Blog 54 Troubled Waters
Blog 54 So in case you have been sleeping over the last week or so there seems to have been a bit of attack on a person in the fitness industry which personally I feel has gotten slightly out of control.
We all make mistakes from time to time sure, and at the same time every business man, owners, and backers behind business men want to make money, because apparently thats more important than breathing.
So social experiment, try holding your breathe for a day then try not to spend or make any money for a day. Which is easier? and more important? : p
Joking aside, I have now seen 6-7 videos of PTs (completely unknown) absolutely batter and slate “The Lean Body Coach ‘ aka Joe Wicksl into the ground. They have criticised his practises, his work ethic his beliefs and so and so on.
I think out of all I’ve seen only two have been balanced video blogs.
Now I may agree some of the stuff thats been said about the LBC of late, to be honest, the only reall thing Ive agreed with are 1/ he quite clearly lifts weights to help maintain his physique and 2/ the fact that individuals dont get their macro breakdown until the end of their cycles sucks (if that is true)
but
I tell you what I will give him credit for. His fucking hard work and persistence and more importantly than all of that is the fact he has probably got more bloody people moving than these PT;s have had hot dinners!
So the reason why these videos are hitting the web at the moment are the following:
The individuals posting are able to use hashtags like lean body coach etc abc lean in 15 in order to get a bigger audience to their blogs/videos and sites. Good strategy but dick move.
Smart business men and women are going to be able to potentially make a huge quick buck or two by doing this, because lets face it, whose done a particular training plan, or hired a coach in their life and been unhappy with the said plan or results they have got? Hands up.. Whose then been angry at said plan or Coach for lack or results? Chances are the people at fault our us the individuals. I know I’ve been at fault. Ive not had the relevant knowledge or understanding. Where as I should have. I should have learnt and understood and paid attention to what I had pay for etc
This post kinda ties into my posts about minding your own damn business and working hard. No I dont like to see people made a fool of or have money robbed from them of course not. But I do expect people who willingly purchase these plans to make the fucking effort to understand all the education and stuff behind them.
Thats like me saying I want to be good at squatting but I don’t want to squat or I want to lose weight but not track. At the end of the day its really not hard to grab something off a shelf at a shop, open my fitness pal and scan the bloody barcode.
If your not sure of what calories you need, feel free to hit my site www.strengthcoachcardiff.com and use the calculator. **read the notices there** then jobs a good un. You can set the calories you want, try it and see how you get on.
Anyway, my stance on the whole thing (and no you won’t see a hashtag plea for joe wicks to read this or a hashtag so i can jump on his audience, why simple – I’m not a dick!) and theres more than one way to skin a cat. In the same instance it also makes us all in the industry look hugely unprofessional.
O and I still believe he has got more people moving than most on a mass scale.
This industry needs to be so much more transparent with information and results and progress. The information been sent out should be monitored and in some cases vetted, but hey, I’m still trying to figure out whether i can hold my breathe and make money at the same time from above.
Ps. just waiting for the comments now stating I love Joe Wicks and I’m some sort of disciple. Next post OPINIONS lol
