Charlie T Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 The Preparation of International Class Weightliftersstyrke.netIvan AbadjievBulgariaThe continuously increasing athletic achievements require quicker and quickerrates of development of the necessary motor qualities. These requirements,for their part, will stimulate a constant perfecting of the means and methodsof preparation.Now, as before, the average top competitive lifetime in the sport ofweightlifting is 15 years. The peaks are reached after 5-6 years, and thebeginning of the waning is after the 9th-10th year. The Soviet competitor, VStogov and his first rival, Charles Vinci, in the above mentioned time frame,in the age interval 20-30 years, achieved the following results in bothclassical movements: 105, 135 kg, and our competitor, Naim Suleimanov in 5years, at 15-years of age, has already achieved 125 and 160 kg. It isevident that the latter has developed very efficiently and is developingfaster than most other lifters.Basic Principles underlying Bulgarian Weightlifting MethodsIn his research, the Soviet scientist F.Mirson found out that the functionsof the living cell interact with its genetical apparatus to provoke therelevant structural changes necessary for the enhancing greater functionalcapabilities. Already, in his time, I.P. Pavlov had discovered that afterthe breakdown of ‘overnormal’ albumin quantities in the human body anintensive synthesis of new albumins is provoked in additional quantities, asa consequence of which tissue mass and overall bodymass is increased.A Soviet team of scientists succeeded in extracting a special kind ofmetabolite from the muscles of animals suffering from starvation and where intheir bodies a significant protein disintegration was taking place. Thisactive metabolite was extracted, processed into drug form, injected inanimals, and found to improve the assimilation and to activate the synthesisof simple and compound proteins. The end result after application of theseactive metabolites is an increase in the muscle mass and weight of thestimulated animals. Such metabolites are extracted also from animals afterexhausting physical activity.The training process of the Bulgarian weightlifters is in conformity with theabove mentioned physiological regularities. Through increasing the trainingloading the cell functions in the body are also increased and at the sametime the quantity of disintegrated proteins is also increased. In this way,the continuously disintegrating loadings in the cycles, periods, and stagesof preparation represent a stimulus for the changes in the bodies of thetraining weightlifters, which are related to their force possibilities.The structural changes in the body and the increase of the muscle mass aresome of the agents for raising the force possibilities.The other factor on which force and efficiency depend is long known by thespecialists, but for some reason it wasn't used adequately by many athleticpedagogues.Intramuscular CoordinationThis problem is very well explained by Dr Zatsiorsky. Intramuscularcoordination is a process of coordinative action of the synergist andantagonist muscles. When the synergists (working muscles) are contracting,their antagonists must be optimally relaxed. Intramuscular coordination istypical of people who have performed repeatedly physical movements of acertain form, degree, character, and effort. The more repetitions of certainmotive actions, the better the intramuscular coordination of the muscles andfibres participating in the motor action.The lower the qualification of the athlete, the smaller number of repetitionsof the characteristic for the competitive sport movements he has done.Intramuscular coordination is connected with economizing of the energydemands during an action in return for non-counteraction by the antagonistmuscle. In this way intramuscular coordination is connected with the workingcapacity. The better the intramuscular coordination, the higher the workingcapacity. This could explain the fact that 15-year old Naim Suleymanov,weighing 56 kg, can lift 160 kg, while some 25-30 year old lifters who areweighing 120-130 kg can only lift 100 kg. In this case the weightlifters'muscle mass is much bigger, but their intramuscular coordination is differentfrom that of Suleymanov. That is why they perform the movements heavily withthe bar, making great energy demands, but with low efficiency.Bearing in mind the importance of the positive changes in the body as aresult of raising its function and the role of intramuscular coordination forthe increase in its efficiency, we have devised training programmes inaccordance with the above mentioned requirements for the Bulgarianweightlifters.MONDAY:9.00 - 9.30 Front squat9.30 - 10.00 Break10.00 - 11.00 Snatch11.00 - 11.30 Break11.30 - 12.30 Jerk12.30 - 13.00 Front squat16.30 - 17.30 Jerk17.30 - 18.00 Break18.00 - 19.00 Snatch19.00 - 19.30 Front squat19.30 - 20.00 Snatch pulls each 5 times repetitions and jerk pulls 5 x 3TUESDAY.9.00 - 9.30 Back squat9.30 - 10.00 Break10.00 -10.45 Power snatch10.45 - 11.45 Break11.45 - 12.00 Power jerk12.00 - 12.30 Front squat12.30 - 13.00 Both pulls /5 x 3 each/WEDNESDAY and FRIDAY like MONDAYTHURSDAY and SATURDAY like TUESDAYWhat are the characteristics of these training programmes?Well, they assure a great volume of work, by which is assured powerfulfunctioning of the working organs, as well as the execution of a large totalnumber of repetitions.When powerful