This is the Prompt I used to get this routine using Grok Heavy: I am a 47 year old male I am 5'11 260lbs and have a muscular physique. My body fat is around 19% and muscle weight is around 205lbs. I am taking 600mg of Sustanon a week and 400mg of Deca a week. Help me find a workout that will maximize strength and size. I have no constraints on time The five-day powerbuilding split below is an effective program for maximizing both strength and hypertrophy, blending heavy compound lifts on "power" days with higher-volume accessory work on "hypertrophy" days. It's structured over 8 weeks, with progression built in via increasing sets, weights, and reps over time. This allows for progressive overload while leveraging your enhanced recovery (given your current regimen). Run it for 8 weeks, then reassess—deload if needed by reducing volume/load by 20-30% for a week. Key Guidelines Warm-up: Start each session with 5-10 minutes of light cardio (e.g., rowing or cycling) and dynamic stretches. Do 1-3 warm-up sets per exercise, ramping up to your working weight. Rest Periods: 3-5 minutes on power days (focus on max effort); 60-90 seconds on hypertrophy days (keep the pump and tension high). Progression: Use reps in reserve (RIR)—leave 1-2 reps in the tank per set. Add weight when you hit the top of the rep range across all sets. If you stall, drop weight by 10% and build back up. Track everything in a log. Aim for controlled eccentrics (3-4 seconds lowering) on hypertrophy work. Nutrition/Recovery: Eat in a surplus (e.g., 500 calories above maintenance) with high protein (1.6-2.2g per kg bodyweight). Prioritize sleep and mobility work. Equipment: Assumes access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, machines, cables). Modifications: If an exercise aggravates something, swap (e.g., front squat for back squat if back issues). Start conservative on weights given your size—use 70-80% of 1RM for compounds initially.

Common questions

Yes, GROK Custom Powerbuilding 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 90 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.

GROK Custom Powerbuilding 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.

GROK Custom Powerbuilding 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.
