I was born with the East-European plyometrics movement (which we just called “explosive drills”). I have helped athletes achieve great performance applying my philosophy to my hundreds of programs, which develop quick, fast and explosive musculature. Just three example who support the benefits of this kind of preparation: Dragomir Cioroslan, 1984 LA Summer Olympic Games bronze medalist , who is the head coach at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for US Weightlifting Residence Program was able to perform a straight back flip after a 440 lb. clean and jerk. By utilizing my programs, Dragomir developed from a 15 years old 77 lb. kid - who suffered from rheumatic heart disease and rickets - into a European record holder and one of the most harmoniously developed athlete I have ever seen. He became a multiple national record holder and champion in weightlifting, but he also won the Romanian National Body Building Championship!

My second example, Istvan Tasnadi, a modern Hercules, and 1984 LA Summer Olympic Games silver medalist in weightlifting, was able to jump up 20 times consecutively on a 42 inch high box. He was also able to jump 8 stairs up on a stairway, and to run 7.1 sec. in the 60 m dash at a 246 lb. body weight.

Finally, Wesley Barnett, multiple US National Champion and record holder in two weight classes, (100 kg and 110 kg) 6-th at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympic Games, and the 1997 Weightlifting World Championship silver medalist, was my student between 1988-1991. During that time he recorded a 10.4 foot standing long jump, a 3.98 sec. 30 m sprint, a 36 inch standing vertical jump, and 64 feet on the overhead backward 10 lb. medicine ball throw.
