They also did not account for the 95% who could not handle the heavy training and were removed from the program. What you see in the data are the “successes” only

My training was worked around been a long distance trucker. I was exhausted before i even got to the gym. I didn't achieve what i thought i was going to achieve

No stress? Do you realize what happened to them if they lost? If they didn’t perform and got kicked off the team? Im kind of shocked you dont know this. This isnt some obscure topic in lifting. Im not sure I can take you seriously after this. There are hundreds if books and documentaries on what olympic athletes went through in the soviet union.

Soviet system was bad, but the common myths about endless misery and brutality still stick around, unfortunately.
