Try this link or search through the archives, there was a lengthy discussion on Greek training. http://www.charliefrancis.com/board/philboard_read.asp?id=712

thanks
I am too. I’m not sure how someone becomes so powerful and muscular without some kind of weight training, with or without supplements?
I don’t see how his body is massively different from anyone elses, and in that respect how is it possible to cope with massive over CNS stimulation??
A lot of people I speak to are convinced there’s a state sponsored erm supplementation going on .
Lots of complaints about how the Greek sprinters never seem to be available for testing .
Not my opinion I hasten to add - it would be a real shame if it was true .
No weights, no jumps, no short sprints and yet run a sub-20 200m. The Greek sprinters are giving the rest of the world access to a radically effective training method.
My mythology is not the best but are you not meant to be weary of Greeks bearing gifts?
It’s not the lack of weight training that concerns me, but like UTHur alluded to, the demand on the CNS must be incredible. With adequate recovery and regeneration techniques in place, could someone actually train like this for an extended period of time? Would you even want to? These questions were already asked on the old forum with a few theories being put forth. Hopefully someone can shed some more light on the Greek training methods.
wow. i had to read that thread a few times to realize what i was reading since it was so bizarre yet simple i thought i was not understanding! someone tell us more!
