The Science of Winning According to Vasili AlexeyevNote from Dave wo 18-aug-10 13:52 (permalink)

Note from Dave: This is a repost of what I feel is one of the most educational articles we have ever posted. This was sent to me years ago from Dr Mel Siff and should be a must read for everyone in the strength game. I think you will also find the material very insightful. Dr Siff makes a few notes throughout the article that I found to be of great interest. Dr Siff is the author of the text Supertraining.

Notes from Dr Siff:
I cannot recall if this article on the great OL lifter, Alexeyev, has already
been featured. Anyway, it is still worth reading even if it was posted a
long time ago. Alexeyev's comments on his great rival, Reding, are
especially noteworthy:

"I remember, at the time of the championships in Lima, that Reding in
training lifted record weights. He had acquired a terrific strength and huge
muscles, but he lost to me, even though he was physically stronger. Why?
Serge and I had different ways of training. Others thought for him. He
carried out the suggestions of his coach, Dupont. Roughly speaking, Reding
took in 'the science of winning' though his ears. And this showed when he was
on his own with the barbell. But, as for me, I thought for myself. Serge
also lost because he wanted to beat me. That's all he thought about. He
worried constantly and burned himself out before he even got to the platform
. . . "

Read the rest of the article and appreciate how much of it applies to many of
us.
