THE CODE TO
BE STRONG
FORGET SET X REPS.
Your progress is largely a math problem. Most programs don't know their own numbers. StrongCode does.
WHAT IS
STRONGCODE
Every program can be broken down to its building pieces and analyzed. Average intensity, total volume, volume at different intensity zones, how both are distributed across weeks and sessions. All of these and their relations can be expressed mathematically. Optimal programs follow specific rules between these parameters — what range the average block intensity should fall in, how volume relates to it, how both should be distributed within a block depending on its goal. Most programs don't follow any of these rules. Not because the rules don't exist, but because most program designers don't know what they are. StrongCode is built on those rules.
“In science and engineering the solution that meets all the set requirements at a minimal cost is called optimal.”— Arkadij Vorobyev
HOW IT
WORKS
Fill out the survey
We collect your current 1RMs, rep tests at 75/85/92.5%, recovery capacity, external stress level, and training frequency. These aren't just profile data — they're the inputs the calculations run on.
We build your program
A coach reviews your data, sets the parameters, and the system calculates the data. The coach then builds the sessions — exercise selection, set structures. Numbers plus experience.
TRAIN. LOG. GET STRONGER.
Follow the program. Don't add volume, don't skip the lighter sessions — they're lighter on purpose. The minimum block is 8 weeks. Results compound at 12+ weeks because the volume dynamics need time to produce their effect.
WHO IS
IT FOR
StrongCode is for lifters who already know how to train but have stopped making progress on fixed set × rep programs. If you've been adding weight to the bar week after week and it stopped working — that's the point where how you organize volume starts to matter more than how hard you try.
- You have solid technique in the squat, bench, and deadlift (or equivalent lifts)
- Linear progression has stalled — adding weight week over week no longer works
- You want to know exactly how much work you're doing and why
- You want programming built from your actual numbers, not a generic template
“Lift as heavy as possible, as much volume as possible, while remaining as fresh as possible.”— Steve Freides
WHAT TO
EXPECT
Expect steady progress over months, not dramatic peaks followed by burnout. You will rarely train to failure. You will lift heavy weights more often than you're used to — but leave the gym feeling capable of more.
Can we promise exceptional results? Certainly not. Outcomes vary greatly from person to person and are influenced by external factors beyond the program's control.
The program controls what it can control: volume, intensity, distribution, progression. Recovery — sleep, nutrition, stress — is on you. Keep stress levels low, have quality sleep, and maintain a balanced diet, and you're setting the stage for success.
PRICING
Example: 2 months × 3 lifts (squat, bench, deadlift) = 234 USD / EUR
Example: 3 months × 3 lifts = 351 USD / EUR. Longer blocks produce better results — the volume dynamics need time.
“Individualize reps per set keeping the same volume and intensity.”— A. V. Chernyak
