Nice interview. John Broz seems to be a very nice guy, with a lot of competence, experience and knowledge. Would be awesome to come and train there for a session ;)
Yes, Coach Broz has a lot interesting things to say about training and the mental side of achieving success. I've heard a lot about his gym and athletes. It was good to hear from the man. Thanks for posting this interview.
I have a question coach broz that involves more of the business side of lifting rather than training. You see I'm 21 and I am a great lifter my question is how do you and your athletes make a living out of this sport and powerlifting. I've heard its not much of a living but I was wondering if you make money through endorsements or whatever. I would love for advice to get my career started. Anyone else with experience in lifting feel free to respond. Thank you
I think John Broz is possibly the best trainer in the world right now. He's the guy who coached monsters like Rob Adell, Josh Gilbert and Pat Mendes. I noticed he doesn't give a shit about accessories work. You know who else doesn't? Konstantin Konstantinovs, and he's the best Raw Powerlifter in the world right now. Just goes to show his method could easily work for Powerlifting as well.
fuck off idiot, there is a difference between training hard and being on the gear, if they are so good lets see them at a internationally sanctioned event where they can go positive
Great interview! To coach Broz I have a question. I train using the methods you describe in your interviews(clean&jerk, back squat, snatch, power snatch/jerk, front squat ect.) My clean & jerk is balanced, however I can power snatch roughly 10kg more then my full snatch. I want to get my full snatch to where it needs to be, would you reccomend more Overhead squats? Snatch's for doubles?
Thanks for shareing your knowledge big fan of you and your lifters. Happy Holidays!
You may need to work on flexibility and strength at the bottom of your snatch, Might want to try snatches with holds on the bottom, deep overhead squats. I started off the same as you but as my flexibility improved i got more comfortable catching the bar lower instead of powersnatching.
@decafchicken Thanx alot for the feedback, I was thinking the same. Trying to catch at the bottom with a 2 or 3 second pause, and I'm also trying snatches for doubles and alot of drop snatches.
@freedomsoldier187 You train with John Broz and his "kiddies"? Listen jerk, those "kiddies" train harder and are just plain stronger than you are. Nuff said. Don't shit on someone because you suck. That's called textbook insecurity and low self esteem. GO TRAIN HARD
can any one let me know how olympic lifters stay in there weight class or drop a few kg to get back in to there weight class? any places i can read about that
Incredible feats of strength have been performed long before people even know about anabolic hormones or anything like that. Just because someone is skilled in weightlifting does not mean that he/she is using steroids. You shouldn't be putting yourself in the mindset that tells you a good lift requires steroids because that way you will never become good yourself.
I just became interested in John's ideas, and I can say I am taken back.I don't know how he can say it is a mental toughness issue, however. I mean, when you get tendonitis, and your strength is declining, you are screwed. I can see pushing close to that, then tapering off. It has worked for me.
The idea of acquiring your max for the day, and basing training around it, does seem like an interesting concept. I just can't see the physiological sense behind it.
I appreciate the theory but id you take a lifter who can't squat 250 and get him to try again and again until he gets it he'll more than likely injure himself but losing form in an attempt to compensate and get the weight. I would assume the same would be applied to oly lifts. Then again I'm not pat mendez and I can't squat 350kg, and I do appreciate what he is saying about maxes, the statement is just a bit too broad
If you listen and read what he writes, he isn't saying just squat the same weight over and over and you'll get it. He talks about working up to a max for the day, always pushing hard, multiple sesssions a day (Bulgarian system).
His approach is for competitive athletes training every day. It is not for people going to the gym 3-4 x1 hour sessions a week for recreational purposes.
@grambo22 but do you not think what he is referring to is the technicality of the lift involved which doesnt hav the same carry over to absolute strength lifts?
The interview is very general. It took me years to fully understand this concept. It is not something that you, or anyone can learn is a 10 min interview.
for the record, I have a kid in the gym who couldn't squat 70kg when he came in the door. He recently did 160 and it's been 5 months. NO magic juice, but hard work.
The max attempts over and over are at the Olifts, not squats or deadlifts.
@BROZKNOWS O.K. basically I just wanted to clear up that it's the oly lifts you were referring to. However I would have expected re-attempting maxes to be very taxing on the oly lifts due to the motor unit recruitment involved, not unlike that of a squat of deadlift despite the difference in bar speed and technique, I don't perform OLY lifts so obviously I can't speak through experience, I'm just making assumptions.
Max attempts at a DL and SN are VERY, VERY different. You miss a max DL, you might - MIGHT have 1 more attempt but the OL are very different because there are numerous variables why you miss. body position, bar height, balance, timing, etc...
@brock8008 Pat's max bs when he came to me was 220. he has cleaned that in less then 2 years. same results (by ratio) with almost all the other lifters. It's relative.
@BROZKNOWS Also I remember reading an article by Louie Simmons who spoke about the Bulgarian system and the better pool of athletes they had to choose from compared to the Soviets. This allowed them to train twice a day, 7 days a week concentrating on the same lifts over and over without burninng out from monotony and overtraining. Are you selective about who you train, using a similar principle, or do you believe differently?
