MidWest Seminar: Intervention Lite Lite

Dan John Master RKC

We have an odd problem!!!

There is one TRUTH in the Fitness Industry!

No, not him… Well, no…

Everything Works!!! Innie and Outie

Machines Hypothermia and

Exhaustion

Everything Works! For about…Six Weeks

The “Fast” Diet Before the Last Set of Before and Afters…

I have been training since 1965

That’s a LOT of six weeks!!!

Lesson One: it’s your client’s goals, not yours!!!

Goals…it’s two things.

Goals: The Disconnect   Elite Athletes know exactly

where they are going:

  Olympics, NFL, whatever.

  Their issue is “Point A,” where they are…the “Here” side of things.

  I have spent my career here: convincing Elite athletes to do the basics, the fundamentals, to get to their goals.

  Most people know exactly where they are:

  “I’m so fat.”

  “I hate the way I feel.”

  “My husband won’t touch me.”

  Most people’s issues are “Point B.”

Elite Athletes   “Intervention”

  What are your gaps?

  Flexibility/Mobility?

  Strength Gaps!

  Technical and Support Issues.

  Literally, Where is your A?

The “Other” 99%!!!   Need to know Point B.

  NOT POINT Z!!!!

  Thanks to Leigh Peele for this great visual, by the way.

  The need is for a reasonable goal!

My wife AND the Issue!

What is your client’s goal? Health?

  Health?

  “The Optimal Interplay of the Human Organs”

  Don’t Smoke

  Wear your seatbelt

  Learn to fall (and recover)

  Technology and the Helmet

Optimal Interplay of the Human Organs.

Fitness? The ability to do a task! That’s it!!!

The Fitness Industry has “Fallen in Love” with “Tasks”

It’s a set of numbers versus…

  Six minute mile

  22 Pull ups

  100 Push Ups

  This and that and this and that and this and that and this and that and this and that and this and that and this and that and this and that and this

A set of “Patterns”

  Push

  Pull

  Hinge

  Squat

  Loaded Carry

  And, the “all Inclusive” Turkish Get Up

Remember, this was what they want:

Fit OR FAT? When we only give two options…

going to think?

Try this Idea for Training:   Think “Off” and “On”

  Proactively, go through your calendar and label up to eight to ten months a year “Off,” for those Park Bench Workouts.

  Then, “X” out those Bus Bench months.

  The mental clarity will be refreshing….

I wrote a Whole Book about Park Bench Workouts

Do the basic human movements.

Do them every workout.

Never Fail.

Hey, don’t even struggle.

It’s an Easy Read!

More on this later….

The One GREAT Lesson!

Increase your strength. Absolute Strength is the glass and

“everything” else is the liquid..

Get the biggest glass you can’t get and you can fill it with more

“stuff.”

Almost universally, it is helpful…and that is pretty good.

The role of the Strength Coach:

  Make

people stronger!!!

Is there an “easy” way to get strong?

But, most Clients want one thing: “Fat Loss”

8/21/12  

9  

The “Money Maker”

  Fat loss clients have ONE GOAL!!!

  Food Journal

  Mobility Work

  Swings

  Anything Inefficient

Keep it simple!!!   “Some” Lifting: The Basic Human Movements!

  Some Mobility…if you move well, you will move more

  Food Journals BECAUSE ALL DIETS WORK!!!

  And, an amazing one: eliminate pain as best you can. True, part of “some mobility,” but it can be more.

The World’s Fastest “Personalized” Program…

  Whatever they are not doing…Do!

  Push

  Pull

  Hinge

  Squat

  Loaded Carry

  Turkish Get Up

Goblet Squat and Farmers Walk

“These don’t hurt!” “What muscle does this

build?” All of them…

How to keep a client! Results!!!

“Don’t make me feel stupid!”

“You can leave after this, here

you go:”

  Do No Harm (Fat Loss…not NFL!)

  The Goal…is to keep the Goal the Goal. (Fat Loss…not NFL!) And, I blame all of us for this Sin!!!

  The Path: Steal it. (Success leaves tracks!)

Now, Have the Courage to “Do what you say you will do!!!”

For me, I will “Never Let Go!”
