the bulgarian team no longer does back squats lol
your are either a troll or an idiot,
the bulgarians, like every other team in the world, squat both front and back
maybe all they do is steps ups, right? like that article from dynamic eleiko claimed a few years ago?
nice trolling job, btw, very suckmymusle-like or whatever that guys name is lol
IT'S 0BVI0US THAT Y0U KN0W VERY LITTLE AB0UT WEIGHTLIFTING AND BULGARIAN METH0D AND IT'S EV0LUTI0N 0VER THE YEARS BY C0ACH ABAJIEV. I'VE SEEN SEMINARS AND INTERVIEWS WITH HIM AND THEY ST0PPED D0ING BACK SQUATS. THEY USED T0 D0 BACK SQUATS BUT THEN ELIMINATED THEM DURING THE PEAK 0F THE BULGARIAN D0MINANCE.
In 1969 when Abadjiev took over as national coach, the team used 19 exercises in their training. Over the next 20 years, as he continually adapted his program, exercises were progressively discarded until 1986 when his lifters performed just 5 (Snatch, Power Snatch, Clean and Jerk, Power Clean and Front Squat) and exclusively for single repetitions. Throughout this period the team's results in International competition continued to improve and Bulgaria became the top weightlifting nation in the world.
Popular weightlifting 'assistance exercises' such as pulls, deadlifts and
back squats were discarded because their movement path and speed of execution does not exactly mirror that used in the competition lifts. Abadjiev states that all available adaptation energy must be committed to exercises with the greatest cross over (i.e. snatch, clean + jerk and front squat!).

This type of training causes substantial skeletal and central nervous system fatigue that reduces the quality of future workouts.
The value of step-ups and stationary lunges for weightlifters. The Bulgarian national team did not perform special leg exercise such as step-ups and lunges with the rear foot elevated. “The squat was the fundamental exercise. When one Bulgarian lifter had wrist surgery and could not do the lifts, he was instructed to squat eight times a day and yet he still made exceptional progress in this exercise.”
Krychev also says that squats of higher reps, such as 5 or 10, “are counterproductive for the development of a weightlifter.”N0T 0NLY THIS BUT THE M0ST D0MINANT TEAM IN THE HIST0RY 0F 0LYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING WITH SHATTERING REC0RDS NEVER DID MULTIPLE REPITI0NS AS S0ME 0F Y0U M0R0NS CLAIMED THEY D0. H0LY SHIT THIS IS 0NE 0F THE BIGGEST 0WNAGES IN GETBIG HIST0RY. ASBRUS SINGLE HANDIDLY DESTR0YS THE TR0LLS AND M0R0NS IN THIS THREAD.
