The Symbiosis of Gyms and Online Training Post-Pandemic

June 17, 2020
Posted by Samson

In the midst of the reopening growing pain, most beginners will continue to participate or fumble around buying or researching online programs.

Personal trainers and / or coaches who are not sold in online coaching take note of this. This article will be a discussion of the win-win situation for the average gym user and online trainer.

What is online coaching?

At a time when the information superhighway is just a tap on the smartphone, jobs, including personal training, can be accessed online. However, this wealth of information comes at a price.

This price is called the paradox of choice. The more information about training, nutrition, rehabilitation is available, the less accessible it is and the less screening takes place, which leads us into the era of online coaching.

I start with what online coaching is not. It is not a random stranger with a CPT certificate that asks you for money and merely provides an unspecific, immeasurable, unreachable program and set of guidelines.

In fact, it's not a fad diet in conjunction with bro-science training programs. It is a legitimate business model and a way to make progress.

Selecting a trainer in certain circles defines exactly what this means. For example, an online bodybuilding coach will ask:

The trainer should be:

In Olympic weightlifting, trainers should have participated in this sport, received certification and successfully taught others.

Trainers should be actively involved in their communitieswhether it's within an association or an online community, not Instagram.

During the on-boarding process of online coaching, the coach then asks a number of questions to best meet the customer's needs. Programming should be a product of these questionnaires.

After the onboarding process, follow-up calls, check-ins and personal meetings follow. This combination of expertise, support and customization creates a useful online coaching experience.

Start online now?

COVID-19 has closed most fitness facilities worldwide, and as such, most people have refrained from eating a clean and sensible diet and, in some cases, from doing all activities.

For those who have become passive and unmotivated, reopening the gym will not miraculously rejuvenate the glow of fitness. Instead, a schedule starts in her home to go back to the gym and continue a healthy lifestyle.

At home there are great tools that you can discuss with your weighted workout trainer such as: B. gallons or sofas. Home cooking is also becoming increasingly important when restaurants are closed.

It was not easier to learn how to count your macros, weigh foods, and understand nutrient levels. With a healthier plan, most dishes don't come from a can or box. They require spices, marinades and the cooking of raw materials. There is more time inside the house to spend with the family without worrying about the spread.

After social distancing?

Hybrid coaching. If a trainer stagnates and does not separate from pen and paper during this time, they are considerably disadvantaged. Zoom workouts, YouTube and seminars are becoming increasingly popular with young and old.

Coaches now have more work to do. They have to be accessible outside of the gym or office, scalable to their customers and offer an obsessively excellent service or lose face to IG models.

A face-to-face meeting may or may not be a reward, but should be as important as the online part, if not higher.

Companies like Starting Strength and Renaissance Periodization have taken this to another level. They offer seminars and camps, both in person and online, and offer certifications for ordinary people to learn the technique and implement it at home in the kitchen or in the gym.

Many customers and clients will not return to the fitness facilities immediately. With established guidelines, social distancing and cumbersome fitness etiquette are not too far away.

Online coaching offers the opportunity to regain control Learn to be more steady regardless of your fitness environment and don't seem to get far when you return.

I hope this has been helpful and encourages you to regain control of your health and inspire you to support your local trainers. Lift with love, my friends.

Stop Overdoing Sport Specific Training

June 11, 2020
Posted by Samson

For most lifters, specificity is an overused training philosophy. I know this is a controversial statement in strength training communities, but I'm still not sorry I said it. It's the truth, and this quarantine gives us a unique moment to test this theory.

Let's talk about what specificity is. In short, it is the training principle that states that you improve a particular skill by performing that skill, not other related exercises, but repeatedly perfecting that particular thing. If it is not yet clear, I believe that the specificity in strength circles has become too dogmatic.

When specificity is needed

But the people who benefit from the specificity are top athletes who have to be exceptionally good at their sport. This applies to elite weight lifters and powerlifters as well as elite sprinters and professional running backs. Most athletes that fit in this category already have solid overall strength, are genetically freaked out, and physically fit for their sport. The only thing left to do is to become more and more efficient with details.

But just liking a sport or even being good at one doesn't make you a top athlete who needs to be overly specific in your training. And I would argue that even the best lifters could benefit from spending some time building non-specific power. The problem is that they never listen.

When the gyms were closed

But one day when we Americans thought we had found out everything, the government decided to shut down the country, including our beloved gyms, and no dumbbells were found at once. There are no garage gyms here in NYC, so we all had to lift in our tiny NYC apartments. This meant that my gym had to transform from a barbell gym to a kettlebell, barbell, and odd object gym overnight. But that was a blessing in disguise.

