Amped- The Russian Bench program is a 10 week bench program done twice a week. Preferably on mondays and fridays. It is taken off of your 1 Rep Max and percentages are used...for example...my press max is 225 lbs.

Week 1- 6x2- 180 lbs. (80 % 1RM)
Week 2- 6x3- " "
Week 3- 6x4- " "
Week 4- 6x5- " "
Week 5- 6x6- " "
Week 6- 5x5- 190 lbs. (85% 1RM)
Week 7- 4x4- 200 lbs. (90% 1RM)
Week 8- 3x3- 215 lbs. (95% 1RM)
Week 9- 2x2- 225 lbs. (100% 1RM)
Week 10- NEW MAX

Hope that helps, its a great program, I am on week 6 right now and I feel great. Try it out.

that was one hell of a workout man. Your biceps are crazy strong and you dont have any real weak points at all in strength bro. Bench program is doing you some good, I cant wait for you to give that MM2K program a try, you'll love that one. Catch you later bro, I'm lookin forward to seeing a mighty leg session tomorrow.

Hey Q thanks for the insparation man. Means a lot to me when the strongest guy on the site stops by. I appreciate it man. And to everyone else, ya'll are the best and ya'll keep me motivated beyond belief.

Here we go, LEG DAY!

7/18/06

Leg Ext.- 10x120 lbs., 8x130 lbs., 6x140 lbs.
Standing Leg Curls- 10x50 lbs, 8x75 lbs., 6x100 lbs.
Russian Squat Program- 6x6- 240 lbs.
Leg Press- 10x350 lbs., 8x450 lbs., 6x500 lbs.
Standing Calves- 3x15- 90 lbs.

There we go. I hit them hard and in that order. I like the fact that I did curls and ext. first. Squats were a little harder because of that, it was good shit. Peace boys.

hitting Squats third, man that had to burn like hell when you did get to them. Still respectable weight on them as well. Leg Press is looking good as well bro, you hit it hard for sure, excellent session man.

LOL, it's perfectly fine to be okay brother and this is not what I'd consider a "light" abs day anyways! Looks like a good amount of work and it's good to see you're not neglecting the minor muscle groups like abs. Keep at it brother :2:
