Kaioken Hypertrophy is an asynchronous Upper–Lower–Push–Pull–Legs loop engineered for maximal muscle gain with precise fatigue control: you simply run the five sessions in order and insert rest whenever recovery demands, so life never derails your progress. Each workout uses 6–7 targeted movements to deliver high stimulus with low overlap—Upper and Push provide two quality chest exposures per cycle so you get that massive Goku-esque pec shelf; Pull isolates the back and arm without shoulder junk volume; the Lower/Legs split maximizes glute, quad, and hamstring growth, while also hammering your calves till they resemble Trunks' tree trunk legs. Compounds run 3 working sets of 8–10 reps; isolations run 3–4 sets of 12-15 with good form and full range; finishers (AMRAP/push ups/abs) get 1–2 hard sets near failure. 12 weeks in, the program switches to prioritize different muscle groups and compound movements to make sure we cover our weak spots.

Common questions

Yes, Kaioken Hypertrophy is completely free to follow on Boostcamp. Download the app on iOS or Android, find the program, and start your first workout immediately. All 18 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.

Kaioken Hypertrophy is structured around 5 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 18 weeks. The structure is designed so that each week builds on the last, with weights, volume, or intensity progressively increasing as you go.

Kaioken Hypertrophy 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.
