So I attended the Pendlay seminar on the weekend in Brisbane at Cougars Weightlifting Club and I thought I'd post up some interesting points that Glenn raised for discussion.
Regarding programming:
Glenn discussed the history of weightlifting, how it has change, what the lifts use to be (there use to be 5 lifts) and how changing the rules changed the lifts into what they are today. He discussed the Russian method, Bulgarian method (and how at the time this would have been like the high school footy team (Bulgaria) thrashing the Melbourne Storm (Russia)) and more recently the Chinese method. He then went on to talk about how these method are not effective for the USA and Australia, simply because of our culture and wealth. Interested in hearing others thoughts on this without opening up a can of shitworms...
