Twenty-five years in
I'm still on the road, which is the point
I coach wrestlers because I am one. Everything I write, I'm running on the same schedule I'm asking you to run it on.
The short version
Twenty-five years in professional wrestling. Time with WWE, and currently on the AEW roster. Somewhere in the middle of that I went and got a master's in exercise science and my NASM certifications, because I got tired of watching good workers wreck themselves following advice that came from a magazine.
Workhorse Training & Nutrition came out of the same frustration. Coaches who understand physiology usually don't understand this job. People who understand this job usually aren't qualified to program for it. I wanted to be both.
What the job actually does to a body
You take bumps. You drive. You eat what's open. You sleep badly in a room you didn't pick. Then you're expected to walk through a curtain under hard light and look like a professional athlete.
A programme that ignores any of that will fail in week three. So the training assumes you'll miss sessions and be sore in places a lifter never is. The nutrition assumes you'll be eating in a car more often than a kitchen. Nothing in it depends on a perfect week, because you don't get perfect weeks.
How I coach
Small roster on purpose. I read every check-in myself and I adjust from what you actually reported, not from a schedule I set in advance. If something isn't working I'd rather change it in week two than defend it for twelve.
I'll also tell you when the answer is to do less. On this schedule that's more often than people expect.
