greetings good people of T-mag! i am gene from the philippines and i came accross one of your magazines (old ones though) . you featured one article in your # 149 issue (the one with the “squat big” article) entitled “from russia with love”. i think it’s a good program if it wasn’t too vague for me!
the first program you called "the soviet peaking cycle" was too vague for me coz i dont know too much techinicalities regarding work out programs. anyway, i'd like to ask you guys what you meant by this ----> 45% x 8-10 for the first set on the first week at day 1 (and etc). what was the 45% for? it's 45% of what? is 8-10 the number of reps? how many sets do i have to do? how many body parts can i apply this program?
and lastly, dear helpful sirs, please elaborate on the other program (soviet squat routine) well it’s as vague as the first one. 80% (6x2)? what do these numbers stand for?
that would be all, sirs. i hope you’ll find time replying to my mail. thank you and more power…
hoping for your reply soon,
Gene T.
