Interview with Pawel Najdek

Here is a Interview with Pawel Najdek. He is currently coaching Clarence Kennedy who has done the interview. The most interesting part for me is when they talk about training. The polish training regime also seems to be similar to the Bulgarian. Here is some sample provided in the interview page:

Bulgarian method spreadsheet

Here is a spreadsheet which is basically the spreadsheetized version of the things you can find under:

This is the plan created by Alex Krychev which was also mentioned here before. In my eyes this exact 16 week plan is used for very advanced lifters  (CMS or above) to peak for a competition. It is probably not very well suited for any lifter who is no professional weightlifter because of training 2 times a day 6 times a week.

I hope I didnt make any mistakes during the creation, if you find one tell me.

After copying it you might want to remove the funny conditional formatting I inserted to help me creating the formulas. For doing so select column B and then go to Format->Conditional Formatting. In the menu you can disable all formating by clicking on the "x" on the right hand side.

Features

• works with kg or pounds
• enter your maxes at the top part and it calculates your weights
• in the ‘Round to’ cell you can specify the next biggest multiple to which the percentages will be rounded to; for example 2.5 means weights will be rounded to the next biggest multiple of 2.5kg – so 71.85kg will round to 72.5kg

Bulgarian training template

At some lost place in the internet there can be found a template for Bulgarian style weightlifting training. It seems to be written by Alex Krychev who was a student of Ivan Abadzhiev (Ivan Abadjiev or whatever the spelling is). The program consists of 16 weeks for peeking for a competition at the end.
