History is an incredibly important part of making forward progress. On Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 Yuri Verkhoshanksy passed. It is our duty as members of the strength community to remember Dr Verkhoshanksy for all that he attributed to the field.
"I have no hesitation in stating that when I sit down at my desk late at night and conceptualize training programming for my athletes, there is no greater influence on the architecture of my thoughts than the work of Dr. Yuri Verkhoshansky."
James "The Thinker" Smith , one of the greatest western coaches of our time, commemorates Dr. Verkhoshanksy with a personal post describing their relations and the unparalleled contribution he made to the performance world.
Super Training and Special Strength Training are two of Dr. Verkhoshanksy most famous books.
