Hi all,
In 1999 I visited Dr. Siff's Denver facility and took part in a
Supertraining seminar - definately a great experience. As part of the
seminar (and I'm going purely by memory here) Dr. Siff showed a slide
comparing a gym in Moscow (Dr. Verkhoshansky'
Denver. The gym in Denver was a 10,000 square foot multi-level
masterpiece of chrome and machines. The gym in Moscow was small - long,
narrow and dingy. Plates and bars were strewn over the floor. The only
real non-weight apparatus was a pommel horse and boxes of various
height. Their was an old universal machine pushed into a corner so that
half the stations weren't usable. As I recall Dr. Siff said there was a
wall of fame in this gym. To get on the wall you had to win a gold medal
in the olympics. There was something like 260+ names on the wall. There
were no gold medalists from the Denver facility. Of course, the object
lesson was it wasn't the facility that makes the athlete.
Does anyone recall this? Does anyone have a picture of the Moscow
facility? As part of my senior year honours thesis I'd love to have this
shot and the exact number of gold medalists. (Naturally my point is -
it's people and knowledge, not facilities, that make the difference!)
Can anyone help me here? I searched the files on the Supertraining page
in Yahoo and couldn't find anything. I've thought about contacting Lisa
for help, but I'm sure it would be like searching for a needle in a
haystack for her.
Thanks!
