From the 90s to the early 2000s, this was the strongest gym in the world. 900 sq ft in a shithole strip mall on the west side of Columbus, OH. No mirrors, no special lighting, not much equipment. This place produced over 100 world records and dozens of world champion athletes.

The Soviets dominated athletics from the 1950s until the USSR's collapse. Particularly in weightlifting, they stood above and beyond the rest of the world with the exception of the incomparable Bulgarians. Many of their records still haven't been equaled or exceeded.

You’re better off training in such a facility. Powerlifting and bodybuilding are now more popular than ever which means there are more gyms than ever with quality bars, weights, and racks. But clout chasers and attention whores congest public gyms. You need an alternative.

And if no such places exist, create your own. Use your garage or basement. Build a crew and rent a storage unit or small industrial space. Get some good barbells, a rack, and a lot of plates. Soon you’ll become stronger than any commercial gym-goer.

Do a heavy set of 20-rep barbell squats for a true spiritual experience. As a grumpy middle-aged Texan once said, during an appropriately heavy set of 20-rep squats, you’ll see Jesus on rep 14. On rep 17, he’ll ask to work in.

The most notable record was the biggest of them all: the superheavyweight clean & jerk record. Beginning with Yuri Vlasov, Soviet lifters were constantly breaking their comrades' previous records and pushing the limits of human performance for nearly 40 years.

An essential part of the training process is recovery. Without recuperation, you won’t fully realize the gains from your hard-earned training sessions. I recommend grabbing a couple good cigars and discussing great literature - few things more relaxing and enjoyable.

Life as an "amateur" athlete in the USSR could be very lucrative thanks to performance-based bonuses and athletes gamed that system as much as possible. Everytime Alexeev bumped up that world record by half a kilo, he got a few thousand rubles.

Alexeev had a strategy for setting world records: a few years into his career, he got so far ahead of his competitors that he rarely needed to consider their attempts. He could easily win with weights that were essentially warm-ups for him.

So Alexeev would take one or two attempts to secure his overall win, then shoot for a world record. Prior to the 2000's, records could be broken by .5 kg - not a big margin. And so Alexeev would do just that: slowly increase his own record by .5 kg as often as he could. Why?
