Instructions:
Train 6-7 Days / WK - Maintain High Frequency with High intensity for
pulls and presses - Be Explosive and Use Momentum to overload pulling
movements (cheat); If a Plateau is hit or you've burn out, change the
variation of the movement or move on to an entirely new movement.
These cycles can sometimes last only a few days or a few weeks.
Always improve work capacity, and sleep / eat A LOT (GOMAD)
This is my take on Eric Bugenhagen's Bulgarian training style.
Remember: Keep daily volume LOW and Intensity HIGH for primary movement for optimal
recovery. Plateaus are overcome by using switching-out variations of the movement being
trained. I try to stick with 1 top set, but for squats I do 3-4 singles.
BASIC PREMISE FOR TRAINING ROUTINES
Instructions: Focus on one or two movements to perform daily until a plateau is hit.
When you hit a plateau, progress on another movement or change variation of current.
Cycles may last a few days or weeks.
Dedicate One day a week to Deadlifting, and Grip / Core Training.
Overhead Press (When stalled; Z-Press, BTN Push Press, Pin Press,
Overhead Extension Work, etc...)
Example Routine:
Building Tricep / Upper Back Base With some Glutes for the
sloots.
Instructions: Interchange (A) and (B) daily When plateau is hit, change variation of
main movements / accessories. Dedicate One day a week to Deadlifting, and Grip / Core
Training.

Close-Grip Bench Press
Day B:

choosing your rep ranges; but remember, you're training almost everyday.

That's it?
Yeah, brah. That's basically all there is to it. Just remember to stay tight
(brace core, squeeze glutes, and squeeze the bar until your knuckles are
white) or you'll snap your shit up and end up in beta limbo for months (bad.).
Add in whatever variations you enjoy.
It's best to focus on only 1-2 main movements per Routine Cycle.
You should also read books, so you're not a total meat-head. Physical training is
capable of only partially uneveiling the world's interworkings; you must study
History, Economics, Politics, Geo-Politics and History's great men in order to
become a true analyst of human nature and to see the big picture.
Final Notes:
This style of training is only appropiate for those who are at least moderately athletic
and are past the novice-phase of linear progression using beginner strength
programs, such as Starting Strength 3x5 or other 5x5 routines. It might also be too
time consuming to train daily without having access to a Home Gym, nor will a public
gym allow you to unleash the intensity needed to become the strongest version of
yourself.
[The Routines listed are examples I'm currently using for my own personal goals and the pulls /
preses can be switched out to suit your own needs. Like I have said, it's better to focus on only
one or two movements in any given cycle]
Credit has to go to Eric Bugenhagen and Pavel Tsatsouline for being the
main influence on the way I train and approach physical fitness.