So what we did differently from most others is that we didn't kill people with senseless metcons.

When Yuri Verkoshansky said, "Any idiot can make another idiot tired." We believed him.

So we threw burpees overboard in favor of light speed work. We focused on individual limb movements and trunk stability work as well as sensible, measurable methods to improve the condition of our athletes. At times, this included things like AMAP sets, which were not used as finishers, but rather were incorporated into training cycles aimed at building up work capacities. There is a difference.

More important than anything else, we have developed programming that targets where we knew our lifters were defective. By definition, these movements are not specific. But I'm going to tell you what's going to happen, not because I'm a clairvoyant, but because I've been here for a while. You will come back better.

To be able to better define it, we have to be clear: these athletes have neither additional weight for their primary lifts nor larger muscles. That doesn't mean better here. What will be better is that they return to training with:

The long-lasting effect of this phenomenon is that in the long run they become better, healthier and, yes, stronger. Not seeing training in this regard means neglecting one of the most basic principles of human strength.

We can only accumulate until we need a delay. This should be done in your training at both the micro and macro levels. So let's do a favor and Use this time to do what we should have done a long time ago – stop exaggerating the details.

The Power of Virtual Training

May 23, 2020
Posted by Samson

The power of virtual training is a guide for coaches to introduce and implement this new medium.

It's a strange time to be alive and an excellent time to be a coach. We as trainers and coaches have the knowledge to master these challenging times and to lead our customers to new effective routines and health habits. With our insight and promise of accountability, our clients have a rare opportunity to recover from this pandemic while maintaining their exercise habits.

This recovery is largely due to technological advances (virtual training) that enables us to be present without having to physically contact the customer. As a thought exercise, imagine that these shutdowns were in effect before Zoom, What’s App, Skype, and FaceTime existed.

I've been a coach for over six years, and I've only recently seen the severity of the impact we can have on a person's well-being if the chips wear off. But:

How do we do our job when there is no job?
How can we work efficiently without equipment?
And how in the world are we going to have effective one-on-one conversations without being face to face?

Fortunately, as a trainer, we are adaptable. When a client presents us with a new injury, sprained thumb, or pain, we adapt. We reprogram and get to work to find a safe and effective way to get around the limitation.

That makes us intelligent trainers. We can be flexible and give the answer when it doesn't seem so obvious, while keeping an eye on our customers' goals, limitations and habits.

In essence, COVID-19 is the violation and virtual training is the modification. Virtual training is the platform that not only supports our companies during shutdown, but also enriches our customer experience when the doors are opened again. Imagine that your customer, who travels every two weeks, can now remain consistent with their actual coach due to the virtual training.

Of course, a resistance band row in a hotel door rope is less effective than a pendlay row. However, a resistance band row in a hotel door rope is ten times more effective than fifteen repetitions when changing channels and one repetition when ordering food at the hotel bar. We can be the anchor for our customers' travel plans, but first we need to discuss how we can be efficient in this new medium.

Client conversion

We can assume that our customers naturally have reservations about switching to an online training platform. Your willingness to make the change, however, is primarily guided by our enthusiasm as a trainer.

Until they learn first-hand that the platform can offer a programmatic approach to fitness, they will be skeptics. As your trainer, we have to outline what you can expect. And always remember to promise too little and deliver too much.

If you share this fear as a coach, try to train another coach or friend on a virtual platform and challenge each other to put together effective training. Once you experience the value for yourself, it will be a more real conversation that will explain to your customers how it will impact.

It is important that you divide your customer list into the following three categories before discussing the conversion:

Excited to convert – These are customers who love your programming and brand. They are the ones who do their homework every week, show up on time with enthusiasm and communicate how they feel and what they eat outside of sports lessons. These customers also happen to see the best results.
Reluctant to convert – This group is generally reluctant to apply new practices. Perhaps they show resistance to changes in programming, despite scientific research into why you do what you do. These customers need social proof that other customers are already training and having fun online.
These customers love to work out with you, but without the gym they don't see how that can work. It is important to communicate with these customers on a weekly basis and always remind them that the door to virtual training is open and that you are eagerly awaiting your first session because you know how powerful it will be for them.
Will not convert – Once you have categorized your customers (I recommend this in an Excel spreadsheet), you can contact them and bring them to the new platform.

Regarding the fact that this is a completely new experience for you and your customer, I strongly recommend following these five guidelines for a successful online session.

