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.
