My (worthless and unsolicited opinion) is that their success was much more due to getting a bunch of strong and motivated (and crazy) guys together to push each other than to any special training program.
Honestly, I believe this is true of almost every gym or sports club that's known for producing champions.
Sometimes a world-class coach is just an ordinary coach who had a world-class athlete walk in their door one day. And once one walks in and people hear about it, maybe a second one decides to walk in. And then a third. And suddenly everyone thinks you're brilliant - especially if you're good friends with a pharmacist.
I honestly believe that most strength and conditioning coaches at the top level have as much to do with the strength and conditioning of their athletes as a basketball coach has to do with the height of their players.
It's not coaching, it's recruitment.
