I know Mark uses the Omega Wave System to determine the athletes readiness. I know he trains the energy systems for his athletes. However, does he use block training or periodzation? What type percentages does he use for weightlifting?
Any help on his metodics would greatly be appreciated!
You should try reading his incredibly insightful messages on EliteFTS… really…
Just to play devil’s advocate here. I used the Omegawave to assess my training the past 2 years and ran 11.3x and 23.0x bests. I threw it in the bottom of my clothes drawer and this year and ran 11.03 and 22.38. It’s an educational system for sure but beware of spending careers waiting for the OW to tell you that athletes physiologically ready to train. And anyone who tells you that you can’t understand their training because they are guided by the omegawave needs a smack in the head IMO:)
They have taken all of Mark’s answers off the site. Any help in methodics?
Mark generally did not offer much info on there. His typical response would be something like “i use the omegawave so you can’t really understand what i am trying to develop”.
James might know.
You aren’t missing anything.
The OmegaWave simply confirms what good coaches should already know. It does not tell you what to do. I would be very concerned if a coach was telling you that the OmegaWave was the cornerstone of his or her approach.
Charlie has had a version of the OmegaWave built into his brain for decades. It’s called using his eyes, ears and hands (as well as his stopwatch and discussions with the athletes).
Brilliant!
More than anything I would use the OW to monitor your training and see what it tells you rather than using it as a guide.
According to my many conversations with him, Mark’s current methodological approach is influenced via two primary factors:
Mark also hired my friend Landon Evans, formerly of Illinois State, a few months ago and Landon uses more of a block approach.
This is all that I will say.
For any more information I would suggest to contact either Mark or Landon via the PTC website.
Tons of helpful information, why not share more. 
I have contacted but he will not share information. Only people in the inner circle get information.
Ooooooo. How do I get into the inner cirlce??? wtf:rolleyes:
He use to be a real helpful guy but have change for the worst.
Why has he changed?
Most people I have meet who aren’t willing to help are either so full of s–t or are sick of other people taking there help and using it as there own.
Give me Charlie’s Omega Wave anyday. Worse case scenario Charlie can tell you to take a jump of a cliff.
Im not sure why he has change, his training style has even change, I wish him the best because it seems like his system is a success.
I think one of the reasons he does not share is because some of the information Val shares with him will eventually be made into a book. The other information that Val has given him was made public at a seminar at PTC, but Mark has promised not to share this information as the people who did attend paid a lot of money. Also I think that Mark wanted to give people the tools, but everyone wants everything handed 2 them.
Well when the book comes out we will see what it contains.
I’m always careful when someone says they have a secret - because there are none
Actually, if there are any, by definition, you’ll never hear about them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be secret.
