Raider has an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 305 Boostcamp lifters. 95% rated it 4 or 5 stars. Read how it went for them below, then start the program in the Boostcamp app.
I took a 2 months break from gym so I was much weaker so it’s not a fair review I’d say this program with a lil bit of tweaking is lit for a 4 day programme
Interesting program. I needed a program that focuses equally on strength and muscle gain, I would say this quite meets the expectations.
Only mods I made were due to limitations from knee injuries. Effective, solid program that I look forward to completing each day/week.
Did this after during Raider 2.0 and I honestly prefer this version more. The sessions are shorter but just as productive. The modifications I made were based on what equipment I had available (swapped leg press for pendulum squats), exercise order ( i.e moving quad work in squat day to the end since I was tire). I also subbed the calisthenics with chest machine flys. Overall I would highly recommend.
I was skeptical of all the back stuff, but I’m a believer now. Some of the exercises, like the pull ups, were too hard for me unassisted to do as many reps as stated, so I used the machine to do assisted ones. But the muscles I gained make it look like I could do pull ups all day long, so I’m happy with it overall. After the main lifts, it’s easy to power through to the end on each day, to alleviate boredom. I will probably transition to something more strength focused next time and come back to this one later.
Awesome program
Well paced in terms of progression. Good variety and balance of muscle groups.
Loving the app! Loving the program!
Found that this program doesn’t hit specific muscle groups frequently enough to progressively overload week to week on compound exercises. Really focuses on shoulders and legs and leaves chest and back with a lot to desire.
Great plan, been a long time watcher of bald omni man. Started this program maybe a year ago or so now, starting weight was 160ish, now sitting at 175, def got some extra fat but a lot of muscle added. Has made combat sports much more enjoyable as I feel as strong as or usually stronger than others in my weight class. Thanks BOM!