1. Replicate the training environment

Make your training site similar to the environment in which you train. The fewer different things are, the more likely the customer will feel virtually at home.

For this purpose, I recommend wearing the same work clothes that you wear in one session. If you have a branded banner, place it behind you so that the customer can see it in the viewfinder. Have the same devices as tapes, iPad, and notepad ready so you can take notes that demonstrate your attention.

2. Come prepared

I would suggest programming in advance, just like you would in the regular session. Email your client the training day in advance so they know you are taking the time to think about their training beforehand.

It's also a good time to ask questions and make adjustments so that sailing goes smoothly at the start of the session.

3. Eye contact is everything

During a virtual session, your customers continuously refer to the screen for advice, pointers, and repetitions. So it is crucial that you pay attention when looking up. Fight the urge to keep your phone handy and scroll through Instagram or Twitter.

This time is your hour, treat it as such. If you use your phone, tell us why, d. H. "I'll use my timer for your rest time." In this way, the customer understands that this is for a reason.

4. Test your connection

Make sure your WiFi connection is strong. Sitting near your router makes a big difference in connectivity, as many homes have bandwidth issues due to the high concentration of people working from home.

I also recommend turning off WiFi on your phone and letting your customers do the same. If you communicate this in advance, the customer will be shown that this is not your first online training, which will further validate the medium.

5. Plan additional time

If a typical session starts and ends on the hour, I would recommend starting and ending 5-10 minutes earlier. This time enables troubleshooting and communication problems.

Your customers will also appreciate the willingness to stay with them to ensure they have a positive experience.

Integrate virtual training into regular business

We do our job best when we can be physically one on one with the individual. This method works best in an environment with the necessary equipment, and this makes me believe that virtual training will not replace one-to-one lessons for a long time.

For customers who travel frequently, however, virtual training can be the X factor in their habit management. If you bring your customers up to date now, you will strengthen your business if they cannot physically get to the gym.

This virtual training also gives us time as a trainer. Imagine going to Bali and while you are there you can virtually train customers, keep them up to date and put income in your pocket.

Trainers on vacation have not earned any income for decades. One hour of lost sales if a session is not run. Virtual training has the potential to diversify our income and attract a distant clientele that we otherwise would not have access to.

There is no better time than now to offer a customer a free virtual workout and speed up the return to the gym.

Training During COVID-19: The Quarantine Machine

April 15, 2020
Posted by Samson

As we all try to figure out how to cope in these difficult times of closure and social distance, we seem to have this strange mix of a lot of time to train, but a lack of options to use them.

The challenges of training from home (minimal equipment and space are the main problems) have made it really difficult to develop strength training options that can at least maintain or potentially develop the power production and neuronal drive required for athletes.

If this situation finally resolves and we can get back into the competition, those who have been consistently exposed to this type of stimulus will have a dramatic performance advantage over those who have not.

One of the best solutions for this is a setup and program that uses certain variations of isometry.

Isometric contractions can be performed safely with minimal equipment so that we no longer have to overwhelm Rogue / Amazon with orders or our wallet with large purchases. You can also work in a small space, which means that stuck in a garage or even a living room doesn't have to be a big obstacle.

Training during COVID-19: The quarantine machine - fitness, strength and condition, training at home, sore muscles, competitive sports, DIY, home gym, training at home, isometric handles

Some time ago I came across the above structure from Ross Enamait of Ross Training, a super creative guy and great innovator in the strength and conditioning world.

As we continued to recognize the situation that many people would face in the foreseeable future, I began to see the potential value that this facility could bring.

By providing options for isometric contractions that can be done with minimal equipment and space, we can offer options for people who are still under some force while waiting for things to be over.

The setup can also be easily expanded, as I'll show below, to provide many more training options. In addition to the numerous isometric options, we can also do dynamic tape work, power work with tapes, vertical and horizontal pulling of the upper body and vertical and horizontal pressing of the upper body.

We not only offer people the opportunity to regain access to strength work, we also dramatically expand their training options overall to avoid things becoming too monotonous.

The isometric furnishings

Training during COVID-19: The quarantine machine - fitness, strength and condition, training at home, sore muscles, competitive sports, DIY, home gym, training at home, isometric handles

Plywood – 48 "x 36" (This can be really any size, just make sure you have enough surface to get good squat / press positions.)
4 Stück pieces 4×4, halved
2 pieces of chain, mine are each about 6 inches long
Steel tube (I have a 1 inch diameter here so it mimics a 28.5mm barbell.)
Carabiner x 2-4
2-inch eyebolts x 4-6 (you really only need 2 at first, but the add-ons need additional ones.)
4 ”deck screws (I only used 8 in total.)

