Teutonic Workout Program
October 18, 2007
Back in the days before the fall of the Soviet Union and the death of Communism in Eastern Europe, the East German weightlifting team was a world power.
The Germans developed a program much different from what the Russians or Bulgarians were doing.
The big difference was with the squat. The East Germans would squat only once a week, unheard of for Communistic countries well known for their mass consumption of performance enhancers.
They would squat once a week, snatch twice a week and press four days per week: alternating the overhead, bench, incline and decline.
I have modified the old program, renamed it the Teutonic Workout and present it to you below. The days are shortened from four days a week to two and the incline and decline are eliminated for the dip.
As always, this is just a template. Tailor all your workouts to what works for you. Just remember no matter what you do – lift hard, heavy and intense.

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.
