    Hi! Since the Russian Squat Program is designed for squats and presses decided to run it on my thrusters. My actual 1rm is upwards of 230 but decided to go with 222 just to be safe. My goal is a thruster at 245, 275 and eventually 300. For anyone who is experienced with RSP please share any stories, thoughts and advice. Thanks

    I suggest you use the Bulgarian - German Volume Training Method for Thrusters. 7 Days per week, 2 times per day, 10 sets of 10 per session. This is my go-to program for all new incoming clients at my gym and my Masters Meet Prep Cycle. Of course the week before we do a meet I deload them to 9 x 9. Seems obvious. Be sure to hydrate and stretch for recovery.
