The video is not Russian it's Polish, awesome stuff like front lunges, jumping squats, and interesting equipment at the end, like the good morning machine and those huge kettlebells.

Rif,
This video is the Polish Weightlifting team tape that was available I think fron the NSCA back in the 1980's. We used to watch it at the training center in Colorado...Hey man, great site and I really like your candid and honest opinion on all things lifting and the everyting that goes with it...Makes me want to lift again!

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
