Yuri Boyka has one of the coolest physiques I’ve ever seen. I remember watching Undisputed 2 and 3 and being absolutely amazed by his leanness and muscular development.
I wanted to build a similar body, but didn’t know how to do it. I researched online, but most of the articles consisted of horrible bodybuilding splits and cookie cutter routines.
Nothing gave real results, and thousands of lifters (myself included) were left unsatisfied. There was never a system that would break down every detail of Yuri Boyka into a step-by step process.
That is, until today.
After 6 years, Undisputed 3 is finally getting its sequel…Undisputed 4. And of course, Yuri Boyka is the main act.
For lifters all over the world, this has resurrected the desire to look like him.
The only problem, however, is that history repeats itself. The garbage routines from 6 years ago will rise back to the surface, and people won’t get results.
But I won’t let that happen to you.
In this article, I will provide the most detailed analysis ever made on Boyka’s physique. I will examine each of his bodyparts individually, and provide guidelines as to which exercises should be emphasized. Finally, I will give out a free 4 week program that summarizes everything I discussed today.
So are you ready to build a body like Yuri Boyka? If so, let’s get started.
Yuri Boyka Chest
One of Yuri Boyka’s best bodyparts is his chest. Not only does it possess a good shape, but it also pops out three dimensionally from all angles. Everything is thoroughly developed, down from the upper and lower chest. It is also a lean chest, and possesses hair + tattoos.
To acquire such development, you must first lean out to approximately 12-13% bodyfat and grow a bit of body hair.
Next, you will need some seriously strong horizontal pressing numbers. This is because as natural lifters, you need to get stronger to get bigger. You must understand that hypertrophy is nothing but a side effect of improved performance.
That said, a weak bench press cannot be tolerated under any circumstances. For most of you, a Boyka-level chest will require that you bench press at least 225lbs for 10 repetitions. And this is me being generous. It would even go as far to say that you must bench 275lbs for 10 repetitions, or pause bench press 315lbs for 5 (for those with bad genetics). That’s how good this chest is.
Now you may be asking yourself, how does one become proficient at benching? The answer is very simple…train like a powerlifter. By utilizing strength training strategies in addition to multiple special exercises that build one’s bench, you too can acquire the Yuri Boyka chest.
For strength training strategies, you will need to use concurrent periodization. Periodization can be defined as the organization of training…and concurrent periodization is organizing the training in such a way that volume and intensity is managed throughout the yearly cycle. To prevent the onset of plateaus and under-recovery, exercises are constantly rotated.
In simplest terms, this would mean including both volume work (typical of bodybuilders, which is all about high reps, high sets, squeezing the muscles, etc) in addition to intensity work (1RM, low reps, basically powerlifting stuff).
Additionally, because we seek maximum muscular development, direct chest work and special exercises must be incorporated. To simply “bench more to get better at benching” or use the basics alone will not suffice.
That means doing tons of pause benching, dumbbell pressing from various different angles, direct chest work like flyes, pullovers, pushups, as well as supplemental tricep work (more on that later, as triceps are crucial for benching strength).
Once you can bench press 275 for reps, dumbbell press the 120s for at least 10, practically max out the pec deck + cable flye machines, do weighted dips with 3 plates for reps, and do pullovers with weights ranging from 120-150lbs, your chest development will be at its peak.
And worry not, for the program at the end will show you how to do this. So are we clear now? Get mad strong at horizontal pressing and you will have the chest you want.
Yuri Boyka Arms
Boyka has arms that are similar to many gym bros. Very big biceps, but average/slightly above average triceps and forearms.
At a height of 5’10, his lean arms are a bit over 16.5 inches. This is certainly doable, and not too difficult to obtain.
Earlier, I mentioned how having strong triceps were imperative to a strong bench. That said, since this program will focus primarily on horizontal pressing, we might as well use variations that build the bench automatically while also hitting the triceps hard.
So once more, we turn back to the powerlifting world. I’m talking about using stuff like band presses for overloading the lockout (optional but if you have use), board presses, pin presses, tricep extensions, and JM presses. By getting strong at all these movements, the bench will go up (which ensures that your chest will get huge) and the triceps should grow in proportion.
The net result SHOULD be the chest and arms of Boyka, aka the beach muscles. Again (not to sound like a broken record) the triceps should be easy to build in this system.
For biceps, if you look at the training of Scott Adkins (the actor of Boyka) you will notice that he does lots of heavy barbell curls. This makes sense, because Boyka has seriously developed biceps, and by using mass building exercises like barbell curls, the net result is bigger biceps. I believe he curls 135lbs for reps, therefore I will also set that same standard for you.
