An experiment with Verkhoshansky's stimulation method

I am using these workouts during the switching phase of my Smolov cycle for front squats. This is from the last session of the switching phase. It's boring enough so I will show only the first front squat set and the first series of cleans...

Front Squat:
92.5% x 2 reps x 2 sets (5 min rest between sets)

rest 5 minutes

Clean:
80% x 1 rep x 6 sets x 2 series (one clean every ~20-30 sec; rest 5 minutes between series 1 and 2)

rest 10 minutes

Repeat whole complex...

I am using 130kg and 80kg here and though it doesn't look like much that workout is a killer.

im not sure front squat really would be the best exercise to contrast with the clean. maybe a heavy clean pull then clean ?

[sillyoffapilly]

when you say %80 for the clean, is that the % of your max on the clean? or the % of what you were squatting

I respect your hard work and would like to know what results you have yielded here.

Thanks,

Great way to train man. You're getting so much more out of those movements than a gym full of fancy equipment. Your set up is sweet, love it.

Great work! I love fron squats as well! But may I know what is Verkhoshansky's stimulation method?
