The basic Power to the People! program which develops strength without bulk
calls for one heavy set of five reps and one set with 90% of that weight, for example
100x5, 90x5. A little comrade who wants to become the Big Brother should
not stop there. Reduce the weight to 80% of the first ‘money’ set, and keep doing
sets of five reps with short, 30-90sec, rest periods. When you have had enough,
that is you cannot lift 80x5 in good form, call it a day. It might take five or twenty
five sets, everyone is different.
