Andrey Malanichev 500kg Squat

He is always leaving kilos on the platform and in training. From the first set of the macrocycle to the third attempt in comp. His sub maximal training is heavy enough to generate plenty of fatigue so he doesn’t ever really need to do sets at higher RPE. He doesn’t compete all that often either so he can just run cycle after training cycle most of the year.

Doesn’t need to grind out anything in comp either. Just plans to hit a RPE 9 or 9.5 and its enough for records.

If he is having a shit meet he can still hit his numbers, it’ll just be a higher RPE. If he is having a good meet he’ll probably just stay conservative anyway lel.

Lot’s of wiggle room and the end result is a new PR, WR and seemingly linear progress from competition to competition. That’s just squats tho. He seems “too” chill with his deadlifts like he is using them to put the polish on his new WR.
