GET STRONG “ON THE EDGE OF CHAOS”
“…on many fronts, life evolves toward a regime that is poised between order and chaos,” wrote Stuart Kauffman, a medical doctor, theoretical biologist, and complex systems researcher. “…life exists at the edge of chaos… Networks in the regime near the edge of chaos—this compromise between order and surprise—appear best able to coordinate complex activities and best able to evolve as well.”
This describes Plan Strong™ programming to a “t.” Half a century ago Arkady Vorobyev, an Olympic weightlifting champion, sport scientist, and coach, developed his revolutionary variable overload training system which assured Soviet weightlifting dominance for two decades and the extraordinary records of the Russian powerlifting team in the XXI century.

In a nutshell, the system maintains the order by sticking with the same exercises. The surprise comes in the form of changes in the volume and intensity that are sharp, unexpected, and uncoupled from each other. In other words, the dogma of increasing the intensity while decreasing the volume and vice versa was thrown out of the window.

Go ahead, find a pattern. We dare you.

Stop wasting your time with inferior methods, get strong with the successor of that extraordinary system, Plan Strong™.

Fill out a detailed application and within a week we will e-mail you a detailed state of the art eight-week plan for up to four lifts of your choice:
- Kettlebell and barbell military press
- The three powerlifts (back squat, bench press, deadlift)
- Kettlebell and barbell front squat
- Weighted pullup, dip, pistol
|
|
The first 8-week plan took my kettlebell military press 1RM from 24kg to 28kg and my weighted pullup 1RM from 28kg to 32kg. My strict bodyweight pullups went up from 14 reps to over 20.

The Plan Strong methodology drastically improved my deadlift, 485 to 573 pounds at 165 pounds bodyweight. It has helped me pull over 3.25 times my bodyweight doing no assistance exercises.
