TKAV - asked a really good question recently. It was funny when I read it, because it is the EXACT way I feel. The more you know....the more you realize you don't know much at all.
Good coaches learn. They make mistakes sometimes, and they adapt. I was thinking off the top of my head of where I have changed my views in the last 2 years, and i bet i could come up a HUGE list of things I do better now than I used to do. I hope that in 2 years, I am way better at coaching then I am now.
Anyways, just a thread to encourage people to learn, don't be afraid to make mistakes, and enjoy the process!
This was my response to TKAV in the other thread.
That's the beauty of the sport. You grind, train your butt off, try to eat to support how you train.....but you always look for ways to improve things. I need to make a list of the things I have changed my mind about over the last few years.
I bet Phil, Dante, Shelby, etc all have discovered things over the years to improve their programs. I know this because they are good at what they do, and good coaches look for ways to get better all the time.
People like to say keep it simple..which is cool, but it doesn't mean stop your pursuit of knowledge, just don't get paralyzed by it.
I really don't care what works, I just want to know what it is, and apply it to the people I work with so they get the benefit. I seriously 100% don't care. It's the end result that matters.
Off the top on my head - some thoughts..
1) I used to be a staunch proponent of eating carbs with breakfast. Not anymore. They get put to much better use around training when muscle cells are like vacuums for glucose. i would rather take in 250 grams around training, then 50 grams a meal over 5 meals.
2) Fiber - I am starting to think fiber making you completely regular is hogwash. i was discussing this with Dr. Serrano today, and he is already there. i am getting there. Whether it's solube, insoluble, etc...there just doesn't seem to be as much benefit from it as actual gut flora.
3) order of eating carbs. I feel totally different now than 2 years ago. I would rather people eat more carbs at night then during the day. You feel better, sleep better, and will not magically get fat. Your fat cells are actually more sensitive when you wake up after sleeping.
4) Accomodating resistance - I think you guys know how I feel about this. This is a GREAT tool bodybuilders are too stubborn to try. Chains are especially productive as they aren't likely to overtrain you as bands will do (eventually).
Those are off the top of my head Tom.
