This programs aims to train every muscle group twice per week with 1 day of resting and 1 day of legs. You could run either BRO (back - chest - arms), day off and PPL (push - pull - legs) or PPL first, day off and then the BRO part. Every training day should be no longer than 50mins, leaving enough room in the day of cardio if you wish so. This program is based on the fallowing principles: 1. always train the muscle given at the full ROM (range of motion) with big emphasis on the lengthen, eccentric, part of the movement. 2. DO NOT ego lift! Use a proper weight so you can do the full ROM of 8-12 reps, after that you can do half reps if you wish so until failure. 3. Slowly control the weight on the concentric part. DO NOT throw the weight around! And slowly control the weight on the eccentric part as well, feel the muscle lengthening and tearing apart while you lower the weight.

Common questions

Yes, BRO x PPL 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 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 50 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.

BRO x PPL is structured around 6 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.

BRO x PPL 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.
