Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Posted May 7, 2006 Hi ! I know Dan Fichter and Korfist apply many of DB's concepts to the athletes they are training, like Rybalka, who is currently one of the top long jumpers in the world. They seem to grasp many of the particulars of his system, and that's not easy because of the complicated terminology he uses. Ken Jakalski Lisle HS Lisle, IL Quote
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Dear , I have personally used the system myself directly under DB and under Brad Nutall, and I have had excellent results from both experiences. I have also used the system with lots of my personal clients and they have too have made impressive gains. When you look objectively at the system it is very hard to argue with it's ideals. Find what the athlete needs at the current time, implement the appropriate methods, and make sure the work load is based upon the athletes current conditioning level/capacity. There is no magic to 3 sets of 10 reps or 5 sets of 5 reps. I would suggest that you contact Brad for more information and maybe use a program he designs for a month and see what happens, I bet you'll come away impressed.

If it has, please let me know the approximate date of the discussion(s) and I'll dive back into the achieves. I haven't had any luck yet with my own, undirected searches. What I'd like to know is, is if there are any in the group who've either read and/or employed the work-out structure outlined in the INNO-SPORT publication, " The Sports Book, Best Training Ever " . I'm really not concerned with the whole soap opera surrounding the book's supposed author, DB Hammer. Whether the man (or woman) actually exists or not, runs a training facility in Germany, or is actually Jay Schroeder in disguise is of no matter to me. What I am interested in is this: are the theories sound? And, have they been tested empirically by anyone in the group? I realize this is complete Greek to those unfamiliar with Inno-Sport, DB Hammer, etc, etc. ~ however, I don't think it's appropriate for me to outline the entire " system " here, as it would be way too long a post. The bulk of the work, though, comprises a method by which an athlete might quantify muscular and CNS fatigue -- both daily and over the long haul -- so as to train just enough (with resultant super compensation) without falling into a perpetual state of overtraining (a mistake I've made continually in the past). I've tried the scheme myself, and I have to say that, for the first time in my iron game career (25-plus years) I feel like I am able to peg, consistently, that Goldilocks sweet-spot of just right -- not too much training, nor too little. I'm stronger, with more energy and " spring in my stride " . I guess what I'd like to know is, is this true love, or just hot, lusty infatuation? I mean, I've been head-over-heels before -- but, I'm supposedly older and wiser now, too. In all seriousness though, if anyone has any information they'd like to share, I'd love to hear it. Specifically, have there been any studies done on predicting individual tolerances to muscular and CNS stress so as to avoid overtraining?>>> Quote
Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Hi ! Since you've worked under DB and Brad, can you dispel some of the stories/rumors about his identity and location? His book, The Best Sports Training Book Ever appears to have been printed stateside. Is his training center in Germany? Regards, Ken Jakalski Lisle HS Lisle, IL Quote
