Very well done, you played your part perfectly.

I did see that you added some constructive advice on another thread though… two thumbs up for you… maybe you have turned the corner.

A quick question, who is the bigger tool, the faked Germna guru, or the internet dork who writes long threads mocking him…?

Like a soap opera, all of the actors are bad.

And, I love the way you ducked out of fulfilling the Cliff’s Notes you “happily” offered… how clever…ish. But then later ensured us you have total control by again offering what you will ducked out of…

And it isn’t plagerism if you cite the work… there, problem solved, so you are still on the clock.

Predictable and simple.

To be absolutely blantently honest and in all seriousness. I just didn’t want to be cutting and pasting whole articles up here from the boys website as I don’t do cross promotion. Like I said to Brad before if you’d read my post I would be really happy to have a proper conversation with Brad Nuttal or Jay Schroeder or whoever has put the material together because it is obvious that they do know there stuff. It is just that to get the ounce of gold you have to get through the 20 tonnes of crap and that is a shit load of work.

I don’t give a shit about the whole who is DB Hammer thing and I won’t ever mention it again. I actually think it is hysterical and have written a number of articles under assumed names myself…nothing as cool as Dietrich B Hammer though. Does anyone really care here on T-Nation? I mean people have made a career out of assumed names? So lets move on.

All I’d say to you is why waste your time critising me because you think I’m Irish or Fat or Slow or Weak or have no experience. Because I’m none of those things…except except fat, slow, weak and non Irish.

I say to you again. PM me and send me any info you want and I will send you the summary. Like a number of writers in this area the style of writing is overly verbose, technical and convoluted and I don’t think that adds much to our pool of knowledge.

As an aside…I wish I was an internet dork…if you have a look a round I haven’t posted for about 2 months and the only reason I jumped in here is to see Charles getting ragged on because believe it or not Charles is someone who is highly respected in the strength and conditioning community because he has been there and done that at the highest level and like your assumptions about me most people don’t have a clue about 99% of his achievements. If you think Charles is just EDT your missing out.

Jumanji’s bagging aside, you seem like a knowledeable guy from your previous posts. Inno-Sport DOES have a lot of good things to say, so I’d love to hear somebody who’s got a lot more experience than me interperet some things by them.

I have a few things in mind that I’d like to hear your perspective on.[/quote]
Like I keep saying…lets talk about something real and I will be happy to expose my ideas to ridicule and give all these guys a chance to jump all over.

Well, said, and no I don’t think any of those things…about you or Charles. Sometimes people just need a little prodding to actually stop being a snob and help a bulky triplejumper out. I realize you know your stuff, it is obvious… so share it.

Obviously Charles knows more than EDT, but we all must find our niche and try to make the best product within that niche. Anything groundbreaking? No, we did EDT competitions back in HS with different “levels” based on strength, and that was in the 80’s. I am sure you have done it also in your past.

But, Charles made a really nice product and systemetized the concept… I think it is great. Good for him. But it certainly doesn’t encompass his knowledge.

And you can stop offering to summarize articles for me. I have never had an issue holding my own in the classroom, even though I greatly downplay the fact. I do get sick of referencing terms, but hey the information is usually very solid, no? I do think there is some gold under the non-sense also.

Anyway, great response… finally.

Will,

What do you think of auto-regulatory training? When you train athletes do you look for any sort of performance drop-off, do you go by technique, or is it more of an instinctive thing?

That’s a great question…and no…I’m not being sarcastic and or cynical or whatever else I’ve been called lately.

It it deserves much more than a short answer…but and there is always a but…I don’t have a heap of time at the moment. I will make time to answer this properly if this short answer doesn’t suffice.

Basically I don’t really monitor athletes workloads on a micro level in that I’m not too concerned by one off sessions…after all…everybody has a bad day some times…2 bad days in row…now I get worried. My athletes keep standardised training diaries which when I say standardised I mean I give them a diary and they fill it out. These diaries not only record set, reps, load, tempo and training time but also percieved exertion along with a modified POMS. I use these to not only manage programs on a macro level but also to set parameters on a micro level as in within sessions if necessary but this rarely happens.

I will leave at this for now so everybody has a chance to have a think about it and start ripping into me and that way I can start responding to those points and giving you more details through the tried and tested practice of ridicule and personal attack…and before you ask…I actually like that…I always say to my athletes that if other coaches or athletes can’t explain clearly and concisely the reasons behind their practices you should treat that advice with the utmost caution. So if no one jumps in with comment/criticism I will jump in and start having a go at me myself to get things moving.

My main question, and where I think auto-regulatory is most powerful, comes into play with “power training.” Taking the example of depth jumps (if you do them with your athletes), a few questions:

1.) How do you determine how many reps to do in a set?
2.) And more importantly, how do you determine how many total sets to do to make sure that you:
a.) Give ENOUGH volume so as to get the desired training effect
b.) Don’t do too much so that performance is not depressed for the next training session.

I actually think a.) is a lot more difficult to answer.
