With the tight deadline and a make or break event, why would anyone want to waste their time on GPP when strength/speed and power is the name of any game in sports which is harder to train compared to training everything at once.

so how does that apply to anything that has transpired from what i posted to your CF apologetics? I didn't know the military was interested in breaking winning medals and breaking world records in a sports environment too.

This may be true for more competitive athletes, but like Sufian mentioned, he's working with regular kids, maybe not even school team athletes. Most of these athletes lack GPP and basic strength levels to begin with, so that would be a good place to start them off. As much as I'm not a CF fan, I gotta admit it is pretty good at getting GPP and basic strength levels up assuming the instructor is capable of preventing injuries in a large group setting. I believe this is possible with our Mr "Safety-First" Sufian. Not that you can't do it on your own with some circuit training or our 300 type workouts. But CF is more recognized and convenient and so might be an easier sell to the school and students.

Hey i didn't bring in the military and the USMC...
I was just stating not to JUST rely only on CF kind of training but look at how things are ran outside of it also. Thats all...

But well i got jumped at the corner lol

Heres a shovel Louis,

Go and dig yourself a deeper hole.

Did you listen to the article I posted?

Why you of all people are talking about elite performance when you cant even pass the ippt is beyond me.

May I suggest you work on GPP, then you may understand what your talking about?

Stick and stones...jerry

taking a dig at me to defend your religion now that hurts.

This the reason why, as soon as I can, I want to go for certification. Most prob by 2010.

Does it matter where you take the certification?Are there large variances in the knowledge and teaching abilities of the instructors at various certifications, i.e. do I get Rippetoe certifying me if I go to Wichita Falls, and some random Level 1 schmuck if I do it at CF Malaysia? I think that makes a huge difference. Might be worth paying the price for Sufian to go to a good certification rather than a generic one. He's after the knowledge after all, not the certificate, and I suspect the school will be paying for his expenses so why not?

Think about it

Your young, injury free , access to quality info on strengthcoach.com and you cannot even pass ippt?

The certification will only be conducted by the coach and his team. Doing it in Malaysia would be more cost effective for Suffian. And when we have an affiliation here in Singapore, we can invite the coach over to conduct a certification.

his popularity on t-nation skyrocketed when he lost his beer gut.

i'm sure he already knew tons of shit even when he had a beer gut, but not too many gave a fuck until he showed everyone what he can 'do'......

and i figure there is not much point in listening to people who don't do whatever it is they're preaching... in fact, if they're not 'doing' then what exactly do they know?
