What is Bondarchuk philosophy and training methods? He has written articles and books but can’t find them on the web.
Would love to understand Strength training methods. Open to discussion.
Warren this is good question, the articles I located in the soviet reviews really did not give good insight as to how he structures his training methods, I will look into this more and see what I can dig up!
Would love to hear from Charlie or anyone about Bondarchuk methods. I think it would be a great discussion for the forum.
Asd123,
Great Articles On Bondarchuk. Now If We Could Find Some Articles On Strength Training And High Performance Conditioning Of Athletes It Would Make My Year.
Warren did you mean articles by bondarchuck on strength training and performance conditioning? or just in general?
As for Bondarchuck methods, I have read the article a couple of times and studied the net for stuff on his methods, here is what I am getting:
- In the articles he talks about throwers implementing different loads in their training,I think this hits the speed, strength and power aspects of training, allowing for all aspects to be worked and to try and avoid stagnation or plateus in training. He seems to feel, and I agree, that “Skillful alteration” of training loads work best. In terms of lifting weights and programming it I think westsides methods hit bondarchucks methods head on…now comes the tricky part, how does one incorporate this into sports other than lifting weights? The answer I am getting from reading Bondarchuck stuff is to make the movements specific to the sport (Biomechanically). Now I am currently taking a Biomechanics class and I can tell you that I think I needed a pre-requisite class of Chinese of Japanese, this stuff is hard, especially when your brain operates at the rate of molases in the winter going up hill…someone posted that Schroeder bases a lot of his methods on Bondarchuck’s stuff, this would make sense as they both are talking about making the movements of training specific to the sport. Schroeder drops his football athletes from heights as high as 6 feet, this is supposed to " simulate what they might encounter on the football field" physically and biomechanically , I think??? Also if you have seen archuleta doing push-ups all over the floor, all around, it may seem that he has taken the methodologies of Bondarchuck and applied them to football training. Basically I am trying to say that I think Bondarchuck is saying that you must find different ways to train the specific sports movements , the ways must have some form of boimechanical relation or carryover to the sports movement you are training for. Schroders utilizes something like 13 or more different bench press techniques when training his football (maybe other type) of athletes. So what I am getting out of his methods thus far it to utilize many different movements that have realtion to the actual movement, with many different loading pecentages and different movement types…sorry for the rant but this is what I am thinking so far, any added info or correction to anything I wrote would be awsome!
PEACE
ASd123,
I agree with everything you wrote except Schroeder’s Altitude landings.
Schroeders and Westside training are very similiar with the fact that they both trying to link the firing of neurons to the nervous system to the motion of the fast twitch muscles.
However Schroeder uses the altitude drops to teach the muscle to contract as quickly possible. This means he wants the to turn on quickly and then turn off.
I have with talked with him for the last few years and he has help me with workouts with my athletes. He really believes you teach the body to get into proper position absorb force and the muscle to turn on and off properly. Everything else is a skill to be taught.
warren thanks for the info! I found 2 more articles by bondy, will get them out to all y’all asap, these are from track technique mag, I am missing part one of his training planning article, that issue is missing from the library, that sucks!
Peace
also warren where are you located in NJ?
