Mash Mafia Bulgarianish Program
Below is a program that is Bulgarian in nature as far as the lifts go, but I use a few more complexes than they would. It still has essence of my squat routine, more assistance than they would use, and some cool Bro Sessions that I want you guys to use to target your own weaknesses. For the Bros sessions, I suggest Overhead carries, asymmetrical carries, pullups, Bentover Rows, Dips, Plate Raises, etc.
To give back, here are a few specials that we are running until the end of Monday December 1st:
