Program Notes 
 
This is only a sample schedule. You can structure the exercises in any 
reasonable way. The key thing to remember is not to overwork movement 
patterns. Try to focus on exercise variation rather than pushing hard on the 
same barbell movements multiple days per week. 
 
Squats​. Start with a weight you can perform about 12 reps with. If you’re 
not sure, find an online one-rep-max calculator and reverse engineer an 
appropriate amount of weight. 
 
Use the same weight for each day of the week. So, if your 12-rep-max is 
225 pounds, your week would look like this: 
 
● Monday 225x7 
● Tuesday 225x8 
● Thursday 225x9 
● Friday 225x10 
 
The following week, add five pounds to the bar. Your week will look like 
this: 
 
● Monday 230x7 
● Tuesday 230x8 
● Thursday 230x9 
● Friday 230x10 
 
Please don’t discount the power of slow, steady progression. Five pounds a 
week adds 20 pounds to your squat each month. 
 
Triceps and Biceps​. Alternate each day between a triceps and biceps 
exercise. It’s probably a good idea to focus on two or maybe three biceps 
or triceps exercises. Pick something you enjoy and that is appropriately 
challenging. 
 
Traps/Abs/Calves​ - Train as needed. This is a personal preference. 
 
Progression ​-​ S
​ ets with no instructions… Use the same weight for each set 
of this exercise and add weight when it makes sense. 
 
Honestly, any style of progression will work as long as you carve it in stone 
and follow it. This program is a general template. My hope is that it will 
inspire you to try new things. 
 
Back in 2009 and 2010, I created the Drunk Russian program. Training the 
entire body five days each week was considered a scandalous concept. I 
ran a training log on both Muscle and Brawn and Muscle & Strength. You 
can find my old M&S log by Google searching “Steve’s Drunk Russian Log.”
