Ok Action Matt...I've got a couple of things to say to you...
First to answer your question, no I do not train my athletes the same way I train my bodybuilders. Athletes have a whole other set of goals and require a different training strategy. I also do not train my elderly clients like my teens, or the women like the men, or a basketball player like a wrestler.
Second...I have NEVER EVER said once ANYWHERE that I am better or superior to anyone else. I do not say listen to me and discount what everyone else says. All I do say is that I have taken a very long time to come to my methodolgy. I have dedicated the better part of my life to health/fitness/nutrition etc. I am willing to share what I have learned with anyone and everyone...even those I compete against. And if I did not know for sure whether what I say has worked wonders for me and my hundreds of clients over the years, than I WOULD NOT SAY IT!
I will say it again. Science should not be ignored. Science has its place and I read all the journals just like you. But science will never replace REAL WORLD EVIDENCE and REAL WORLD RESULTS.
If I wanted to visit the jungles of Africa, would I read a book on the subject...maybe, but then I'd hire an experienced guide, someone who has been there, experienced the sights, the smells...knows the dangers, what to look for, what to avoid...someone that can really SHOW ME THE WAY around in the safest, most efficient way possible!
So, thats what I am...a guide...a pretty f'n big one!
