This nigga is doing heavy singles of squats, clean and jerk and snatches TWO fucking times a day every single day + bodybuilding program inbetween. Even if we assume that he is on a horse dose of roids, how the fuck does he recover from session to session? How are his joints not completely destroyed?

Anyway, it's this thing called adaptation.

First time hearing of Bulgarian training? They either make you a world champion or they break you. That's why they have so many medals relative to their small population size.

He's half-Bulgarian. He was raised by his mother there but his father is Lebanese. Like a typical non-white, he dipped early.

Survivor bias. Also, he's only 21.

Wow. RIPs in pieces Careless Nascar that gonna end up super duper well.

He’s in his early 20s and on whatever Bulgarian nonsense cocktail of drugs they have. He will be obliterated by 30, but not without first becoming basically the goat. To some, it’s worth it

What is it with all these guys whose fathers abandoned them ending up super successful in some way

They guys from single mother households have worse outcomes, but I think its half the truth

I think guys from single mother households also have the best outcomes

It depends on how the guy responds

If you have a meek beta father in your life and thats whats imprinted on you, you wont get far in life, so maybe in that situation youre unironically better off being the kid of a single mother instead because at least you can imprint some unrelated gigachad as your father like andrew tate which will have you chasing the alpha/money lifestyle

It's easy to recover from heavy singles if they aren't maximal and there aren't additional sets being done, especially to failure. Doing too much volume and going to failure and too high an RPE is what causes fatigue and requires more time to recover.

>>76602431
If you do low volume you can recover faster

Top level athletics selects for people who can sustain top level athletics training
In fact this applies even at lower level, I've been involved in youth footie coaching in bongland and they just shred the kids, toss aside any that get injured/get sick/get tired, depressed or literally suicidal, and prioritise the kids that don't
He's also probably been doing this along time or all his life, and those sessions are probably pretty long, with lots of intraset rest
And he probably eats and naps and plays videogames between sessions
Two a days are common across all pro sports, usually you want to take a nap inbetween
As for bodybuilding day, it could really be a recovery session, pumping blood into the muscles and getting a nice stretch. He might walk out of the gym that day feeling more recovered than before

You're retarded if you think you can hit singles over 90% twice a day, every day without fucking your shit up. Guys like him are genetic outliers and roided to the gills.

i could do it too but i always got weird shoulder injuries even when not training shoulders
i guess it depends on the human

If you understood how strength training or muscle physiology works then you wouldn't be shocked at all.

Strength is very coordination dependant, and frequency of practise helps with coordination adaptations, but also muscle size dependant.

Muscle growth is muscle fiber specific, meaning that even if the muscle is "active" if some its motor units are left unrecruited many muscle fibers(particularly the ones governed by the highest threshold motor units) will be completely unstimulated,
and since exercises may have different levels of motor unit recruitment even with similar loading then you have to use similar exercises consistently if you want to get maximally strong at a particular movement or maximally develop the muscles worked in that movement.

Also working with very low reps is preferable for recovery because exercise induced muscle damage seems to be caused almost exclusively by calcium ion influx damaging your myofibrils and this influx is activation dependannt,
meaning that even if you're using lighter loads as long as long as the effort is maximal you will still be damaging much more fibers EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT STIMULATED TO GROW due to lack of mechanical tension(which is dependant on slow contraction velocity).
Yes, it's much harder to recover from higher rep work than lower rep work, which is why olympic weightlifters almost never use do it.

Also muscle fibers are always either being stimulated to grow or are shrinking due to lack of stimulus, so high frequency will always be better no matter what broscience fuckers tell you. We now know that muscle fibers start to shrink just a few days after last being stimulated with exercise, and this effect seems to be more drastic for high threshold muscle fibers.

That's how all these elite weightlifters train because it's what works at the elite level.

If training often is better than necessarily the intensity/volume has to go down right? So just getting easy, quality work in is better than busting your ass and doing it again after a week?

And how do roids change this equation? You had people like Arnold that trained a lot, and very often (at least twice a week and multiple times per day), and you also had guys like Tom Platz that trained legs once every two weeks or so.

You seem knowledgable but I understand that roids change the equation a lot.

>>76604703
hardly impossible unless youre doing like six sets of three 90% reps

if its just working up to a single daily 90% rep, teenagers in sports schools are doing that without a care in the world

>If training often is better than necessarily the intensity/volume has to go down right?
Usually yes but you still need high enough activation which requires high enough intensity no matter how often you train.
Using 1-2 reps in reserve helps reducing muscle damage but any more than that will greatly reduce the stimulus.
Fatigue/damage are what kill advanced lifters' progress.
>So just getting easy, quality work in is better than busting your ass and doing it again after a week?
You still need high enough activation under slow contraction velocity which requires either heavy loads for a few reps, or light loads for many reps each set, the former being way better than the latter.
The human body doesn't respond well to high volume in a given period of time be it 10 minutes or a whole workout, humans just like all animals respond better to short frequent bouts.
>And how do roids change this equation?
Once a lifter introduces a certain amount of gear into the equation he will grow no matter how he trains for at least a few months until his body acclimates to the constantly elevated androgens and it becomes his new "baseline" and a plateau is reached.
Only way to break that plateau is with more drugs or better training but usually more drugs have a stronger impact which makes it near impossible to determine optimal training methods if we only look at how genetic freaks on undisclosed amounts of gear train.

This is why elite weightlifters train like they do, they can't get their hands on all the drugs unlike strongmen/powerlifters/bodybuilders who just up the dose each time they plateau, so they are forced to maximize their training efficiency instead.
>Arnold
He changed his training several times in the past, he even trained with arthur jones in the 70s and admits he saw improvements.
Arthur jones made bodybuilders do 3x a week full body workouts with ~2 sets per muscle group.
>Tom Platz
Just like arnold he experimented with his training and dosages.
