Announcement  

With great sadness I have to announce that my father passed away at Sandro Pertini Hospital, Rome, on Wednesday, June 23 2010.

I wish to thank all those around the word who have sent messages of condolence and  expressed gratitude for his work. My father will be greatly missed by us all, but I am sure his work will continue to influence many coaches.

In the last years of his life it was his will to divulgate his work in English directly under our control so that many of the misinterpretations due to inaccuracy of translation made in the past from his Russian manuscripts and articles could be understood.

The first step of this project was the website on which we started to publish articles and manuscripts and, according to his will, the site will continue to be open until all his works have been published.

Organization of training while progressing in the blocks 

Dr. Verkhoshansky,

     First, it is an honor to be able to communicate with you. My question is regarding block periodization for powerlifting. In a nutshell, should the number of weekly training days decrease as we move along in the blocks due to the increased intensity used in loading the competition lifts? For example, in Block A, the intensity is not as high and therefore the load being used does not place as much strain on the Central Nervous System. However, in Block B, the intensity increases. Of course, in Block C it increases even more so. So, should the number of lifting days per week be changed as the intensity increases from block to block to allow more time for physical and Central Nervous System recovery? Thank you for your time, Dr. Verkhoshansky.

Спасибо,
