Books by Georgy Zobach. "Strength Training in the Soviet Era. Notes from Zen."
Georgy Zobach: About strength training, how I pumped up my biceps and triceps, how to squat properly... I write only about my athletic and coaching experience. I don't have time to invent or rewrite scientific articles about "magic" methods. Some articles have previously been published in the author's other books.
