FINALLY, A RESOURCE THAT SHOWS YOU HOW TO DESIGN CUTTING EDGE FITNESS TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT DELIVER RESULTS EVERY TIME!”“Methods are many,Principles are few,Methods often change,Principles never do.”That’s what Alwyn has done with The Program Design Bible. He lays out all the principles you’ll ever need for successful programming for athletes and fitness clients.Did he make them up himself. Nope.He studied, he surrounded himself with good people, and he stole. Not in a bad way. He’ll always tell you where he gets his information, but mostly he relies on first hand experience. How much experience?Try writing over 150,000 training programs. Some worked. Some didn’t.“Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless.”Here’s a taste of what real-life experience teaches you that Alwyn has put in the BS category:# Research has all the answers…researchers are strength and conditioning historians who study methods that trainers have already found to be successful.# Train Big Muscles before smaller muscles…what if it’s the smaller muscles that are holding back.# Body part “Split” Routines…mostly useless and simply leftovers from heyday of bodybuilding (Although he admits respect for all at the top of their craft)# Never train the core first…what if your core weakness is limiting your performance.# Fat Burning Zone…doesn’t exist…you’re in that mythical zone right now.# Aerobic Training…essentially useless for fat loss.Where do trainers fail according to Alwyn?They don’t assess the needs of the client. If you’re not assessing, you’re just guessing. Exercise is drug. If it’s prescribed in the wrong dose or the wrong frequency or according to ineffective principles, at best nothing will happen. At worst, you end up with an injured client.Are there any magic exercise? Nope.The key to successful programming is the manipulation of loading parameters. It’s the sets, reps, and loads that makes the program successful. Then select the appropriate exercises.
