Strength bit: Coaching

An important aspect of training is the hands on element were a coach is able to foster a rapport with their athlete and in turn know their strength and weaknesses. Once established, this athlete-coach relationship allows for coaches to get the most out of their athletes because they accurately monitor the intensity given by the athlete as well as make better adjustments, or tailor the program when needed.

Recently I've been asked to write programs for people, or I am asked what I do for my workouts. While it would be nice to be paid, these situations would probably produce OK results at best because I am unable to coach all these people in person. Also, people tend to mess programs up unless active coaching is involved because they often do not understand the program and often do not apply the appropriate intensity.

So i'm going to just start putting my workouts here in this blog. Hopefully this will encourage me to update strength bits more frequently, and hopefully get back to reading my bible again (you know, internets accountability). Additionally, if people ask what my program is they can follow along, but if they mess it up its on them. With that said, questions are welcome.
