As i sit here and think about what to write, i am a little baffled. I am always amazed at the range of readers i have. I was actually scolded while in Gardenerville Nevada (south Carson Valley, next to Lake Tahoe) by a local member of Crossfit Carson Valley. She was upset that i had been lax in my posting recently so i apologized and promised many more posts to come.
Again as i sit here and think about the range of my audience, i am again baffled. So, i ask you, what do YOU want to hear about?
She scolds me all the time when I slack off too! Since you have been around the block so to speak what I’d like to see is your reviews of other gyms and their programs, the good the bad, the ugly. I don’t care who or where but really what makes a quality and not so quality establishment.
how’d you do your shoulder?
I would love to hear your take on some of the more controversial debates going on in the strength and conditioning and CrossFit worlds such as the use of high rep oly lifts in WODs, kipping vs. non-kipping pull-ups, the use of the sumo deadlift high pull, etc.
How about a list of exercises you feel are overrated, not very useful or down right pointless.
I’d like to hear about your journey of finding out what makes a real difference in your life, in any area.
^^^I like Davi’s suggestion
Mine:
-Periodzation in programming
-Recovery-specific nutrition
-Pitfalls of self-programming
Thank You all!!
Bill, interesting question…
I am going to start hammering some stuff out so stay tuned but also keep posting questions!
-training videos
-a progress report of how your lifts have been improving over time
e.g. how the back squat progresses over time and in response to various training programs
I think your posts are great!
If anything, I would love to see more info regarding your seminar topics. I have your DVD, and signed up for your seminar (which was unfortunately cancelled), and would love to hear more of your training methods and philosophy.
Keep up the amazing work!!!!!
I would like to hear more about:
your training templates! Like how you said earlier: What goes on in your mind on a daily basis in regards to training.
Anything controversial in the world of fitness, and even the world of athletic training. Like anything Squat-related controversy. Cause there is a boat-load amount of it.
I second everything that mike, dan, and dave said haha
Maybe even what your college major was and how or why it translated to being one of the best trainers out there? Cause the amount of unknowledgeable trainers out there are also super-high! Even places like “The Rush”, the trainers are teaching people to squat with toes turned in… It’s crazy!
Thanks!
i am with bill. for a few more specifics, i would like to hear about your evolution as an athlete. could we get a peak inside your training log every few weeks? not the reps, sets, exercises etc (unless it is pertinent), but more of the subjective “dan john questions”–what did you learn? what did you improve? what did you enjoy? if we were kicked back over a beer (or a black espresso), what would you tell me about your training/life (cause for many of us, there isn’t too much of a line between the two!) how about posts on–what i can do to be a better client?
I’d love to hear what you’ve got to say about Mike’s, Bill’s and Kat’s suggestions.
It’s all good brother, Maybe some information on your nutrition. Thoughts on PWO meals and IF’n. Thanks Dutch.
How did you get so ugly?
How do olympic weighlifters lift more weight (get stronger and more powerful) while staying at their weight class bodyweight?
it’s interesting to me how olympic lifters get so strong relative to their bodyweight too.
galabin boevski (69kg lifter) could squat 250 fairly easily
the most recent olympic gold medalist and world champion liao hui (69kg lifter) has a 245 back squat as reported by his coach in an interview
One thing that has already been said, your take on the methodolodgy for templete’s, but also I would like to hear your take on the suppliment industry and how over hyped it is or isn’t in the Crossfit world.
Plus I’d love to hear your take on why olympic lifting is almost NEVER talked about in fitness magizenes.
