I've read Supertraining several times and I still don't completely understand it. I'm not the smartest man in the world, but I'm an attorney and I'm accustomed to reading complex & archaic writings. Your sample of Bondarchuk's training for throwers is really similar to mine for team sport athletes, primarily basketball players. Explosive movements first, completely recovered between jumps or throws; strength speed next, again being recovered between high pulls or power cleans, then a fairly short intense strength training bout, all set up to take advantage of phase potentiation at the start of the season. Of course, my younger athletes think they haven't done enough unless they are dead (especially if they've been to crossfit with their parents) so I'll let them do some some sled drags (forward and back) afterwards. I can't convince the crossfitters that doing cleans for time is both a terrible form of conditioning and a terrible form of training the athletic quality that cleans are designed to improve or test.

@Steven Lowe The man was a tremendous competitor. Vasily Alexyev was also extremely technically proficient in the two lifts. He was very smart with his training methods. While the vast majority of weightlifters focused so much effort on squats and not enough on developing the spinal erectors, Alexyev would often begin and end training with weighted hypertensions.That physical preparation was a huge factor correlated to his outstanding technique.

One hint that I am going to take away from this overview about "The Soviet System" is that you absolutely need a certain volume of training at "good intensity"" (high intensity, but still allowing a solid volume and good execution of the exercise over a long period), to build up strength and technique at the same time. After you have build up that foundation, you can start to go specific and rise the intensity of your workouts. A technique that has been implemented at that "good intensity" is certainly going to be maintained over the periods of the session when you go for higher intensity. I predict some influence of muscle memory and memory effects of the nervous system playing a vital part at this topic.

It's not ironic that their weightlifting system was democratically centralized. That is how their political system was as well. Socialism is the system that allows sports like weightlifting to flourish because it is that motivation and spirit that drives the athlete not greed. When all your basic needs are met and yah don't gotta worry about working 12 hour shifts for rent, food, healthcare etc. Yah can hit the gym through which the state provides coaches and such. Something available to all members of that society... not just the better off peoples.

@Mehdi Heshmati Generally speaking, I don’t believe Soviet coaches were big fans of the bench press exercise. Especially in the sport of wrestling, the athlete needs to be standing during the majority of the movements. A wrestler requires a serious level of strength and power in the stabilization muscles. Also keep in mind the barbell bench press is not a full range of motion exercise. So there is the possibility of reduced athletic mobility. From my understanding of Soviet sports training, they would much prefer the wrestler to avoid the bench and do something like power clean and strick press instead. The bench press definitely has its place in the toolbox of athletes. In my opinion the exercise should not be overemphasized in either volume or intensity. A lot depends on the specific sport in the exercise selection process. I think we can assume that even in the Soviet training system, the shot putters would do a significant amount of bench pressing.

If peds were the only difference then the states would have the same amount of winners but hey look at that they don’t so maybe instead of focusing on who is natty n bs like that we should focus on working harder since we ain’t win shit in years in lots of the sports I love n this dumb ped blaming is just wilful naïveté n jealousy that the same dose got other athletes from countries with way worse living conditions beating tf outta everyone here 😂😂
