Getting stronger comes from having a plan for the gym and the kitchen and sticking to it. Jim thinks about every exercise he selects and makes sure that every set and rep counts. I've done 5-3-2 Strength 3 or 4 times and have hit 1 rep max PR's every time for squat, bench and deadlift.
Programs Backed-By-Science
Periodized Progress
With decades of scientific literature and practical application supporting its effectiveness, periodization is the best way to see maximal and sustainable strength gains. Dr. Stoppani’s programs utilize all forms of periodization in never-before-seen ways. Your strength workouts have never been so engaging… and so effective.
Heavy On Volume
The internet is littered with low-volume strength programs. The problem with these is you shortchange muscle gains and add unwanted body fat. When high volume and heavy loads are programmed intelligently, as they are in all JimStoppani.com programs, you’ll be able to fully recover for the best possible results in both strength and size.
Proven Methods, New Uses
Techniques like supersets, drop sets, and shortened rest periods aren’t just for bodybuilders. Dr. Stoppani has proven with decades worth of programs that these hypertrophy-friendly hacks are just as valuable for boosting strength. Intensity drives growth, and bigger muscles are stronger muscles.