functioning and high number of repetitions are discussed, wemust remark that these big quantities are focused largely on the perfectingof sport technique. The more repetitions, the more corrections are learned,and the greater the smoothing of the movements. Technique is connected withcorrections of the movement's form and with intramuscular coordination. Thatis why the large volume achieved by the Bulgarian lifters also facilitatestheir technical perfection. Great athletic skill is reached not only throughapplying great loads and performing big numbers of repetitions. During acompetition, together with warming up, from 3 to 7 tons are lifted by thedifferent categories. During the continuous training sessions over 20 tonsare lifted in one day.So, from the above, it becomes clear that the changes in the body depend onlyon the level of functioning and therefore during the training sessions, wheregreat tonnage is reached, more significant physiological changements shouldbe expected. Practically, this is not obtained. The physiological changes aregreater after competitions, especially when they are responsible for thelifting of 3 - 7 tons. After competition the athletes are more exhausted,with more manifested psychopathy, with diminished working capacity.These facts show that during a competition other factors are also acting,which are related to the athletic competitive abilities. In our opinion, thatis the factor which appears in putting the body under rather difficultextreme conditions, called in our times the stress factor. The stress factoris connected with emotional excitement, agitation or fear, anger,aggressiveness. etc. It is known that in the body of an animal or a humanbeing put into an unusual ambience of extreme conditions a series ofphysiological reactions takes place, which represent a direction toconforming to these conditions. In those reactions the important role isplayed by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), with Cannon and Ortellibeing the first who studied and investigated the role of the SNS and thereactions of individuals exposed to stressful conditions in the laboratory.According to the Bulgarian scientist, Prof. Sheytanov, the SNS acts directlythrough the substance noradrenaline and through stimulating the adrenalinesecretion from the suprarenal gland. He was studying the latter as ahomologue of the postganglion neuron of the CNS and, therefore, in such caseswe can speak about excitation of the adrenal or sympathic system. Accordingto him, the normal level of adrenaline in blood is approximately 0.5nanograms per ml. In the conditions of high stress this quantity may increaseby up to 500 ml, i.e. to increase up to 50 times. By means of hard physicalwork and other stressing agents, not only cathecholamines are secreted, butalso a series of other biologically active substances. These biologicallyactive substances, including cathecholamines and hormones, as we said before,participate in the adaptation of the body to the demanding conditions.They take part in different metabolites of tissue building and powerproviding. E.A.Gromov. et al., and many other scientists have found out intheir research that, during a competition, the athlete's body produces biggerquantities of biologically active substances. This is explained by the factthat the small volume loads connected with great efforts, accompanied by higharousal, cause more significant physiological changes in the body of theathletes than continuous, large volume loads which involve little effort orpsychological strain. Based on these circumstances, we identify thecompetitive element in training as the main factor by which theweightlifters' bodies will be exposed to unusually stressful conditions. Weare applying the competitive element in the training process by means of agood arrangement of the training process and by means of the assignments ofthe training plans.Rivalry is the main power in the competitive behaviour of weightlifterstraining. That is why we are directing our main efforts towards forming theteam with at least two competitors in every category. It is no wonder why theUSSR's weightlifters are developing so fast. This is occurring because veryoften 5 to 6 athletes of the highest world level are competing on thetraining and competition platform. The World Federation was absolutelycorrect to organize a World Cup Tournament which is carried out in differentstages of the year.The arranging of regional tournaments, national, local tournaments,individual, and other kinds of competition events undoubtedly put the bodiesof the competitors under difficult, extreme conditions, where the stresstraining factor is acting. A while ago a series of competitions was avoidedin order to avoid disturbing the preparation rhythm. Continuous andsignificant restorative periods were carried out before every competition.This led to a diminishing of the total loading quantity and delayed thedevelopment of athletic achievements, which is one reason why massage andother restorative means need to be used skillfully. The new principles inpreparation are connected with participation in various importantcompetitions without the use of restoration. Further, we included in thetraining activity the conscious element, where every 15 days we organizedcontrol training sessions under competition conditions and surroundings,without referees and audiences.From practice and the scientific approach it is proved that adaptivereactions