 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.
