I read something Gray Cook wrote in an article some time ago and he said, "that's like stacking fitness on top of dysfunction" -- so true. Well said mate!

Its amazing to watch trainers put everyone on the same program, or just pick exercises out of a book and then say they have created a specific program. In the limited time that I have been doing this, I have yet to meet a coach or "personal trainer" that has asked their athletes or clients: Have you ever been injured? What were you doing that caused the injury? What have you done in the past? What is coming up in the future that you have to be ready for? I have also yet to hear a trainer or coach tell their athlete or client that they are going to correct their form and to strengthen specifically where their weak points are. This is unfortunate for the people that get trained by these people because they do not get what they truely need. Every body is a fingerprint and is unique, it should not be treated as if it was the same as someone elses body. The result of training everyone the same and just trying to overload our athletes is more injuries will occur and the old ones will never go away. Believe it or not, you CAN OVER TRAIN someone. We ask our athletes and clients to give us 100% and they should expect us to give them 110% and to do everything we can for them. Good article Jeff,

Great article. Its amazing to watch trainers put everyone on the same program, or just pick exercises out of a book and then say they have created a specific program. In the limited time that I have been doing this, I have yet to meet a coach or “personal trainer” that has asked their athletes or clients:

Have you ever been injured?
What were you doing that caused the injury?
What have you done in the past?
What is coming up in the future that you have to be ready for?
