Special project

I need help for a special project I'm doing.

I'm trying to collect all the most popular fitness programs in the world and information on how to write them and build a program with them. I really dont care how effective the program is, I just need every popular program out there. I've already got HIT, Super Slow, Body Contract. Here's an example of what I got on Body Contract, and what I need from other programs.

=============================================
B.C (Body Contract) training.

Program typically involves 3 sets of 12 to 15 reps are done to failure, with eccentrics de-emphasized. The bar is then immediately loaded with 15% more weight, giving as little rest as possible (be quick in loading) and 3 to 4 heavy negatives are performed. A spotter must assist in lifting the weight, while the athlete spends 3 seconds on each eccentric. Rest 3 to 4 minutes before next set. Active recovery is encouraged between sets. Maintenance sets for muscles targeted in previous workouts are acceptable between sets. Maintenance work should include one set of 12 reps to failure, no eccentrics. Each muscle group is done twice a week – one BC, one maintenance. Warm up before BC is needed.

This program was invented by Dan Duchaine, who was considered a steroid guru ... (needs more info)

This program is best suited for strength and size increase, and ranks as "better" in the good-better-best system.

Performance may fall at 4 to 5 weeks. If this happens, take 1 to 2 weeks off by switching to maintenance work.

Example program: (given that its been 4 days since a biceps BC was performed)

Cable cross overs – 15 reps warm up.

Bench press – 12 reps / 1 set.
Rest 3 minutes
Bench 12 reps at 100 kg to failure (quickly load bar with 15 more kg) + 3 negative reps
Rest 2 minutes
Bicep curls – 12 reps, 1 set, eccentrics deemphasized.
Rest 2 minutes
Bench 12 reps at 100 kg to failure (quickly load bar with 15 more kg) + 3 negative reps
Rest 4 minutes
Bench 12 reps at 100 kg to failure (quickly load bar with 15 more kg) + 3 negative reps

Rest 4 days and perform a maintenance bench workout, then rest 3 days and repeat the above.

Rest 3 days and do a biceps BC workout. Then rest 4 days and do a biceps maintenance workout. It should fall on the same day as the chest BC workout.

Where impractical (abs, wrist, calves) – Apply 3 to 5 sets of 10 reps twice a week.

======================================

Pretty much I need information just like that on Bigger faster stronger, Bulgarian power burst training, Hardgainers system, and so on. Any help would be very much appreciated, as I cant seem to find all these programs online or find how they're supposed to be written.

Try corporate...?

Have you tried connecting with the corporate office of the franchise? www.superslowzone.com, I believe there's a "Contact Us" page.

Also, YouTube "SuperSlow" (no spaces, and WITH spaces) to find demos from others utilizing the protocol.

It's a protected (registered) protocol, so you probably won't (can't) get all the details, but the 10/10 is pretty well known and recognized as the basis.

Good luck!

Max-ot

I know that the MAX-OT originated from someone who represents AST products. I forgot his name. Go to www.ast-ss.com to find it. It's spelled out very clearly there.

A really popular one.. (or two actually)

Is "MAX-OT" and the other is "Rippetoe's Starting Strength"

I don't know them both in depth though sorry, but I do know you can get them online. Everyone and their mother's at Bodybuilding.com seem to have done one of the two.