are stronger when the physical effort is exerted under conditionsof excitement or high arousal. Under conditions of physical strain, themetabolism in the working organs of athletes is significantly different.From the above, it becomes clear that a new basic element in the trainingprocess represents the motivational readiness. Prof. F.Ghenov has drawn upthe problems of the motivational readiness. It is very important in whatpsychological strain the athletes will enter the next training session with apositive or a negative mood, with pessimism or optimism, with willingness torealize the planned objectives, with fear or faith in future success. In ourcountry more and more preliminary undertakings are performed connected withimproving the motivating readiness. Much was written and spoken about thisproblem and I dare to express here my own opinion towards it. There aremoments in which the athlete's mood is based on strong factors of the dailyroutine. The mood is controlled to a big degree by fatigue. During long timeperiods the competitors are training under conditions of medium or strongfatigue. Under such and other similar conditions without the intervention ofanother strong contrary factor any creative motivating readiness could not becreated. Lately, motivating through hypnosis is spoken about, but this is avery difficult and insecure method to apply. More effective and easy toaccess as methods and means for positive psychological influence are someharmless, allowed medicines.Medicines in the Preparation of High Level Athletes.With the increase of training loads, with the raising of the stress momentsin the training process, by control of the psychological conditions before,during, after training and competition more and more pharmacological meansare used.Before and during training sessions many drugs and supplements for increasingthe working capacity, the functions of the organs and systems of the actingathletes achieve their anabolic effect. By means of these substances,increasing the functions of the acting organs they cause an extraordinarydecomposing of albumins in the cells of these organs and through theretroaction of their genetical apparatus they cause synthesis of elevatedquantities of new albumins. The effect investigated by F.Mirson is obtained,on the basis of which the muscle mass increases and this is in relation tothe increasing of force abilities. The means for increasing the workingability are many-sided and they stimulate the CNS. They act through improvingthe mediator mechanisms.The so called adaptogens are used, which improve the conforming possibilitiesof the body to the extreme conditions like heavy trainings and competitivesitua- tions. Restoring antecedents of a series of necessary substracts,factors and cofactors for improvement of the ferment and enzyme systems,vitamins, etc., antioxidants, removing the products of fatigue. Cardiotonicsand cardiorelaxants, economizing the oxygen consumption.Soporifics, sedatives, controlling the emotional processes. Hormones. 1emphasize again that many of the quoted medicines are forbidden. Here we arediscussing only the allowed ones.Dealing with drugs is a very complicated and important process. Herecompetent medical persons must be attracted. This is because this kind ofeffect can be negative if wrongly applied and dosaged and can even be a riskfor the athletes's health.Here some of the problems were exposed, namely how to optimize thecoaching-training process, where some factors in the basis of modern methodsfor preparation of high level competitors were disclosed.In conclusion, it could be stated that the training process will continue todevelop in the direction of enabling athletes to increase the stress factorin a qualitative as well as in a quantitative sense. The quick and high-graderestoration of the body of the high class athletes under extreme trainingconditions for enabling the athlete to meet timeously the high demands ofimpending training, as well as coaching, psychological, physical,pharmacological and other means will be sought in the future.Tænkte nogle ville kunne bruge det Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 (edited) Sgu spændende læsning.. Og viser igen noget om hvor avanceret vægtløftnings"processen" er blevet frem til idag. Vægtløftning er nærmest styrkesporternes pendant til Formel 1 racing. Det "fineste" og det klart mest avancerede! Hvilket nok også er hvorfor at man aldrig ser almindelige dødelige med et hverdagsjob komme og gøre sig gældende i toppen, ligesom man kan opleve ved styrkeløft og mange andre sporter..

Reggiano Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Jeg synes ikke rigtig at man kan sammenligne Süleymanoglu med nogen som helst. Han er en total freak... bare ikke normal. Han er ikke engang 150 cm høj og løfter 3-4 gange sin kropsvægt i VL-øvelser.I øvrigt fatter jeg simpelthen minus af de østeuropæiske styrke/vægtløftningsprogrammer. Man får indtrykket af at man skal tage et eller andet for at kunne klare workloadet. Edited April 6, 2007 by Reggiano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therkelsenmeister Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Siden så mange vægtløftere har knæbind på, tænkte jeg om det er fordi de er skadede el. bare for at undgå skader? DYrker selv en smule vægtløftning og tænkte om jeg skulle anskaffe man knæbind, for man undgår muligvis skader + man må vel få lidt fordele i hugvend og front squat, el. er jeg helt gal på den??