And how do you get a strong barbell curl? The same way you get a strong bench…which is using concurrent periodization aka managing volume/intenstity and rotating special exercises. For specificity of training, we will employ standard barbell curls, cheat barbell curls, preacher curls, bilateral cable curls, and pin curls off different heights. Getting strong at these movements should render you a 135lb strict barbell curl, in addition to Boyka-level biceps.
If you have bad genetics, I will also advise incline curls for the myotatic reflex, as well as dumbbell preacher curls. Both are negative-specific and allow you to stretch the biceps hard.
For forearms, no direct work shall be necessary. By getting stronger at the curls I advise and the heavy back movements that I will discuss shortly, they should grow with ease.
Yuri Boyka Back
Yuri Boyka has a very interesting back. He has a decent level of width (not too much) and a good amount of upper back thickness. His spinal erectors are also developed, and his leanness shows off all the cuts.
However, I would have to say that his upper back outshines every other portion of his back. You may think he looks wide from the front, but this is because of his well developed side delts. His lats are nothing special.
The upper back is really what you are looking for. In ALL of his side shots, you can see it popping out like crazy. This is the look we are good for.
A super thick upper back, and decent lats. The recipe for that look is super easy…a shitload of rows, rack pulls, and a low-medium amount of vertical pulls.
The strength standards I will set includes a 275-315lb barbell row for 5-10 reps, a 45-90lb weighted chinup for 3-5 reps, and a 725lb rack pull above the knee. To get there, you will need special exercises like meadows rows, t-bar rows, yates rows, dumbbell rows, lat pulldowns, and different pulls. The program at the end will include all that you need.
Yuri Boyka Traps
Just like before, Yuri Boyka appears to be thicker on the upper portion of his back. His traps are pretty damn developed, in fact they are one of his best bodyparts given his size.
The more I think about the physique, the more I realize that Boyka has developed the enhanced muscles to a tremendous degree. Traps, side delts, upper back… they are all very good which make him look bigger than he actually is.
However, his neck is rather small. If I were to guess it looks to be no more than 16.5-17 inches.
For this reason, direct neck work 
will not be necessary. Many times when I write strength training programs that emphasize the yoke, I include neck work because it aids in building the traps. However, for the Boyka physique there will be zero neck work.
Moving forward, I want to bring to your attention that without chemical enhancement, traps can be rather difficult to build. You see, when one gets on the “hot sauce”, the androgen receptor sensitivity increases in the upper chest, delts, and traps.
In other words, getting strong is not a requirement. Big traps are pretty much guaranteed by upping the dose. When you are a legit natural, however, this does not occur.
You actually have to work your traps…and work them hard might I add.
Seeing as the traps are a VERY strong muscle, it only makes sense that I will suggest that you push them to the limit via maximum poundages.
How heavy am I talking about? How about 455-500lb barbell shrugs for reps? How about grabbing the 120lb dumbbells (usually the max in most gyms) and repping it out 50 times? How about snatch grip high pulls with 275lbs? This is what builds big traps. Cheat reps will also work, as many Olympic Weightlifters are proving.
In sum, getting elite-level trap development requires elite level strength, because you don’t have drugs to help you out.
Yuri Boyka Shoulders
Boyka doesn’t really have massive shoulders. He does, however, have insane side delt development. As mentioned previously, this is the key reason why he looks so wide from the front. It isn’t his lats, it’s his side delts.
Now remember how I said that when one is enhanced, the androgen receptors sensitivity increases in the shoulders, upper chest, and traps? Well, the delts (one of Boyka’s best bodyparts) falls into that list. That means that in order to get incredible development, you will need to get stupid strong.
Not necessarily at overhead pressing (since this is a horizontal pressing system), but through accessory work. I’m talking about doing 100lb power side raises. I’m talking about heavy band + cable face pulls. I’m talking about 40lb dumbbell crucifix holds for 30+ seconds. This is what’s going to give you that insane side delt pop. I would also add that rear delts are crucial for furthering the 3D look, so direct work shall be incorporated as well.
Yuri Boyka Legs
It’s evident that Yuri Boyka does not have big legs. In all the Undisputed films, you can observe this in every fight.
He has nice lean legs, but they are not big by any means. This makes sense seeing as Scott Adkins (actor’s name) is actually a martial artist.
That’s how he built his legs, not by doing heavy barbell squats in the gym.
Therefore, this program will not require much quad work. I feel that doing basic cardio like cycling, pistol squats and rack pulls and easy leg work should suffice.
Even his calves are nothing great. I don’t think direct work would be needed whatsoever.