The bulgarians had a better pool of athletes? LOL! They are a country of 6 M, whereas the former USSR had hundreds of millions to choose from! Check the results from the last few WC and how many big lifts do you see from former USSR countries such as: ARM, AZE, BEL, GEO, KAZ,LAT,LIT,MOL,RUS,UKR, etc...
@BROZKNOWS The point he was trying to make, in basic terms, was that the quality of lifter available in bulgaria was higher than that of the soviets despite their quantity. This made the difference between the bulgarian system and conjugate system.
How would you deal with a lift who's knees buckled together in the squat, would that not be an imbalance of weak glutes and hams in comparison to quads (quad dominant)?
If he said that, IMO he is ignorant. In the 1983 "sportakiad" (all soviet lifters) in the 100kg class alone there were over 14 guys who totaled 400 or more, 15th place was 392.5. 7 bomb outs that would have easily totaled over 400. There were over 40+ attempts at 180+ snatch and 47+ at 220+ c/j. With the winner totaling 435 and passing on his last c/j. I would venture to say that they had a very deep talent pool. To think that the USSR had a lack of quality is beyond absurd.
@BROZKNOWS No, not that the Soviet's had a lack of quality, but in terms of quality for quantity the Bulgarians were better. The number of 'ideal' liftesr was more concentrated in Bulgaria. Instead of me attemtping to explain this further, and possibly causing more confusion you can check out his article...
@brock8008 yeah, that's reasonable. A very small country only hundreds of miles from 14 others (USSR) has magically superior genetics that allow higher training volumes which result in the best lifting team in the world - Because it's impossible that their training methods and coaching mentality were superior. Must be the feta cheese.
@BROZKNOWS Finally how do you compensate for muscle imbalances without accessory work. Watching the Pat Mendes video of 250kg x 5 back squat his right seems to dominate towards the end, but now when he squats there seems to be no dominance or compensation in either leg. Did you make a point of trying to fix this or did slaving away at the squat correct it? Don't take this as me debating, I'm just very inquistitive
A muscle imbalance can only occur when you do an exercise that's directional with a possible opposing movement - (ex) bench press vs. seated row. With the squat there is no opposite you can do naturally. HIs leg was being favored because it was his dominate leg, and because his left knee is sore from doing split jerks. He still favors it, but has become more aware and compensates accordingly.
I mean, you wouldn't see anything wrong with taking a hammer throw attempt or a shot-put attempt over a dozen times to get a PR?
The Olympic Lifts aren't as stressful to the body as the power lifts. Obviously you can't take Deadlift attempts over and over again. If you miss 2 attempts in the Deadlift, you're fried for the day.
Hmmm I don't claim to know as much about oly lifting or even training, nor can I lift as much as John Broz but no such thing as over training?! Thats rubbish or else he has found some amazing form of juice which is preventing his lifters CNS from frying. Also I agree with people having a mental block when it comes to a max, and being able to trick ur CNS but if u can't do a certain weight trying and trying 100 times over is not going to mean you will eventually figure out how to operate better
I WISH there was a drug that made your CNS recuperate faster. These guys are Olympic hopefuls, so I doubt they're on steroids. And they're weight class athletes, so I doubt they're on hormones.
What's the #1 sport that drugs help the MOST in? Bodybuilding. Nowhere else is the gap wider between natural and "enhanced" competitors. Drugs build flesh. They don't work magic on the nervous system.
@ptarleton I know this, hence I used the words 'amazing form of juice', and it was in relation to John Broz statement on overtraining. Also being an olympic hopefuls does not mean they are not on steroids..look at the 11 bulgarians who tested postitive before the beijing olympics, and possibility of weightlifting being removed from the olympics due to the amount of doping...
@brock8008 Maybe if they got million dollar contracts shilling crap for Nike, Adidas, etc then they could afford the good undetectable designer drugs Western Athletes use
@ptarleton However I am not stating that I think his lifters are on drugs, I was referring to him having his lifters on 'amazing juice' IF he does not believe in overtraining.
Regarding your previous post my confusion was related to maximal strength lifts and my (wrong) association with these and OLY lifts. Altho one would re-attempt a hammer/ shot put throw (etc) again and again the difference in load with OLY lifts is where the confusion lay.
Uh, yes, they do. You are dead wrong about that. There are chemicals that will build solid strength without much in weight gain. But that is besides the point.
@ptarleton What are you talking about? Steroids don't only "build flesh" (and they don't necessarily "build flesh"), they significantly improve recovery, including the CNS. Olympic athletes take steroids because the increased recovery ability that the drugs provide allows the athletes to train harder without burning out. Steroids do not help the most in bodybuilding per se, it's just a lot more noticeable since hypertrophy is the main goal.
Halotestin might be able to explain how someone has one good meet or one good fight. Halotestin will not explain how someone puts 200 pounds on their squat and turns their clean #s into their snatch #s.
one good meet or one good fight? doesn't sound like you have any experience at all with Halotestin! at least not any experience that comes from years of application and erudition...
I dont really like with the program as im a believer in the soviet system.
BUT
I totaly agree with some peoples expectations being to low. north america getting schooled in weightlifting is due to way more then just "the other countries are doping more" they dont know how to push or train smart, and they see other americans getting schooled internationaly and they lower there goals because they think "if they cant do it then what chance to I have"
