POWER TO THE PEOPLE PROFESSIONAL.
A strong man understands that there is no one right way to train and that there are many 'ifs'
and 'buts'. He is not going to get side tracked from his plan by the latest cool routine. He will read
it, ponder it, crunch some numbers, compare what he sees with his training log. If impressed, he
might consider trying out the whole plan in the off-season or he will carefully add just one new
variable to his current regimen. A greenhorn will chase many rabbits at once and catch none.
Power to the People Professional is an anthology of articles on advanced powerlifting training,
loaded with this type of 'forbidden' training information, exciting and contradictory. The book
contains most of the articles from my Power to the People Monthly newsletter, with the exception
of the ones that dealt with intermediate rather than advanced training and the ones not relevant to
powerlifting, plus a couple of pieces I have written for other powerlifting publications. Some of
the articles are straightforward coverage of "how they do it in Russia", others are my original
work based on years of research and experimentation. My sources ranged from leading Russian
powerlifting publications Mir Sili and Zhelezniy Mir to weightlifting and neuroscience textbooks
and research papers, as well as personal communication with lifters, coaches, and scientists. You
are about to learn that there is no such a thing as 'the' Russian system. Russia spans twelve time
zones and even in the days of communist centralization it boasted a great variety of athletic training
ideas. The Russian systems have only one thing in common. The strength they deliver.
If you are a member of the ruling iron elite, dig into Power to the People Professional and add hundreds
of pounds to your total. If you are a beginner, as a Russian joke goes, "burn before reading".
