This program uses the 5x5 set up utilised by many beginner and intermediate lifters looking to gain strength, and adds Hypertrophy sets and reps. Each day you will start with a 5x5 set of ONE of the following, either Bench, Deadlift, Military Press, or Squat, and superset it with an antagonistic or complimentary muscle. If time is a constraint, give the first two exercises everything you have and skip the accessories. If you have time for a full workout, strap up and get it on. As it is 5x5, the goal is to add a little weight every week, usually 5-10lbs, and push a little more. Good luck.

Common questions

Yes, PHUL B.D.S.M 5x5 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 70 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.

PHUL B.D.S.M 5x5 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.

PHUL B.D.S.M 5x5 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.
