I have also played squash at county level, swum competetively for willesden, camden and the scouts, I have time trialled, Raced triathlons, and raced mountain bikes, i have competed in various martial arts for 30 years and during all that time lifted weights for 1 sport or another, i also read everything i can get my hands on about all manner of training styles, i have coached Powerlifters both in the uk and Portugal to a fairly high level, i have helped coach various other sports personell including many from contact sports, i have trained as a sports therapis and massueur and have various qualifications to support the fact...... so i guess i dont really have much background in sports, Im still learning and "Hopefully" improving daily......... and at 51 1/2 still have plenty more learning to do/........ so Fuck off dimwitt and find somewhere else to train

Its just so annoying when you get a 1st year S&C student wwalking in,,,,, such fucking dimwits and it pisses me off no end...... especially when they are only 6 stone soaking wet, i have lifted more with my ruptured right arm only (in the week after i did it) than many of these guys totals

back in the day the courses where actually good, now hes right do any basic course then go out and learn from everyone you can

strongman for example i go to terry hollands, rob frampton and a few others that are the best at what they do

for Oly lifting i go to Mas Hardiman hes one comonwealth medals etc

the best i can get to


then i assess all that, take it back and use different bits for different people


i still helped coach my mate to world championships in GS kettlebell comp and picked up on a couple of queues his other coach missed

You know why they act like that?

Your gym isn't all bright and gleaming with 30 lifting platforms and a host of other "innovative" equipment and you're old looking to them.

Too many have preconceived ideas of what a qualified trainer should look like because of who or how they are taught. IMHO

I mentioned some of the stuff here in a blog post from a few years back.
