RIP Andrew "Bud" Charniga

 



I was sad to see that Bud Charniga passed away this last weekend (1/24/25.)  Bud was pretty well-known from Louie Simmons, and providing the translated Russian texts that laid the foundation for what would become known as "the conjugate system."  However, Bud was also a hell of an Olympic lifter himself (and a fellow E.M.U. alumni!)  He was still writing articles up until last year at his site linked below.  He often took a much different view than the current establishment within USA Weightlifting, and was thought-provoking if nothing else.  May he rest in peace.
