Interesting article. Wasn't surprised about much of the content. Hard to argue with their results.

Good article,

The only part I was surprised by was the mention of bodybuilding style assistance work. You get some coaches who seem to advocate doing absolutely nothing outside of the competition lifts and squat variations.

Had to stop reading at "Icing of the Testicles".. but thanks.

American thing?

I think their reasoning is definitely just (provided that they still make weight). Not exactly the same but similar to "powerbuilding". Focussing on the big 3 predominantly but doing assistance exercises in the BB rep ranges to promote more hypertrophy.

Training more than 3 days per week leads to overtraining--- said no Chinese weightlifter ever
