A LOT, and I mean, A LOT, of max effort training. The Bulgarian training system is unique compared to any other training system, but, highly controversial as well. The Bulgarians are this generations Spartan warrior, IMO. Minus the killing of course, LOL. Multiple max effort workouts a day, so 85% and up! Even when they feel like shit, they keep training & look at that as an opportunity to make a breakthrough! They call it their, "Period of adaptation". Read up on it, it's fascinating stuff!

Weightlifting has always been a strong tradition in Bulgaria, going as far back as the 1400s. I read that in the 1885 war between Bulgaria and Serbia, most of the fighting was done by way of hand to hand combat rather than from long range firing. This proved to be the doom of the Serbian army whose troops were easily overpowered by the weightlifting and wrestling trained Bulgarian troops whom, if they did not have time to reach for their rifles or knives, simply (ugh) choked them to death. Needless to say, the Bulgarians very easily won that war!

RAMMSTEIN ER No doubt about it, man, the Bulgarians are tough. They used the same tactics against the Serbs during the First World War. One British soldier who visited a field of dead Serb soldiers remarked how there were no bullet or stab wounds on many of them, only "large and unsightly red rings around their necks, their lips a dark blue due to lack of oxygen, and in some instances, the necks completely broken". Those poor Serbs never had a chance. And one Bulgarian POW was quoted as saying that while he and his fellow soldiers would kill opponents from other countries quickly with rifles, they always preferred "making the Serbs suffer and die slowly". I never realized the hatred was so strong.

Because indeed the Bulgarians were the reason all others to piss their pants for decades in weightlifting contests. Being proud of your blood makes many people feel sick, because they know they never did and they will never do what the Bulgarians achieved. Because they know that 4 out of the only 6 humans in the world who lifted 3 times their bodyweight above the head are of Bulgarian kin. Because no matter how many dirty tricks they apply against the Bulgarians and the Bulgarian weightlifting, inside they know that this the only way the Bulgarians can be stopped. Being Bulgarian is a privillege and having a Bulgarian blood in the veins is a gift from nature, so head up!

Teres Sibrov if bulgarians are so strong why today they are less than zero in weightlifting competitions? Why they have been 200 years under East Roman and 500 years under Ottoman rule? Why there is no Bulgarian Strongman champions in world class competitions? Or even in CrossFit competitions? Your comment is full with absurdity. There is one korean, one chinese two Turkish two Bulgarian-which one was banned because of tested positive for doping- who lift 3 times their bodyweight. By the way there is just 4 weightlifters who became 3 times Olympic champion. Two of them are Turkish and other two are Greek. So its depends on system discipline and dedication, not nationality.

My point is simple... if our elite athletes chose to compete in whatever obscure sport, strength sports included, you would get crushed. Hence the reference to Rugby and how if you took a Probowl NFL team, taught them rugby for 3 to 6 months, they would not only beat all of the competition, people would nearly die, simply because these dudes are freaks. They would excel at any sport, but because football, or basketball is where the money is, thats what they do, rather than waste their time.

These guys are perfect examples of the physiological fact that some (more like few, very few) get stronger, not larger/heavier, as a result of strength training. Pro bodybuilders are the opposite sides of this bell curve distribution, they get much larger/heavier w/out getting anywhere near as strong as they appear. I love the little midget who looks like Tattoo from Fantasy Island cleaning what appears to be 3x+ his bodyweight.

Its quite definitely possible for all of them to take steroids and not be caught because of the weak testing methods used in the olympics. You can find numerous interviews from ex-competitors and coaches saying that the athletes are generally always about 10 steps ahead of the commission with their masking agent etc. The only unbeatable system is the one they use in australia where they do numerous hormonal tests over a 24 hour period and look for the changes.

thats why you go 80% followed by a max auxiliary lift, unlike the bulgarians who stuck to sticktly maxing on core lifts and fs, the russians miantain technique with the sets of 80%, they stronger from max aux lifts which are specific to each athletes needs, which in turn fixes the lifters weak point and makes the core lift increase. and they do go up to 90% in soviet programs. i dont know anyone who can do their 90% for more than four reps(which is seldom in its self).
