The Downside To Being Big and Strong!!!

[beatango2008]

^^^ could be true - but ive learned a ton from reading pat arnold & dan duchaine ...and neither one of those guys is/was by any means huge... size doesnt = knowledge.... you can learn from anyone. bgmc31 - im sure you can attest ..trainers in pro sports are by no means in the condition (in most cases) of the athletes they train - but they know how to get them there. Its the message - not the messenger....

Okay that could be true, But it is more easy for me to listen to someone if they pratice what they preach, kind of like the disscusion we had about the nutritionist on that show with the mermaid girl, who was giving her advice and she weighed about 240lbs herself.

I tend to agree to, Even though it takes much time and schooling to get good at being a strength coach. One should still find time to keep in shape and try ones own workouts. That is why I try to keep in shape myself partly. It is hard to tell some guy how to train and get stronger if you yourself are a 170lbs weakling or a 300lbs blob.

huh sounds funny coming from a science guy - esp considering how many people in those fields will recommend and push things they have never experienced or tried first hand. Just ironic. I however, do understand the thought process as i said.
Oh and some first hand experience ...ive only worked with 2 trainers in my life...a female (in great shape) and a man. Bob was 340 lbs and about 30 % bodyfat - the man got me in the best condition of my life ...and even though i have a personal training certification and years ago worked as a trainer - he taught me so much it was insane. Again he was responsible for my training regimen when i got in the best shape of my life. So maybe im biased. Btw he now resides in San Diego (carlsbad actually) and trains 2 pro football players and several college players among many other clients. You just never know....

I will say from personal experience after a day of training and being in the gym all day long the last thing I wanted to do was workout. At first I loved it but after awhile the same shit day in and day out it gets old. The worst thing for me was training an athlete that had all the talent in the world but was lazier than hell. I wish I had the talent that some of the guys I trained, coupled with my work ethic. Of course by talent I mean the talent to stay healthy....
