We'll every year we get a new coach to over see us. This GA( grad. assistant) said he's gonna put the guys on a "football players work out!" Now while i'm very open to new workouts new ideas.... BUT.....WE AREN"T FOOT BALL PLAYERS! One of th eguys asked him what rep range we'd be doing....he said 12 10 8 6 5 3 or somthing....he went real fast...he said guys would be doing alot of bench and squats...and no cleans or anything.......while I like those lifts( bench, squats) no wher ein cheerleading to we push a girl away from us? These 2 workouts a week, will drasitcly interfere with what i'm doing now? So whats a semi educated wanna be powerlifting cheerleader to do? -------------- Get your bicep curling, cut off shirt, matching workout outfit wearing,flexing in mirror "toned" wanna-be ass , out of my squat rack!

My coaches always wanted us doin these pointless high-rep workouts and marathon runs every day. It not only was very frustrating, but it gave me a long list of injuries and tendonitis that still haunt me to this day.

Just explain that you know what your body responds to well, and that you have other prioriteies other than a "football" workout. -------------- Iron and chalk.

Tell him that you make great progress and that you have worked very hard at your time there. Like you said, be very careful with what you say. This guy doesn't sound too bright, and he probably has a good sized ego. -------------- I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious. --Vince Lombardi "Decide what you want, decide what you are willing to exchange for it.
