Re: Bulgarian Training Supplements

[Guest guest]

If you think the Bulgarians are going to tell the world ALL of their

training secrets including their supplementation, you are out of

your mind, respectfully. From those that have traveled to Bulgaria

or have communicated with their personnel, even though they are able

to talk with their athletes and coaches or watch training, they

really never get to see or hear the whole story. To be sure their

training has changed a little over the years- near max loads nearly

all the time; more classical lifts as opposed to pulls or jerks;

little if any back squatting and inclusion of one legged movements.

But the surprise is their ablility to handle heavy loads repeatedly

with less rest than most are accustomed to and with no mental

hesitancy. Of course this is a summary and relayed from friends who

have visited.
