STS applies technology to proven exercise scientific research from accredited sources.
We do not create our own theories on strength and conditioning. We take the principles generally agreed upon from many sources of exercise and fitness research and apply technology to create workout plans with precision and amazing results.
"As a former USSR Olympic Athlete in Modern Pentathlon, I have extensive educational record and work experience in the field of athletics and rehabilitation, and can tell, that finally there is a system which will help to plan programs from fitness workout to athletic training as well as rehabilitation purposes. I personally recommend [STS]* to everyone who cares about the health and fitness of themselves or others."

Free STS Weight Lifting Plan Routine Analyzer
An essential element of a weight lifting Plan is a physiologically correct weight lifting Plan routine.
The Plan Generator will take any routine and create correctly constructed set rep scheme with optimized progressive resistance. It can even assemble a routine based on your objectives.
You may prefer to create your own customized routine. That is why we provide this Free Routine Analyzer.
A routine that exercises the same muscle multiple times is the most common insanity in workout plans.
Insanity, because over-training takes more effort, more time, and achieves less results.
We offer a FREE software utility that can assist you in selecting the proper exercises for your weight lifting Plan routine. This Plan displays the muscles worked by each exercise. It can analyze your routine checking for muscles that are overworked. Over-training is due to multiple exercises that work the same muscles. Over-training a muscle is the most common workout routine mistake resulting in less than optimal performance.
You can also print (List) all the muscles in your routine categorized by exercise.
When an exercise is selected, a list of the muscles for that exercise is displayed in the lower right hand corner. A detailed picture, with the worked muscles highlighted in color, and a description of the proper technique is in the muscle reference book on the page indicated.
Extremely easy to use and very effective.

Simplified Answers to Questions Near Top of this Page
NOTE: If you disagree with any of these answers and you are qualified through an accredited program, we would like to hear your opinion.If you disagree and your fitness education comes from reading commercial fitness periodicals, and or listening to some idiot at the Gym, write you opinion on a piece of paper, put it in an envelope, and address it to someone else that might give a shit!
Q How many days should you workout per week?
A The number of Days per Week is based on the number of months you have been working out.
- More than 18 months, 7 days
- 13 - 18 months, 6 days
- 7 - 12 months, 5 days
- 3 -6 months, 4 days
- Less than 3 months, 3 days
Exercises are sequenced from the largest muscles (legs) to the smallest (wrist). The larger muscles require the most energy. If you do the larger muscles last you may not have adequate energy left for them.
Then multi-muscle group (e.g. bench press, chest and arm) exercises before single muscle group e.g. curl, arm).
High intensity before low intensity. High intensity is heavier weight and less reps.
Q How many sets should you do for each exercise in your routine?
A The number Sets is based on the number of months you have been working out.
- More than 5 months, 6 sets
- 5 months, 5 sets
- 4 months, 4 sets
- 2-3 months 3 sets
- Less than 2 months, 2 sets
A The number of reps depends on whether you want to increase muscle strength or muscle mass.
Q How do you optimize your set/rep scheme for strength or increasing muscle mass?
For strength you lift more weight and do 1-3 reps per set. This will minimize muscle mass while maximizing strength.
For toning you want to maximize muscle mass. This is done by lowering the amount of weight you lift per set and increase the number of reps. The maximum safe number of reps per set is 16 - 18 reps. For toning the reps per set should vary from 9 to 16.
The number reps should vary from set to set. This makes a set/rep scheme. Your set/rep scheme should vary each day in your workout schedule. This variation is necessary so your muscles do not adapt to your set/rep scheme.
Q How much time do you wait between sets?
A 2-3 minutes for strength optimization and 1 minute or less for increasing muscle mass. Adenosine TriPhosphate (ATP), which is directly linked to training for strength, or, more specifically, to neural recovery (the main factor involved in increasing strength levels). Brief rest periods (30-60 seconds) are aerobic in nature, and antagonistic to strength development.
ATP transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy source during cellular respiration and consumed by cellular processes including cell division.
Chart from an article written by Maki Riddington
General Guidelines
From an article written by Maki Riddington
Q How much weight do you lift each set?
A You end your set with the maximum you can lift that day. You increase your workload by 10% for each set from first to last.
The maximum for each day is calculated by projecting your total maximum gain for the number of weeks in your schedule (typically 4 weeks). You then divide the max gain by the number of days in the schedule. This gives you the gain per day. You then increase you current capacity by the daily gain for each workout day in your schedule.
Your current capacity is the maximum weight you can lift one time (one rep max). The International Weightlifting Federation research dating back to the 1970's came up with a chart for the number of reps you can lift a certain weight based on your current one rep max. This chart applies to all people regardless of age, sex, experience, etc. Roughly if you can lift a certain weight one rep then you can lift 5% less two reps. The amount of weight decreases about 5% for each rep increase up to 5 reps. For more than 5 reps the incremental decrease in weight per rep decreases to about 2.5%. Other studies conclude that the weight may decrease to 2.5% after as little as 2 or 3 reps.
Your maximum gain per plan period is determined by age and number of months you've been working out. Someone under 30 and just beginning to workout can expect an 8% gain with a 4-6 week workout schedule. For every year over 30 gain is decreased by 0.01% to 0.2% in the last 2 weeks of a 4 week plan depending on months of workout experience.
