Not a fan of a physio being in charge of performance. I hope I'm wrong.

It may seem like he's a job hooper, however his role over the last decade has mainly been to set up a good high performance program. Not run it. This is why he attracts such a bonkers salary, he plans to make himself obsolete.

And Burgo is a good manager and sees the deficiencies in a program, makes changes, hires better people and then he's not necessary after the culture change. He seems to have priced himself into this type of short term role

Stu did his apprenticeship under Burgo the last time he was here and has developed himself and took over after Macca. I see no reason to pay a bloke 3-4 times as much because of his name over a dude who can do at least 90% of his job. Burgos clout comes from his innovations in GPS tracking...

haha Novak ain't plant based

People boiled their boot leather and ate it in ww2. You can do almost anything, the questions was is it optimal and the answer is categorically not. If you're being told it's not you're being sold a bill of goods. I read his blogs. It's fine for a non athlete. For an athlete it doesn't make...

You're in the ideology camp on the science camp.

Yeah it was, the argument was it was superior for performance. Which is a bonkers argument. No nutritionist with more than 2 brain cells to rub together agrees with that. Performance nutrition and health nutrition are completely different concepts. If you want to argue that its better for...

This is literally one of the worst endorsements ever for being a vegetarian or vegan. During the filming many athletes pulled out because they went back to eating meat. No one is at the top of their sport and the experiments done are laughable to anyone with a remote science background...

Meat only seems to work really well for people with autoimmune issues. So chill on the its dumb crap. Context is everything. Can't see it being useful for a repeat burst sport like afl. Carbs are a must.

If you can get a scholarship to Alabama having never put a helmet on, I think that's a bit different. Specialist skillset, impressive, but not the same thing at all.

punters or players?

Aussies D1 players to watch this year: Jordan Moko OL Texas A&M Jack Low DL Fordham University Zachary Neilsen LB Tulsa University Frankie Tinilau OL University of Miami Malakai Railton-Stewart DL University of Idaho Jayden O'Rourke TE - University of Nevada Top 3 should get decent game time...

As with anything controversial like this - not a lot of room for nuance. Shame.

I inherited a female athlete that got a set of 24 of what should've been a hard 8 Had a young fella that did 95x4x3 for front squats for a month and said they just didn't feel great. I made him do an impromptu 1RM and started with 105 upping 10kgs at a time. Finished with a 135. Wildly...

That's the big secret, a natty lifter doesn't need much volume. Ran the 1x20 program for the first half of the year and worked up to 20x140kg RDL off 1 set a week. Seen a lot of my athletes have enormous improvements off doing minimal work too - but you need to push hard in that 1 set.

Not as a client, as a colleague. He got fired.

I've worked with him. I dismiss his work.

Also - its not so much that the club only employs generalists - It's that they're accounting for 44 guys not 1 - by definition the programs need to be somewhat general.

Red flags haha. I've seen him as a young fella, legit crazy. I'm just happy Boaky has him in Cali instead of seeing Prime Train. That guys a snake oil merchant and then some

They all have farms or hobby farms, new ford ranger ? Tax deduction. Etc Cost of living down there is cheaper too so disposable income vs absolute income is good. It’s not rocket science.

Pro Kick, over 100 scholarships now

Zachary Neilsen also plays for them, redshirt freshman LB from Brisbane and is built like an Adonis. 6'1 230 and runs a 4.5 A group in Brisbane now have 10 non punter scholarships in college or committed for next year

I blame PrimeTrain. Absolutely numpty

Stephen Belichick is the outside linebackers coach for the New England Patriots, coached by his father the GOAT head coach Bill Belichick. Stephen has worked his way up since beginning in 2012. Nepotism isn't bad unless the person who gets their foot in the door is sub par after walking...

Generally speaking we like things we're good at, it makes us feel valuable compared to our peers. We're silly little creatures. If doing deads makes you feel like a beast do them and don't look back. Torturing myself on the assault bike or rower makes me walk a couple feet taller.

Are you really good at deadlifting ?

Time will tell, I think you're pulling the trigger a little early 4 games into his new team.

All of whom have gone onto multiple AA years.....

Normal dips can be done in the corner of a kitchen bench. Diamond push ups , skull crushers - bodyweight skull crushers, . Again, its just extending the elbow. How you do it is largely inconsequential. The over arching principle I'm trying to get across in these posts is do things that...
