East vs West

[Riccardo]

No not bloods vs crips. I'm talking training principles/philosophies.

Im doing an assignment on cultural evolution of training principles.

Can anyone here point me in the direction of some resources on eastern bloc training and in particular how philosophies on training spread from east to west or vice verse?

Tried googling but coming up with limited stuff.

Cheers.

Louie Simmons on Westside Barbell website has taken eastern bloc stuff for the WSB methods - worth a read. From the old Dynamo Club.

Dave Bates knows Sheiko stuff inside out. PM OB for his details.

James Smith on EliteFTS does a lot with transcription of documents. Search for his articles there.

My spellings hopeless but OB can point you in right direction for texts - VLADIMIR M. ZATSIORSKY, Dr Yuri Verkhoshansky etc

SP (Humphrey on Powerhouse forum) has heaps of translated training stuff from Russia - from beginner to Elite cycles of many IPF champs. PM him there.

Good luck.
