Getting in this morning, I realize that I have about a billion different customizations to the program.
Different people with slightly different needs that warrant "fine tuning" of the template that I offer daily.
No Problem! The HITCH is that I don't remember numbers as well as I use to. Solution! Write it all down. Issue: Space on the white board. Solution: Write smaller
By the time I finish writing several variation of the general program, I have what looks like Good Will Huntings solution to the calculus problem.
It is a MASTERPIECE of color and symbols.
However, this takes me roughly 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
THAT is not bad. However, it cuts into the "quiet time" of the morning that I had set aside for my own training. Again, NOT that big a deal, but now because I am paid to Coach rather than work out, I need to address the form flaws first. THIS, causes a session that should take only 45-60 minutes to complete, to extend to 5 hours in duration.
Whew! That ruins my macros. Hahahahahahahaha!
I'll lay wager that I am one of the few people that actually has two meals per training session!!!!

I was referred to an article that referenced a lot of today's "Research" done by the highly educated Professionals of the Strength and Conditioning Community is redundant B.S. knowing the consumer won't read in order to market the next "Hot" item.
Seems like some highly respected people are actually snake oil salesman. Why are they highly respected? Because they MUST know what they are talking about, they have reference material and use very large words in a very large vocabulary.
They really haven't produced anything of value, but become popular on the internet. Mostly through Social Media.
So I did an experiment to see if it worked.
I sent a message out talking about Coffee. I won't go into details, but I said that there was a hoax going on about it.
My B.F.F. wrote me about liking the idea of the hoax coffee.
I bulled over the response he made and pulled an abstract from one of the Medical web sites, that had a LOT of words and numbers.
That's all it was! The actual article was about lettuce in the diet, NOT coffee at all.
After he told me that it was too "sciencey" I had a chuckle at his expense, but he did even it all out by telling me that he simply "liked the flavor" and had nothing to do with the science that I was trying to establish.
Regardless, the article sited many of the new trends that are out and about. Whether they are true or not, Caveat emptor
