## Overview

**Length**: 12 weeks  
**Days / week**: 4 days  
**Level**: Intermediate  
**Goal**: Muscle  
**Equipment**: Full Gym  
**Session length**: 60 min

Welcome to the new bodybuilding program to help you build an aesthetic physique like Henry Cavill's Superman. This program debunks the myth that such a physique is unattainable without lucky genetics or enhancements. Of course, you'll need to be dedicated to your training like Henry Cavill in preparing for this role, but you can also achieve this physique with hard work and focus.

**Focus area of this program:**

- **Shoulder & Upper Chest**: The visual impact starts here, with exercises programmed to bulk up from the [**delts**](https://www.boostcamp.app/blogs/best-shoulder-exercises-strength-size) to [**chest**](https://www.boostcamp.app/blogs/best-chest-exercises-size) to [**traps**](https://www.boostcamp.app/blogs/mastering-trap-workouts-for-muscle-strength), creating a powerful and complete upper frame
- **Arms**: In true Superman fashion, this program emphasizes arm development, particularly big [**biceps**](https://www.boostcamp.app/blogs/4-best-bicep-exercises) to complement the upper torso
- **Abs**: Core strength and definition is critical, with this program adding in dedicated ab exercises to sculpt a heroic midsection

**Program Structure:**

- **4-days per week**:
  - Monday - Upper
  - Wednesday - Lower
  - Friday - Full Body
  - Sunday - Accessories

This program allows for a realistic approach to body composition: emulating Cavill's 'bear mode'. You can maintain a slightly [**higher body fat percentage**](https://www.boostcamp.app/blogs/bulk-or-fat) and still have some pretty substantial muscle visibility and sustainability, making the physique achievable and maintainable.

## Who it's for

- Intermediate athletes ready for a structured program
- Athletes focused on building muscle size
- Athletes who can train 4 days per week
- Athletes with access to a full gym (barbells, dumbbells, cables, and machines)

Cassandra W.: Love that this program takes a full body approach. Not too long for each day. It appears to adequately hit each muscle weekly. Great workout plan.

Nate R.: Good use of free weight. Could use more back and targeted leg lifts.

Raj V.: Pretty good program. Solid progression, you just have to make sure you’re not egolifting.

Shpat Begolli: The feeling is that the exercises are too repetitive and not as various as they should be but still following the program so it's just OK.
