Blitz:
I imagine when you use the terms “professional”, “average muscle head”, and “conventional trainers” you are referring to me. I am going to express my opinions as a professional in the performance enhance field. Some things a “professional” will NOT do when dealing when training/advising athletes of any kind:
1. Claim your program is the “only one on the planet” to elicit a certain physiological response. Blitz uses large amounts of volume to gain a particular adaptation that can be attained through any high volume program. This is a sales pitch and not necessary if you have the education, experience and data to back up your services.
2. Brag. Blitz is effective, but it’s not that great and its only part of a greater plan to enhance performance specific to the event, which a good coach would be able to design and advise on.
3. Belittle an athlete. Enough said.
4. Give advice without giving your credentials to be doing so. Not having the proper credentials or at least a degree in exercise science or a related subject cause me to question. Maybe this has been stated before and I missed it? So, If I am wrong, please let me know.
5. Claiming your program is better than anything else without data to support it. Human performance is a science and a scientific approach should be taken to training. Promises should not have to be made.
6. Using negative language when referring to others in the field, especially on an open forum. This may be an assumption, but writing “professionals” as such indicates something negative to me. I am also going to assume you didn’t like what these people had to say about blitz.
As a strength coach and a soldier I am passionate about soldier athletes getting quality advice to improve their performance and increase survival. I have already expressed my opinions about the Blitz program on past threads and don’t feel the need to do so again in this one.
Everyone:
If anyone would like to further discuss training issues of any kind, let me know. As Blitz said, “go talk to MILON”.