Out of all of Boyka’s muscles, legs are by far his worst bodypart. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing though, because that is also one of the key features that adds to his width.
Like I said before, Boyka doesn’t have wide lats. He has wide side delts. When you combine that with his small legs + small waist due to lower bodyfat, it makes him look even wider than he actually is.
In other words, we are left with one big illusion. Pretty cool huh?
Yuri Boyka Midsection
We now end off with Yuri Boyka’s midsection. I find this is hard to judge, because depending which picture you look at he can look slightly leaner or slightly fluffier.
Either way, one thing that I can confirm is that this midsection is NOT shredded. It is certainly lean, yes, but not ripped to the bone. This is perfect for you guys, because being shredded is not recommended for drug-free lifters. Being too lean will make you look smaller (especially in a shirt) as naturals cannot “grow into a show” and retain muscle mass efficiently while in that state, even with perfect diet.
Furthermore, hormones and sex drive can be depleted, and workouts can suck ass due to a lack of energy. Leverages may also be affected, which is HUGE negative especially since we are trying to build a big bench. So you should be pretty damn happy that Boyka is not shredded.
It makes it that much more attainable to build his physique.
Do realize though, that he was filmed with professional cameras + lighting. In normal conditions, THIS is what his midsection really looks like. Lean, but not shredded.
My estimate is around 13.5-14% bodyfat, but I will give you the range of 12-13% due to the lighting in the photos.
In terms of exercises, I suggest training your abs like a gymnast. This means lots of hanging leg raises, front levers, L-holds, etc. Doing tummy vacuums at home might also be a good idea to keep the waist nice and trim and make you look leaner.
Finally, wear a belt during heavy compound lifts like rows and rack pulls. This will ensure that you do not overbulk the midsection, which I believe can happen if you get super strong at beltless work.
Final Discussion
The program will use concurrent periodization and will be done in a full body style. I believe naturals benefit most from full body training rather than split routines. You will perform the workouts 2-4x a week, while frequently rotating exercise selection.
We do this to prevent accommodation and build overall strength and hypertrophy.
Plus, as you may have noticed, there’s A LOT of customization that goes into building the physique of Yuri Boyka. To simply give you a cookie cutter routine would not work. It had to be very special and specific.
Anyhow, I now present you a 4 week Yuri Boyka program that should allow you to build a similar physique to him. You will recognize that there are many exercises in one session, and that it is absolutely brutal.
If you wish, I give you permission to transform this into an upper/lower. Otherwise, repeat each workout every 48-72 hours and manage volume/intensity based off how you feel that day (same goes for rest intervals).
Although it’s only a 4 week program, it’s completely repeatable. It also gives you an idea as to how Yuri Boyka programming would look like. So you can copy this format and make it better (if you can).
So without further ado, here’s the program.

FIN
great article Alex. You actually made a program of my goal physique. Granted my goal is his physique with a smaller Chest but it’s nice to see a good version of his workout program. However, since my goal is his physique + smaller chest and bigger neck. Would it be possible to get to my goal effectively using naturally enhanced ?
Of course. Naturally Enhanced is very similar to this Boyka physique. That was one of the major realizations I made when writing this article. Everything that I talk about in my videos (neck, traps, upper back shoulders, higher bodyfat, hair, etc) seems to be present in Boyka. The only thing that’s missing is the glutes and forearms. But overall, yes NE would develop precisely what you are talking about (smaller chest + bigger neck).
hey man how i get broad shoulder like cris evans. This dude has massive broad shoulder. Here some pics :

Hey Alex could you do one on Bruce lee it would great to see your if possible. Cause Bruce wasn’t big but strong as hell he did bodybuilding and Martial arts. He developed his forearm to the max if you look at his photos speed and power was his goal also alot of isometric for raw power.
Hey Alex doesnt the chest get Nuff stimulation from bench.. is the flies and crossover really going to make a difference?
You’re right that it won’t make a tremendous difference, but I included it anyway because Boyka has a very good chest. Plus, if you do direct chest work you might not need as strong of a bench.
Alex as for the biceps do you mean either one or the other exercises or both of them? Ex : Barbell curls or Preacher curls or both of em?
The Volume seems crazy high on the program? Also a lot of 20+ rep work, harder to progress on no?
Is his physique naturally attainable?
Isn’t this volume way too much?
Good article, Alex! Can you do one about Henry Cavill, the actor of Superman in Man of Steel?
Hey Alex this seems like one hell of a program. Everything is pretty straightforward but the only thing I dont understand is when the exercise says “1-5RM or 4-10RM+3 backoff sets/triple dropsets”. My apologies for the newb question…definitely never trained like this but I’m excited to give it a go!
