Maybe I don’t get it
Here was a
reply to my post that typifies the head in the sand approach of the
contemporary sheep walkers. It is a classic error in communication in
that it is not what I write, it is what you read.
Vern
are you serious this man doesn't get it, there are to many variables to
just blast the lifts. What did the program look like how much synergist
crossover was there between lifts, what where rest intervals, where the
athletes wearing belts (a huge no no), did the program have structural
balance, was the athlete in structural balance, was she training her
mobility, come on Vern maybe you don't get it.
I do get it! I use the Olympic movements when appropriate. I have bee doing Olympic Lifts for almost 45 years. I am
Weightlifting certified (Perhaps they will remove my certification now)
I have made every mistake with the Olympic lifts and every other
method. Belts – so what – I understand the research. Go around the
country and watch how everyone cinches up their athletes. Is it right?
No. I understand all the variables and in the muscle head programs they
are seldom if ever taken into consideration unless it is a one on one
environment, that NEVER occurs in a collegiate environment and seldom
if ever in a professional team environment. That is why the follow-up
post on
and Jim Radcliffe. He is an Olympic lifter, but he train athletes not
Olympic lifters who play football. What the hell is synergist crossover
between lifts? Get real. Have you ever had to work with a team of
athletes? You get them after practice, the majority of the time when
they are fatigued from their training. There is no accounting for
individual differences. I will repeat the message again – IT IS ABOUT THE ATHLETE, NOT ABOUT THE EXERCISE OR THE METHOD. CREATE ADAPTABLE ATHLETES READY to PLAY. What is it that I don't get?
