Choose any of these 8 strength-building plans and start seeing impressive gains in a matter of weeks… if not days.

5-3-2 Strength

Duration: 10 Weeks

Three phases and three brutally effective set-rep schemes (5x5, 3x3, 2x2) will have you setting new PRs across the board.

Power Pyramid

Duration: 4 Weeks

An ascending/descending pyramid model plus changes in rep tempo provides strength-gaining you’ve never felt before.

Strong in 8

Duration: 8 Weeks

Weekly bench press, squat, and deadlift workouts get progressively heavier (linear periodization) over two separate microcycles.

MED Training

Duration: 6 Weeks

Three proven techniques – Micro-Loading, Extended Sets, and Drop Sets – combine for fast, efficient strength gains.

3 Prong Strong

Duration: 6 Weeks

This 4-days-a-week plan focuses on explosive strength with single-digit rep counts and varying loads.

Oxford Drop Set

Duration: 4 Weeks

Based off the popular Oxford descending pyramid, this 2-day bodypart split will help you get bigger and stronger with just four weekly workouts.

3x3 Rest Rundown

Duration: 5 Weeks

The sets and reps stay the same throughout (3x3), the weight remains heavy, and the rest periods shrink weekly for great strength gains.

Variable Training Method

Duration: 12 Weeks

Learn what works best for your body – while gaining size and strength – by changing one variable at a time.

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.
