In the early 70’s the Soviet’s were the big dogs when it
came to Olympic weightlifting, they took medal after medal at every meet they
attended. It was like this until the small
eastern European country of Bulgaria came and took over. It was their unique training style that
helped them to reach the top. The program
consisted of working to a training maximum for each exercise on every day of
training. This is the inspiration
behind the current training program I follow.
I do not work to a 1 RM but I do find a rep max that I am able to handle
for the day and then repeat following sets with around 85% of the rep max acquired
that day. This allows me to use auto
regulation with the training intensities used to keep form over training my
body.
