Transform your body with Strip 18 Training and get more out of every set you do. Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle growth or both, the program adapts to your individual situation, with dedicated versions for men and women.
The method is simple: every set is built around 18 quality reps. When you’re one rep short of failure, strip the weight down and keep going straight away. This pushes you past the point where a normal set ends, recruiting more muscle fibres and driving a bigger training response from every session.

WHAT IS STRIP 18?
Every set is built around 18 hard, quality reps. Instead of stopping when you hit your limit, you strip the weight down and keep going straight away. That pushes each set further than a normal set, which means more time under tension and a bigger training stimulus in less time.
Each session uses four exercises done as a giant set, with short rest periods. The result is a fast, intense workout that fits into 40 minutes, three times a week, with a 6 week structure built in.
FAT LOSS SETS (ONE STRIP)
After warming up, choose a weight you think you can lift for 9 reps with good form. When you’re one rep short of failure, drop the weight by 10 to 20% and keep going until you hit 18 total reps.
Don’t worry if you need to strip at rep 6 or 7 instead of 9. Use the first set to adjust your starting weight for the rest. The goal is simple: 18 challenging reps with proper form.
HARDER IS BETTER
These sets should feel tough. Don’t coast with weights that are easy for you. The harder you push within good form, the more you get out of every session.
MUSCLE GROWTH SETS (TWO STRIPS)
If you want to build muscle while losing fat, use heavier weights and add a second strip:
- Start with a weight you can lift for 6 quality reps
- Drop the weight by 10 to 20% and do 6 more reps straight away
- Drop again by 10 to 20% and finish the final 6 reps
You’ll use three different weights in one set, so set up near the dumbbell rack before you start. Expect a serious pump.
FOR WOMEN
Strip 18 is a great fit for women who want to lose body fat and tone up, including the glutes, with short, efficient sessions that fit around a busy week.
HOW MANY ROUNDS SHOULD YOU DO?
One round means all four exercises done back to back with 60 seconds rest between each. Most people do best with 3 to 4 rounds per session (12 to 16 working sets, not including warm up). Experienced lifters chasing maximum muscle growth can go up to 5.
Adjust based on how you’re recovering that day. Sleep, stress, nutrition, training experience and goals all play a part.
KNOW WHEN TO STOP
More sets is not always better. Doing extra volume for the sake of it eats into your recovery and stalls progress. If you’re completely spent after 3 rounds, that’s your session done. Three intense rounds with short rest and strip sets is more work than most people do in 90 minutes.
