I made this program for a cut after a bulk/powerlifting phase, to get a bit more aesthetic after focusing on strength. The program is a 4 day/week split , upper/lower: Upper (focus on push movement) Lower (focus on squat) Rest Upper (focus on pulling movements) Lower (focus on hinges) Rest Rest Feel free to rest whenever you want, but after legs, resting seems the most sensible choice. Volume will increase every 4 weeks. This is my template, feel free to adjust the number of sets according to your needs.

Common questions

Yes, Uncut gems 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.

Uncut gems 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.

Uncut gems 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.