It means one to five rep max or four to ten rep max IN ADDITION to three back-off sets which is essentially 10% reduction weight each set. So if you do 100lbs for 10, your 3 back off-sets would be 90lbs, 80lbs, and 70lbs. If it’s a triple dropset, you would do the same thing but they would be part of ONE set rather than being split into 3.
Not really. Like I said if it’s too difficult you can split it into an upper/lower.
Yes. Whether or not he may have used, the fact is that the Yuri Boyka physique is attainable.
Volume is standard. If it’s too hard split into an upper/lower.
As far as 20 rep work goes, yes it’s harder to progress but it will raise your work capacity, fatigue tolerance, and make you a better lifter. Also for certain lifts like dumbbell shrugs, high reps work just fine and progression is great.
It means OR, so you get the choice of choosing which one you want to do.
Okay so just to make sure Im understanding correctly. You would choose to do 1 set of your 1-5 rep max or one set of your 4-10 rep max followed by 3 backoff sets or triple dropsets?
Correct.
So we have to choose to do 3×10 barbell cheat curls OR 3X10 dumbbell preacher curls. Because there is no “or” written and I thought we were supposed to do both of the exercises for a total of 6×10 only for biceps ahaha
I don’t think you’re reading it properly.
It says
“Barbell Curl/Cheat Curl 3×10
Preacher Dumbbell Curl 3×10”
The Slash means OR. So it’s either a Barbell Curl or a Cheat Curl. Then you move onto preacher.
Oh sorry,thanks for clarify. I’m gonna reduce the number of sets tho. Do you think it’s ok to do 2 sets of one exercise and then 2 sets of the other? Great program anyway
if i am doing this program as a push/pull 2 days on 1 day off can i add shoulder press variation to the push day as of 3sets 6-8 reps
I guess so but it would not be necessary at all. Volume may also be too high.
What do you think about bulking for a month then recomping for a month to maintain the leanness needed for boyka’s physique but still gaining muscle faster than with just recomping?
See Outalpha.com/recomp
What do you think about gtg body weight training while running a 2-3x a week concurrent training system
Hey Alex, is it okay to use straps for rack pulls?
Yes, straps are 100% fine for rack pulls.
Should be fine
Hey Alex! How can you make it an upper/lower program? Because it is so much upper and so little lower. Thanks for the awesome program but im not use to so much volume.
Just split it in half once you reach the upper back portion of the workout.
Hey Alex, awesome workout, but I have a question: I’m a newbie so should I use this from the srtart or should I do the novice program for 6-12 months and then use this or how long should I use the novice program if at all? Thanks in advance
Use novice if you’re new to lifting
Hi. 1 week programs; should be done every day all programs ?
Hi. how should be done it programs ;1 week programs we are do it one training day or ?
Hey Alex on the second chest exercise, can i replace IT with a shoulder press, z press, klokov press, or something similar to get some shoulder strenght instead o just bench ?
Sure
You follow it as written. Every week you move onto the next
@Turgut No 2-4x a week
Can you do an article on Aamir Khan’s physique in the wrestling movie ‘Dangal’.
http://www.apotpourriofvestiges.com/2016/10/dangal-movie-trailer-review.html
Yo Alex, just an idea for another addition to your best bodies series. Tom Hardy’s physique from the movie “Bronson.”
Do i change anything in the program IF i want to cut from 15-16% to 10-11% bodyfat…
Reduce the volume….?
Im combining Two workouts a week with 3x Bjj…
Plz help& tips would be awesome
Reverse Grip Paused Bench Press 1-5RM or 4-10RM + 3 Back-Off Sets/Triple Dropset
I’m not sure what this means
Hey alex can I do anothe leg training when doing this? Because I want to improve my squat,deadlift and look of my legs. Also can I do aditional work for lats? Because I want to improve my V taper. Thank you for this I just got started on full body workout(I used to do splits) so this is great, thanks and love from Argentina.
@Will
1 to 5 rep max or 4 to 10 rep max and three back-off sets (10-15% reduction per set) or triple dropset. Common terms just google it
@Martin
I recommend running the program as written but if you feel like modifying it for specific goals then be my guest
@Adem
Nothing changes, maybe just reduce volume slightly
Reverse Grip Paused Bench Press 1-5RM or 4-10RM + 3 Back-Off Sets/Triple Dropset
i dont understand this Alex,
for example i choiced 4-10 rm and triple dropset
am i gonna do those?
4rm set
5rm set
..
..
