Pavel Tsatsouline's fighter pullup program...

[ruberked]

I'm just curious, am I reading this correctly for the 15RM and 25RM programs??

15RMx12 as 15RM FOR 12 sets? And respectively for 25RMx20 as 25RM FOR 20 sets?

seems a bit much don't ya think?

I'm guessing he means reps. So of your max pullups is 15, on the first day your routine ends up being:
12, 10, 8, 6, 4. So 5 sets

Unless I'm completely out the ball park on this. The important thing is your making progression, even if its with 1 rep.

Yeah, I dunno....I'm not sure I follow. The x12 and x20 is still throwing me off even by what you're saying. I mean, I get the point of the routine but I'm more curious for my own reading comprehension than anything.

Thanks for trying to explain tho...My reading comp isn't the best at times!

I'm not sure if he's writing out the program by a Russian rep/set schema. IIRC they write set and reps differently than here in the West.

We read 4x10 as 4 sets of 10, they read it as 10 sets of 4. I think the full nomenclature is weight x rep x sets. eg. bench 315lbx x 4 x 10. Regardless though seeing a rep/set scheme as 15BW x 12,10,8,6,4 is something I've never seen before.

Ahhh I got it now....reading your op makes more sense now. Basically scaling back to 12 reps even tho you have a 15RM to save some gas in the tank to make progressions.

Ruskies...They can't just come out and speak teh engrish!!

Each number separated by a comma represents the number of reps in that set.
