just a support comment for this video for skeptics of this table, I'm a Kinesiology major and I pretty much paid $500 for a prof with 2 post-docs in weight lifting to tell me how this table works. and work it does
this table works. the soviets were geniuses when it came to this stuff.

Some Russians may have used Prilepin's training guidelines (others, trained by other Soviet coaches, certainly did not). And they all got creamed for three decades by tiny Bulgaria, which rejected the Soviet system entirely. One suspects that this "works" in the sense that lots of training programs "work." Optimal, or even better than others? Who knows? You won't find many Russian WL coaches using this stuff today.

@PlatzSquatz Agreed. Nobody said this was the only way to train.

you make it sound like you never lift to failure. how do you get maximum results if you don't lift to failure, and why do the total number of sets at any given percentage vary; what are the usual number of sets?

@KORZAHK We do NOT lift to failure in the competitive lifts (SQ, BP, DL) unless we're in the off-season or trying something new. When you train to failure, your form gets sloppy and you're reinforcing a bad motor pattern. Our objective is to become as technically proficient as possible. I'd rather nail two perfect doubles, then do a sloppy set of four. The number of sets varies upon the lifter, where they are in their preparation for a contest, how they feel that specific day, etc.
