To squat a lot, you must squat a lot……as in shitloads of them! That’s what I was told in broken English when I visited the national training facility in former Czechoslovakia in the early 1990’s.
The athletes that I met in Eastern Europe followed this dictum with a deranged monk-like dedication. I watched amazed as these men (and Women) did set after relentless set of high bar squats and front squats and cleans.
The coaches and trainers later explained to me in graphic detail the failings of western thought on the subject of strength training and how their athletes would never “forget” to be strong!
