This hypertrophy focused program is something I am experimenting with. Figured I’d put it out there in case somebody wants to try it and see if they get results the same as me. Progression starts with straight volume progressions for a few weeks until then going on with the same volume but adding weight for progressions for the next few weeks and repeating while altering the rep range. Structured as legs, pull, push This version of PPL has worked great for me to get the most out of my leg training specifically. Traditionally when running PPL legs follow a pull day and with that added back fatigue I’ve found it limits my leg training. The program is designed to be self regulating or ran on an 8 or 9 day week. Going through legs, pull, push taking a day off before cycling again then either one day or two days off before beginning again. Exercises in the program are designed to be simple, tried and true. Workouts are designed to be short and effective. This will be determined by how hard the user wishes to go. If you aren’t training hard I’m not sure how results will be. Thats just a short synopsis of some of the overarching ideas I had when creating this program. Hope it works for anyone wanting to try.

Common questions

Yes, Bodybuilding Block is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 16 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 40 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.

Bodybuilding Block 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 16 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Bodybuilding Block 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.
