Big Bench Big Frame is a six day per week bodybuilding focused training split designed to maximize upper body muscle growth, particularly chest and bench press strength, while also building a balanced physique. The core of the program emphasizes bench press frequency with three dedicated days each week—Technique Bench (TB), Medium Bench (MB), and Hard Bench (HB)—to target different intensities and refine both form and power output. Each training day targets specific muscle groups to support hypertrophy and recovery: quads, chest, back, arms, hamstrings, and shoulders, with carefully selected accessory exercises optimized for growth and joint health. The rest day on Monday allows recovery before the demanding weekly volume begins. Altogether, the program is purpose built for lifters aiming to grow a massive frame while simultaneously building an elite bench press through high frequency, varied intensity training. T = RPE 4-5 M = RPE 7.5-8 H = RPE 9-9.5

Common questions

Yes, Big Bench Big Frame is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 10 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.

Big Bench Big Frame 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 10 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.
