He is the product of the Bulgarian weightlifting system so he literally just did sets of 1 with the snatch, clean & jerk, front squat, power snatch and powerclean.
But as you can guarantee it apparently, I'd like to see your evidence
I'm not sure how he exactly trained but him being an Olympic lifter I have an idea but how do you guarantee he didn't train with only 2-3 rep sets.
I can't beleive i'm getting sucked into this, but have you seen the lower weight class olympic lifters, they are ripped to shreds on comp day, and all have huge quads/back/traps like the above pictures.
In the end, no one in this thread bar Freako is strong enough to be telling others how they should train. Ever notice the biggest, strongest guys aren't on forums talking shit?

You missed this part Bazza.......
"he didn't get like that by only doing 2 or 3 rep sets and resting 5 min between sets."
How do you know?
i dont know for sure but being an Olympic lifter, long rest periods are likely.

I never said that I'd be resting 5 minutes between sets. Read my fucking log, jesus christ. Yesterday I did 20 reps of deadlifts in 20 minutes, I did 20 shrugs in 10 minutes the previous day, the squat workout before that and the bench workout before that was similar as well. I rest no more than 90 seconds between sets. No idea where you got 5 minutes from

Darkoz doesn't think that only low reps will build muscle very well, despite literally hundreds of weightlifters with completely ripped quads, shoulders and traps as evidence to the contrary. Apparently you can be 5'10" 77kg and shredded, stick 379kg over your head in two lifts and not be jacked- simply because you didn't do more than 5 reps, a completely arbitrary round number (xiaojun). A decent part of Science and Practice of Strength Training will corroborate this, as will just about every strength athlete on earth

Oni embarks on a training method/journey to prove a point/prove everyone wrong.
Nobody disagrees with Oni's point.
Arguement is made that while Onis initial point is valid, theres a more effective route to reach that goal.
Oni uses a top tier lifter to support a completely different point.
Said top tier lifter reinforces that whilst Onis original point isnt incorrect, its not the most effective method to reach that goal.
Hilarity ensues.
Idno what darkoz is on about.

I don't think anyone can say with any certainty what the most efficient training is
Most pro bbers are still doing what Weider first published to appear different and edgy compared to Bob Hoffs full body stuff. I prefer to train how the old time strongmen train. Grimek, Max Sick, Sandow and Saxon were beasts

I would say he did
It's basically what the Chinese do with their 8 year olds lol
Thinking about it from a rep POV, a full body 3 x 10 is 90 reps a week, a weightlifter probably does up to 500 a week so it makes sense the training effect will be greater, even factoring in TUT and the nature of the Olympic lifts

Please don't speculate based on fuck all
The Bulgarian training schedules are freely available for viewing on the internet. How they trained their kids is also freely available with a simple search. As novices, they did mainly sports and a shitload of GPP. The lifts were practised with low reps as technique is important at an early age when neural plasticity is at it's highest. Doing high reps kills technique and they build strength in these early years through gymnastics before specialising in their sport
