This is a Old School Bodybuilding program. Heavily inspired by the silver era. So of course this program is a full body. Inspired by bodybuilders like Leroy Colbert, Steve Reeves, Reg Park and more. I use machines and newer/ Meta exercises combined with old school barbell and dumbbell exercises. For Intermediate lifters. We use simple double progressions here. Example: reps range is 5-8 Week 1- 5 reps Week 2- 6 reps Week 3-7 reps Week 4-8 reps Week 5- add weight and back to 5 reps. Workouts are long and grueling but the rest time let's you relax. Enjoy this beast of a program.

Common questions

Yes, Old School Bodybuilding is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 12 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 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.

Old School Bodybuilding 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Old School Bodybuilding 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.
