Answers.
1. Why is traditional periodization based on 4 week cycles?
Back in the day, specifically in eastern block European countries, athletes trained at training facilities for 4 weeks. Then they went home for 2 weeks. Then they trained at the facilities for 4 weeks. Then they went home for 2 weeks.
The 4 weeks is there because that is the block of time they had to work with.
2. When did research in creatine and glutamine begin?
Lei was close on this one. The earliest research I have found was from 1952, Russia.
3. Who was the first to successfully use the box squat?
Karky hit this one. Bill "Peanuts" West is the guy Louie learned the box squat from. "Peanuts" Learned about the box squat from a Swedish lifter.
Guess where "West"side got their name from.
4. How were the original glute ham raises done?
I think Karky was close on this one. The Glute ham raise was done off of a pommel horse with the feet hooked into a rack or gym ladder. Below is a picture of a gym ladder.
5. What is the story of Milo generally used to describe progressive overload?
Milo of Croton was supposed to be a six time Olympic wrestling champion, starting in 540 BC. The reason he was successful for such a length of time was because of his massive strength. Here is how he did his strength training.
Milo would take a newborn calf, lift it over his shoulders, and carry it around the stadium. He would do this every day. As the calf grew, Milo's strength grew. Until he was carrying a full grown bull around the stadium.

Dude. I rock.
The truth is, I remember most all of the mythology I read. It's an interest of mine. It would be a long shot to go from Milo to Prometheus in one shot...because I have no idea what Milo means or whether or not it's even Italian. I think the Italian word for Prometheus is Prometheus