Total cost: approximately $ 75.

The basic construction of the isometric structure

I'm as far away from a handyman as anyone can get, and yet it took me a total of 15 minutes to put this project together.

Find out how far the 4×4 parts should be approximately apart by crouching regularly and then placing the 4×4 parts on each side outside of your feet. You can then place the plywood on top of the parts and center it as best as possible and then use your deck screws to secure the plywood to the top.

Then flip it over and screw the eye bolts into the center of the 4×4 pieces (I pre-drilled some holes to make this a little easier). Connect the chain with the quick couplings with the eyebolts. Use the carabiners to adjust the length of the chain.

I chose to use the steel tubing to attach to the chains compared to Ross' build where he had the playground handles mainly because I wanted to make sure there were options for front / rear rack isometrics too , not just to hold hands, but you can do both if you want.

Overcome isometry

There are several types of isometric contractions: isolated versus complex, endurance versus explosive, overcoming versus yielding. All of these have specific methods and goals. Our settings above are mainly used to equip us to overcome isometrics.

Overcoming isometrics occurs when the athlete creates force to overcome an external force. This is an almost maximum or maximum effort, which means that as much tension as possible is created for a short time.

For our purposes at a time when most of us do not have access to conventional power equipment, we can use these contractions with maximum effort to achieve a strong stimulus and maintain a higher level of neuronal drive.

If we can include these sessions 2-3 times a week, our strength and strength production will be much less likely to decrease when it's time to return to normal training.

Some examples of how to overcome isometrics with hinges, squats and pressing patterns. A great advantage of using chains and connectors is that we can easily vary the positions and heights at which we perform the isometric contractions. We can quickly switch from isometric pulls to isometric squats and adjust the height with the carabiners as needed.

Tips for implementing isometrics

Here are some quick tips for programming and performing isometrics at home without going into too much science and nuance.

Think about the joint angles at which you want to improve your power generation ability and try to replicate them as closely as possible. Strength gains are usually fairly specific to the trained angle (+/- 15 degrees), although this can be somewhat minimized if you put the muscle in an elongated state (i.e., performs an isometric contraction on a muscle in an elongated state) much greater power transmission to other joint movement areas).

When working on strength training, place the contraction around your usual sticking point. If you are working on a dynamic lift, approach the point of maximum acceleration. Alternatively, you can find a position that is weak / unstable for you and attack it to build better strength and control.

If you make a maximum effort to overcome the isometry (like the one shown above, in which the athlete is bumping hard against a stationary object), take 1-2 seconds to reach your maximum force contraction and hold it then pressed for the duration of your repeat take 1-2 seconds to shutdown. Don't just hit the resistance, this can affect both position and balance and you lose the advantage.

After you've completed your isometric overcome, do a few repetitions of your target movement pattern to "lubricate" the groove of power production in the pattern that directly affects your athletic performance.

Banded add-ons

If we move away from the isometry, there are some additional options that we have by including some bands for those who have access to them. When I put this together, I noticed the similarities to other minimal products on the banded hipbuttons market.

By attaching a few extra eyebolts to the sides of the 4×4 parts, you can create a simple station to perform band-resistant hipbuttons, and it's easy enough to change the height and appeal of them by walking off the floor or your upper back put on a bench / chair / couch.

Training during COVID-19: The quarantine machine - fitness, strength and condition, training at home, sore muscles, competitive sports, DIY, home gym, training at home, isometric keeps "class =" imagecache-full_width "src =" https: // cdn2.omidoo.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/full_width/images/bydate/202004/hipthrustqurantineworkout.png

The same ribbon setup can also be used for banded glute marches. Using the chains and carabiners, we can make a belt attachment that the strap can hook on.

We can also do banded pushups, banded overhead presses, band-resistant squats, band-resistant pulls, etc. The options increase very quickly with the addition of some tapes.

Additional isometric setup add-ons

Another addition that has been planned but not yet implemented is the use of a PVC pipe to attach it to all-wheel drive vehicles and to create some tall parallel bars. These can be used for horizontal pulling, vertical pulling, diving / support handles and L-Sit variations.

I will either update this form or my social media posts to include details after we add them. I hope that we can find a cheap, simple and effective facility Anyone with access to a hardware store can build up their training opportunities and improve them immediately.