10rm set and triple drop set with last set?
means 6 bench press sets?
Hey Alex,
what do I do after 4th week? Do I deload or do I repeat week 1?
Is this program properly periodized so I can keep doing the same thing over and over again and keep getting gains?
Thank you
Holy volume, Batman! This is definitely an advanced routine.
@Tom
You restart, and it is mainly auto-regulated so you need to pay attention to your body in terms of recovery.
@Sharp
Say you do 100lbs.
Set 1, 100×4
Set 2, 90×6
Set 3, 80×8
Set 4, 70×10
Set 2,3,4 are your back-off sets.
Martial artists rarely have huge legs, if they do their kicks will be too slow, The core work to build a body like this is hundreds of leg raises, sit ups, punches, kicks and knees. As well as body weight squats, sprinting, hurdles, skipping and moderate distance running (about 5k).
In my peak Muay Thai days I was a mini version of this dude (well not quite) and although I only hit the weights on an all over workout for two hours once a week I still had lots of strength and decent muscle. Despite eating massive amounts of food my body fat was around 8% as I couldn’t get enough calories in.
Sets of press ups, sit ups, leg raises and squats were always 100 reps, usually twice a week. The only way to really get like a martial artist is to train like one, and believe me it is as hard if not harder than any normal weight training. Especially if you are injured which 90% of the time I was which is why I gave up in the end. When people keep hitting you though it’s hard not to get injured.
An instructor that has good fighters will expect you to complete your workouts when you have gone beyond exhaustion. The conditioning to fight is more mental than physical, you need to be able to carry on even when it feels like there is absolutely nothing left. It’s amazing how much extra you can actually do even when you think you can’t. People being sick wasn’t unusual in training, I’ve only personally ever been sick when riding absolutely flat out on a mountain bike trying to beat a time on Strava.
Anyone who is man enough to train regularly at a decent Muay Thai or MMA gym should be able to get a body like this. By the time you do you will be a walking weapon, just be ready for a lot of pain!!
Sine this routine is very similar to NE setup (in terms of volume and even exercise selection) would it be possible to follow NE 4 times a week as well? (48 hours between each workout)
@Diaz
Technically it’s possible, but I honestly don’t recommend it. The recovery is going to be way more fucked, and you may experience strength plateaus more often. The templates from the book are the best to use.
Hey could you do a modern day analysis on Eugene Sandow’s physique? Greatly appreciated. Big fan of your vids!
Can I do this Monday, Wednesday, Friday and take the weekends off?
Can I adapt this using the excersises and turn it into a split routine?

Hey Alex,
Can I combine Boyka & Klokov Workouts?!
If yes, how would you go about it? Would you (a) run Klokov week 1 the first week, then Boyka week 1 the second week and so on, or (b) do both at the same time e.g. week 1-2: day 1 = klokov week 1, day 2 = Boyka week 1, do each once a week for two weeks then gpp 2-3 times a week and move on?
Thanks a lot!
p.s. I’m a new subscriber to your chanel and I really like your content!
Hey Alex,
I am training this at home and i dont have more than 220lbs so i am doing high rep rack pulls with long pauses on the top (5×10-6x220lbs) and my lower back is finished after those. So after that i just cant stay in the meadows row form. I know that i need to keep my other hand on my knee to support me but that doesnt help for some reason. Whats up with that?
Note to others:
The workout time in home gym is about 1:30h and i am pretty fast but the program is well designed because i have energy to do those last reps and sets with good focus.
Hey Alex can I do this routine during my cutting aiming to lose fat while in deficit , also my strength slightly decreased any recommendations .
Hey Alex,
Is it possible that you can make a calisthenic’s workout program? A public park with bars etc are literally right outside my house, as well as the tight budget I’m on and the gym being far away is a incentive for me to do calisthenics.
I know you specify in weight training but looking at your novice program and other physique programs I see that you incorporate calisthenic exercises in them. I have also seen from antidotes and again looking at your programs that the progression system is amazingly put together and works really well. For these reasons i would love to see some type of calisthenics program put together.
thanks Steve,
hey alex! a big fan of your work! have seen you from that boy-ish look to that alpha macho look..just a small doubt..this workout is described in weeks..how am i supposed to perform it? is it like…week 1 program alternatively for 7 days straight than week 2 program and so on? please help 🖤
It seems we are seeing more and more martial artists hit the site, and I have to say: it s freakin awesome! Coach Derek Mellino in The Academy is definitely proud.
Hey Alex make a kane( past 2001 “at this time he was at his best shape” WWF wrestler) workout routine with diet please try to do so brother🙏🙏
