One of the biggest mistakes people make when training for strength is sticking only to heavy weights and low reps (5 or fewer) on bench press, deadlifts, and squats. Dr. Stoppani’s Strong in 8 gets down to heavy singles, doubles, and triples, but only after laying a foundation for size and strength with higher rep counts. The result: bigger max lifts in the end, plus more muscle and less body fat!

“Strong in 8's got an old-school, kick-in-the-teeth feel to it. The set and rep changes may feel like Jim is trying to kill you, but the strongman pump is just crazy. I couldn't believe the strength gains I made along the way.”
Kim Muhlenbruch
“Strong in 8 is a great program! I loved that it was 8 weeks long, but only 5 days per week. It gave me time to transform and see the changes that I wanted while allowing me to do something I wanted (like cardio) for the 6th day. The mix of light-weight, high-rep days and heavy-weight, low-rep days helped me lose my stubborn body fat while gaining the muscle mass and strength that I wanted.”
Andrew Owen
“Strong in 8 is my favorite strength-focused program. The periodization cycles work like a charm and help me still achieve mass gains while building strength. The straight-set format lets me easily slide cardioacceleration into the program, too. That’s the real kicker with Jim’s programs—you can and DO gain strength/mass while simultaneously losing body fat.”
Getting stronger means training smarter. Here’s what makes the Strong in 8 program so intelligent… and effective.
A strength program should build you up, not beat you down. Strong in 8’s five-day training split has you working each major muscle group only once a week: chest on Day 1, shoulders on Day 2, back on Day 3, arms on Day 4, legs on Day 5. This means you can train every bodypart with maximum intensity and achieve full recovery to maximize strength gains.

Want to hit new PRs across the board? Done. Every Strong in 8 workout kicks off with a big lift when you’re fresh – bench press (chest day), barbell overhead press (shoulder day), deadlifts (back day), close-grip bench press (arm day), and squats (leg day). One-rep max (1RM) testing before and after the program will prove the results.

You’ve probably done linear periodization before, but never like this. In each of two four-week phases, weights start light and get progressively heavier every week. In Phase 1, reps go from 13-15 down to 4-6. In Phase 2, the linear scheme resets, but at slightly heavier weights – from 10-12 reps, all the way down to 2-3 in Week 8. You’ll finish strong, literally!
