I’ll take Sunday at 530

First thing we can look at is Cali’s article about shitty coaches https://powerathletehq.com/2014/11/07/poor-coaching-big-3/
A coach can let laziness, lack of knowledge, and ego get in the way of further developing their coaching abilities. I’ve seen many coaches be super stubborn about sticking to their guns even when they’re wrong or hurting the athletes. At that point the coach gets the in middle of ven diagram of the trifecta (insert diagram) the coach lacks the knowledge to help the athlete and won’t ask for help or be receptive to advice because of ego and the coach won’t learn the info because they are lazy.
In my life the opportunity to coach is lacking I get 2-4 hours per week to coach. Not nearly enough to accelerate the adaptation of my coaches eye and experience.
A knowledgeable mentor is important too because if you are getting advice from someone who suffers from the trifecta you are not helping yourself.
As long as the coach isn’t his own barrier I believe that opportunity is the next biggest factor hindering the development of a coach. At that point you have to create your own opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing other barriers

Our intensity levels in the BLoS development start with the Submaximal Effort Method. Zatsiorsky states, the Maximal Effort Method has limitations to beginners because of high risk of injury from lack of technique and lack of neuromuscular coordination (1995, p.81). Our use of the Submaximal Effort Method allows the athlete to develop the needed neuromuscular coordination and technical proficiency that will be needed once the weight gets heavy and the athlete begins to reach his rep max. The volume of our BLoS program is steady throughout each weak until the athlete begins to fail. When the athlete fails, volume self-adjusts based on the volume. Remember when Luke said “load must dictate reps”? This is what we are talking about for this program; the intensity (load) must dictate volume (reps) to drive the specific adaptation we are training for (The Amateur Program, 2016, Time hack 10:48).
I mentioned when an athlete fails earlier, now we will talk about the failure and reset. The program will self-regulate when failure occurs. We’ll see the athlete start to fail in the 1-3 rep range down the road in the program. This allows the athlete to get the majority of adaptation through the CNS rep range and well back off the weight to 3 weeks back. Intensity drops and volumes rises. This allows use to work on the athletes general speed and continue to get more and more reps under the bar to train towards the athlete’s unconscious-competence (automatic motor response) (Siff, 2004, p.24).
The volume and intensity in the BLoS program works like the ebb and flow of the tide in the ocean. At the beginning we have a constant flow inward (intensity increasing). The flow cannot go forever and will start to ebb back. This is indicative of our reset. We push the intensity until we can’t go any more and well reset (ebb) the athlete and they will flow back up the shore even more past the last weight they successfully completed. This is the proof of further adaptation for the athlete. This ebb and flow is the art and science the coach needs to manage through the program to accelerate the adaptation of establishing the BLoS.

Link to my 3RM.

I haven’t done FS since October. My shit has been pretty weak because of it.

*WEEK 8 DISCUSSION*
I have limited experience with other coaches philosophies in periodization. What I can gander from Hatfield is that periodization is, for certain people, difficult to understand.

A criticism which holds water against periodization is the exact science it tends to use. the body and it’s reaction to stress can be predicted but not in a perfect manner. what I mean by this is the increases in volume and/or intensity may come too late or too early in the periodization to accelerate adaptation.

In my mind, you should stick to the “code” (guidelines) when it comes to periodization and have it be about of the art and science of coaching with the coach knowing how and when to use it to the benefit of the athlete through experience.

Note to Past Self
If you’re not in control of your schedule make sure you have the “okay” from the boss to embark on the academy. I have a lot of control over my schedule but you still need to make sure you will be able to take the time over 10 weeks.Take the time to reflect on the notes, reading, and lectures. I use a huge white board to consolidate the most important notes, definition, principles, etc. The process of reading, hearing, and writing this information helps engrain it into you memory better.
Have a good level of knowledge in anatomy, physiology, physics, and writing. My education from college has helped enormously because I don’t have to go look up words or go learn a system which a book is talking about. Writing will be huge and you need to have a decent level of knowledge of the writing process and APA format.
Have an athlete on the linear progression. I was able to get a decent portion of my soldiers on the LP but just 1-3 athletes would be a perfect size to use for the videos throughout the Academy.
Be audacious and work your ass off. Don’t be there to just get by. Set the standard for the class and make the trade-off to give most of your free time to the class. If you’re not good at managing time, get better and do it fast.
Don’t be afraid to fail. View it as training, to succeed you will have points you fail or get told your point of view is wrong. Don’t play it safe, fuck safe.

I’ll add emotional eating that people can’t control or aren’t aware of.
I have a hard time finding solutions for this. I’m not a behavior expert. I’ll default to, do you want to improve your performance?.. Yes, then eat to fuel your body and not cuz of your weak ass emotions.

I’m going to jump on this before everyone else says all the common barriers.
I dont work with gen pop. I help my soldiers, for those who want to listen.
I have little patients for people’s excuses too so I have been quite an ass about these things.
Barrier:
I don’t have time
Solution:
Make time or stay fat and get kicked out of the Army.
Barrier:
But I already spent money on the bad food in my house and don’t want to throw it out.
Solution:
I threw my girlfriends crap out and she got pissed. Now I just throw judgemental glares her way when I see here eat crap. I offer my soldiers to let me come over and throw it out for them. Throw it out or stay sub-par.
Barrier:
I don’t like the way it tastes
Solution:
Learn how to cook, find a new way to cook, find new food choice
Barrier:
I eat out a lot
Solution:
Stop eating out (unless it’s really good pussy). Eat before you go out and buy something small. Be the one to choose where to eat.

Safety in plyometrics is quite comical after I read more about it. Specifically referring to the end of the first paragraph in ST. The bottom line is that, people oppose plyometric training becuase of the types of ballistic activity. While ballistic activity happens in pretty much all field and area sports. They imply the ballistic movement in sport is safe but not in training (Siff, 2004, p.267).
A concern of plyomtric training is overload. Overload is “the imposition of too great of force at any given time” (Siff, 2004, p.267)”. Specifically with Power Athletes, we dont want to overload the system with ballistic movements while an athlete has trouble maintaining posture and position. This calls for simplifying the plymetric exercise to an individual to prescribe proper levels of volume and intensity according to the principle of gradual progressive overload and allow for adaquate recovery (Siff, 2004, P.267-268)

Is there a typo in the due dates for this week?
Assignment B is said to be due March 2, 2016, at 12PM EST. In the course detail, there is only assignment A with all 4 assignments due Monday.

I did warm ups with him. In the instructions and your reply to Carl you just said you wanted empty bar and 3 RM and 2 1/2 RM.
Reps with coaching is a weakness of mine I’m actively working on.
