train like the times of old

Hello there,
Im trying to find powerlifting programs of the (not so...1980s) old time heavy weight lifters.
Dave Waddington, Fred Hatfield, Lee Moran etc etc
The days of huge cannonball shoulders, huge biceps/forarms.

I look in the old powerlifting USAs and see peaking routines, sometimes with assistance work...other times not.
Did they use these peaking programs all year round? one after the other?

what was in a normal weak?

Is there someone here who has more information about the training in this period of powerlifting?

Is there a book out there that covers this period?

There are scans of old powerlifting USA programs on another forum...but im not getting the full idea of how they train
