As someone who has dealt with bad shoulders and hips due to osteoarthritis for some time. I decided to design a program specifically for people with similar issues to still be able to grow and develop your physique without inducing further pain or increasing the damage. This also works to bullet-proof both your hips and shoulders to help support poor joints or mobility.

Who it's for

Intermediate athletes ready for a structured program
Athletes focused on building muscle size
Athletes who can train 4 days per week
Athletes with access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines)

Common questions

Yes, Bad Shoulder/Hips Bro Split is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 14 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.

Bad Shoulder/Hips Bro Split 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 14 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Bad Shoulder/Hips Bro Split 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.
