JIM STOPPANI’S 12-WEEK SHORTCUT SIZE
JIM STOPPANI’S 12-WEEK SHORTCUT SIZE – The 12-week program I am about to take you through is based on one of the oldest, tried and true methods for gaining strength and muscle.
This type of training has successfully prepared almost every type of athlete imaginable, from Olympic weightlifters to soccer players. It works so well that it has been used continually for decades.
I know that I am best known for my unique exercises and novel training programs, but sometimes you have to rely on the basics. That’s especially true when a basic program works as well as this one. Of course, I have taken the basic, but very effective program and tweaked it to perfect its effectiveness and to maximize the results you get. These results include greater strength, bigger muscles, and less body fat.
PERIODIZATION WORKS… PERIOD!
This program is based on the training concept called periodization. Periodization is the method of changing up your training at specified time points. The very first periodized scheme to be used with weights is called Linear Periodization (also known as Classic Periodization). That simply means that you start with light weight and high reps and as the program progresses the weights used get heavier and heavier and the reps completed per set get fewer and fewer. Most periodized programs take many months to complete. Many last anywhere from 4 to 12 months to complete the cycle. But this periodized program utilizes a concept known as microcycles. Where a typical linear periodized scheme might stick with the same weight and rep range for a month or longer, the micro cycles change up the weight and rep range every week.
In week one your rep range will be 12-15 reps. In week two you bump up all the weights and drop reps down to 9-11. Week three adds weight again to each exercise to drop the rep range down to 6-8. And in week four you bump the weight up again to drop reps down to 3-5 per set. Those are the four microcycles that you will repeat. On the fourth week you have completed the first 4-week phase. On the fifth week you drop the weight back down and start all over at 12-15 reps per set. This is the start of Phase 2. But now you will be able to do each rep range with at least 5 and up to 20 pounds more than you could in Phase 1. In the sixth week, or week 2 of Phase 2, you will be back at 9-11 reps per set.
In week7, or week 3 of phase 2, weight will go up again to drop your repa down to 6-8 per set. And in week 8, or week 4 of phase 2, weight will go up to limit reps to 3-5 per set. That completes Phase 2. And in week 9 you start The final phase, phase 3 by dropping back down to 12-15 reps per set and run through the four microcycles again until you are back down at 3-5 reps per set. Of course, in each phase you will be using 5-20 pounds more than you did in phase 2 and 10-40 pounds more than you used in Phase 1. This is how you get stronger… Much stronger, over this 12-week program.
The constant increase in weight each week and the recycling of these four phases leads to impressive strength gains. The microcyles also lead to muscle hypertrophy due to the constant changing up of the rep ranges each and every week. Another reason for the strength and mass gains has to do with the fact that you keep the weight steady on each exercise for all sets and you are forced to complete the minimum number of reps in that rep range.
Greater gains in strength and muscle mass are guaranteed with this program. I have seen some impressive results with this program. In men, I have seen gains of strength over 90 pounds on the squat and over 50 pounds on the bench press. And for muscle, some guys have gained over 15 pounds of muscle. Yes, pure muscle, while actually dropping body fat. Speaking of body fat, when maximizing body fat with my training and diet tweaks some men have lost over 20 pounds of body fat. And women have also seen impressive gains in strength and muscle while losing body fat. Women following my program have increased their squat strength by over 60 pounds, and bench press strength by 30 pounds. And gains in muscle of over 10 pounds and fat loss over 10 pounds.
But I’m not the only one to report insane gains in muscle size and strength with concomitant losses in body fat. Researchers from Federal University of Sao Carlos (Sao Paulo, Brazil) reported impressive results using a similar microcycle linear periodization program for 12 weeks. They had one group of female athletes follow a linear periodization program with weekly microcycles repeating three times for a total of 12 weeks and a second group following a reverse linear periodized program with microcycles for 12 weeks. While the linear periodized group started with 12-14 reps per set and ended each phase with 4-6 reps per set, the reverse linear group started each phase with 4-6 reps and ended with 12-14. They measured their muscle mass, body fat and strength on bench presses, lat pulldowns, barbell curls, and leg extensions before and after the 12 weeks. They reported that the linear group gained 7 pounds of lean muscle mass while the reverse group only gained 3 pounds of muscle. The linear group also lost over 5 pounds of body fat while the reverse group lost a little over 3 pounds of body fat. Although both groups increased strength on all exercises, the linear group made greater gains than the reverse group.
