@tuckplatt So you jacked this?

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@timkettenring @MarkHoover71 @CoachDrafts @T_Cortazzo Which is wild because no shade is thrown at Tony who id say does the same thing he’s saying you do

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@MarkHoover71 @CoachDrafts @T_Cortazzo You have an opinion about the argument being silly unless someone satisfies conditions.

I hope you do too!

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@MarkHoover71 @CoachDrafts @T_Cortazzo I guess my question to you would be why post an opinion about not having an opinion? Wouldn’t that be the logical conclusion if you don’t actually care?

Also, are you subtweeting someone by saying not this Tim?

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@BrendanThompsn Ultimately, I respect your perspective on it. I don’t interact with him because you’re right, we can coexist. The world is big enough and neither him nor I would benefit from the discussion at this point. So I’d rather just live and let live

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@BrendanThompsn Yeah I think it’s unfair for me to belabor my kind of nitpicky side. I agree with a lot of what you’re saying and know you’re kind of playing the middle here and you aren’t him so it’s not fair. I just think if he can’t decipher it, he should avoid responding then.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@BrendanThompsn And part of the random haters, again, is his reactions.

As the face of an idea and being contrarian, the idea should be able stand on its own merits in discourse. But discourse is necessary.

Again, your take is right before. Just my thoughts on it

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@BrendanThompsn I guess my counter is that when you assume everyone comes with malevolence, that’s all you’ll see.

I don’t respect how he interacts with genuine questions and conversations he immediately deemed not worth discussing.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@pntrack @Guadango So if he said a pitcher throwing 101 once and getting hurt, you’d have the same reaction? It’s an example, not an example of you

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@pntrack @Guadango I’m not sure why you inferred that his example was your player. I read it as an overarching example.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

This.

People just don’t seem to understand physiology or even transfer which is why they say that strength isn’t effective or whatever “nuanced” gobbledygook they say.

[Coach Wayland | Performance Expert | Craftsman @WSWayland]

The original statement is the kind of half-true physiology that leads coaches to under-load athletes.

Maximum strength is the foundation of speed and power development. It is rarely sufficient by itself at the true elite level, but for majority of the population it remains necessary and usually the primary limiting factor.

In real-world training, getting significantly ‘stronger almost always makes an athlete faster and more explosive’ not an error but a heuristic. Even well into advanced levels and only in the top of athletes (world-class specialists) does the relationship start to flatten or require much more velocity-specific work to see further gains.

Chris has blocked me for some reason.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@PratikxPatel Name and shame.

But it’s seriously wild how these people are known to be this way by people but naming them would effectively ensure you never get a coaching job. Even if they did interview someone wearing only a towel and abuse/harass interns and athletes.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@clh_strength @CoachKenVick Unless the information is just blatantly wrong

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@clh_strength @CoachKenVick No it’s like telling a scout not to use a stop watch and then calculate velocity of the pitch from distance and time when we already have radar guns that work.

[the Strength Goy @based_coach1]

Is everyone in the field just afraid to call out how insanely stupid this new wave of Triphasic training is? Do they not wanna hurt Cal’s feelings? Are we afraid to go against the Current Thing™️? This looks like Joel Seedman having a seizure. This isn’t even not good, it’s bad.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@based_coach1 Go ahead and ask how many of his players got injured in the weight room while we are at it.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@who_natejones I coached for 10 years before I touched technology. I managed to monitor, improve strength and speed, and enforces standards.

If tech is driving your teams intent, you need to reevaluate your coaching.

[Mar PhD(c), CSCS, USAW-L1, CPT @UnnamedDeluca]

@strengthpolice All of them forget that history knows the efficacy of VBT. But it’s cool. I’m enjoying my truth while their lies are so convincing.
