Strength and size. A lot of what I would consider "S tier" exercises. T1 and T2: Treat all 1 rep sets on T1 exercises as AMRAP Treat last set (or last 2 sets if ambitious) of each T1 and T2 as AMRAP Increase 1RM by minimum amount when able to get 3 or more reps on your 1+ set. Accessories: Increase weight by smallest increment once able to do the maximum reps listed for all sets. If you fail a set, drop the weight and do AMRAP sets for the remaining sets. AMRAP final set of first day on new weight regardless of failure on previous sets. If feeling good, add a drop set (AMRAP) to the end of whichever accessories you like (totalling 6 sets instead of the usual 5). Octopus to make up for the leg day we are missing. I just really hate a dedicated leg day twice a week.

Common questions

Yes, PPLPP 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.

PPLPP 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.

PPLPP 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.
