This program is made for people who like to keep it simple in the gym Split: Chest, shoulders, biceps & triceps Legs & back Each muscle group technically has 9 sets per week so as long as you push yourself this is going to be plenty Can add abs/calves at the end of the workout (leg raises, cable crunch, standing calf raise) Compound exercises are 8-9 RPE Isolations 9-10 RPE Chin ups should be done weighted after you can do more than 12 reps bodyweight Incline barbell bench press should be done with a close grip (hands shoulder width apart) to put more emphasis on the triceps while still targeting the chest Workouts should take around an hour or even less if you preform supersets (eg. skullcrushers and ez bar curls) This program can and should be done for more than 12 weeks

Common questions

Yes, Simple 4 Day Program 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 60 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.

Simple 4 Day Program 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 12 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Simple 4 Day Program 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.
