have seen the Bulgarain 98 and 2001 Polish Training Champions tape.
Very good, I like The Polish one the ebxt, as it's like a more normal training session, lots of assitant lifts like snatch grip push presses, squat triples, mid thigh hang power snatches, etc.
I am thinking of getting some more, but not sure if these are any good -
the 2001 Training Hall tape with Jaba,
the 95 2 tape set - apparently has a section showing some Chinese lifters
quote "the 95 tape has a segment that shows some mid level lifters training. shows 12 year old kid or something doing clean style dl, pbn, and it also mentions his training lifts. neat stuff, kinda scary when you consider that this was 95 and that this kid he was still training would be somewhat of a beast.
later.
and the 93 tape. I wanna see Dimas in action
these any good?

I've got the 2001 Creating Champions tape, the 98 Bulgarian tape, the 2001 Worlds tape, 99 Worlds and 99 Europeons. The 2001 Worlds tape is pretty amazing, Jaber (QAT) snatches 200 with easy, also a look at the training of some of the top Iranian lifters. Its a pretty cool tape. I haven't seen either 95 tape, but I've heard they're good, but I know the 2001 tape is good. My favorite is the 98 Bulgarian tape, but the 2001 Worlds tape is a close second. Its pretty interesting, just a few days before the World Championships Huster (GER) is cleaning and jerking seperately, something I've never even heard of other lifters doing.
I have all of them and they are well worth the money. Most of them are pre world or European championships and not mid cycle type of training. It is interesting how the top lifters prepare during the last few days prior to major competitions.

Mike can you tell what that Chinese kid was lifting on the 95 tape? Exercises and loads used, and training lifts - thanks

Two tapes, a lot of Botev on each. Some Niam, Leonidis, Kaki, Weller, Huster, Khrapaty, Nerlinger, Yotov, Chakarov.
At the end of the second tape, Strossen has come across some juniors. They were doing a lot of heavy pulls and clean dead lifts. There are a couple of 14 y/o 54 kg. lifters. One C&Jd 110 a couple times. The other was doing power clean and jerks (1+3) with 90. The pulls were with 125 and the clean deads went to 150. There are also some 16/17 y/o on there, one doing a clean dead with 195. It is hard to tell what is on the bar sometimes and he doesn't know these guys, but he tries to find out ages, bdwts. and best lifts. Good stuff.
Botev was just crazy. One workout, he snatched 190, missed 200, then missed 195 twice, made 180, made 190, then missed 195 twice, barely made it, then missed 200. He also C&Jd 240 and cleaned 250. A lot of squatting is shown as well. I think 320/325.

I've got all the traiing videos too. '98 Bulgaria is my favorite, the '95 a close second. The '96 Olympic training hall is pretty exciting, Naim attempts to snatch a world record weight 4 times and finishes his workout with 210 FS, and Pablo Lara power cleans and jerks 190.
