Power to the People (No Not Pavel)

As the title implies, I won’t be talking about Pavel’s Power to the People program.

This is my own version of an all-around program to build overall power throughout the entire body.

Power simply put is merely the use of heavy weights and selected movements which impose an extra demand on the muscles which respond by getting stronger and larger.

Heavy weights and the right exercises are key.

There are many advocates of power training who say that high sets with low reps are needed to develop power. With some that may be the case, but everyone is different.

I’ve trained many who responded well to low set-medium rep, and low set-higher rep training. You must experiment to see what works for you.

The workout below is a lower set-low rep program. Try it out for a month and if you see zero strength gains, switch to a higher set routine. The key is to lift heavy weights. No routine will develop power if you’re using bunny weights.

Power to the People (No Not Pavel) Routine

Overhead Press 5 x 3
Bench Press 3 x 6
Barbell Curl 5 x 3
Bent Over Row 5 x 3
Squats 2 x 8

Notes: Perform this routine three days per week. If too much for you, drop it down to two days per week. As always, increase poundages whenever possible, eat right, get adequate rest, and drink lots of water. Train hard and heavy and you can’t go wrong.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
