My position in this discussion is presenting information from who I believe are highly respected individuals that I’ve mentioned. I’m not claiming fact. I’m presenting alternative information for consideration. Per my initial post in this thread.
As far as an overwhelming truth is concerned, this obviously requires an abundant population to see eye to eye, attain the same results, and so on.
If, for example, the pioneers in the coaching population were to limit their practice to what had currently existed as overwhelming truths, at their very beginnings, then I suspect many methodological principles that are agreed upon and discussed on this very forum may not have been forwarded.
fogelson, as a graduate level instructor all we know is that your understanding of the information is reflective of what information you were presented with in your studies. You are taking the popular opinion and presenting it as fact because you interpret scientific fact as being synonymous with what the overwhelming majority agrees upon.
If you consider the research on hyperplasia then you know that it is very difficult to conduct a proper study on humans- due to the process of accurately counting fibers.
My view is that taking what the mainstream agrees upon for rote is a gamble.
There’s more than enough evidence of this concept in many different professional fields.
Agreed. Though that’s not important.
Are we to believe that you are the authority as to what a discussion that pertains to muscle physiology may consist of?
I appreciate the concept of authoritarian viewpoint as I know I have my own; however, it is not your place to nit pick as to how I or anyone else may chose to make analogies.
well you have basically summarized the theme of my voice on the internet since 2003- and I am a coach in the industry with evidence based results to show for my efforts.
I believe you. No need to think otherwise.
I wasn’t aware that you were the voice of the people.
Studies- I have the work of three individuals who have had a greater impact on the way that I program training then most of what I’ve reviewed from western publications combined.
You see, what I believe is relevant to share here on the forum lies more in the direction of what successful coaches and coach educators have to say such as Val and the Bulgarian professors at the NSA.
I am not trying to change your viewpoint; however, you should chose your words more carefully. Meaning, what I perceive to be the joke for everyone is not the fact that I am presenting the work of others who I respect; but that when you say things like this:
apparently you think you speak for everyone and are in a position to instruct me as to what I might share for the consideration of others.
for the first time ever, you and I are in complete agreement.
I also agree that there is no point to further this particular exchange.
