The Psychotically Strong program follows the periodization strategy of the Alex Bromley’s 70s Powerlifter but swaps traditional barbell movements for a brutal mix of calisthenics, sandbag work, and ring training. This program builds raw, functional strength while emphasizing upper-body dominance and grip endurance. Each training day includes foundational movement patterns like dips, ring push-ups, pull-ups, and curls, ensuring balanced muscular development. Sandbag clean & presses, squats, lunges, and shoulder tosses provide unrelenting full-body tension and stability under load. Dedicated chest and arm work is incorporated for hypertrophy, ensuring both size and strength gains. This program isn’t just about lifting heavy—it’s about forging a body that’s capable, resilient, and undeniably strong. If you’re ready to train like an animal and finish with a mile run just for fun, then Psychotically Strong is for you.

Common questions

Yes, Psychotically Strong 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 is a home workout program. No gym required. 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.

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

Psychotically Strong 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.
