Maximum Load

I’m excited to host the CSA Nutrition blog. This blog is going to focus primarily on Olympic Weightlifting with an emphasis on training, technique and some of the auxiliary lifts used to support the snatch and the clean and jerk. For those of you who don’t know me, I am a former three-time World Championship Olympic Weightlifting medalist and Silver Medalist from the 1972 Munich Olympics. My coach during my prime was Ivan Abadzhiev, one of the elite coaches in Olympic history, the former Bulgarian Weightlifting Coach responsible for 12 Olympic Champions, 57 World Champions and 64 European Champions and author of the famous “Bulgarian Method of Training”. From time to time, we will do live blog casts with Coach Abadzhiev as he is still very active and serves on the Board of my new company, CSA Nutrition, Inc.

I still coach on a daily basis and over the next few weeks, I will introduce my team to you and most likely use them to demonstrate technique.  Thanks for visiting and I welcome you to our site.
