Interview Quotes

I was reading a really good article by Chris Shugart this week as he interviewed Strength Coach Chad Waterbury. I highlighted a few points Chad made that I wanted to share with you:
  • "A workout that consists of nothing but exercises that target your weaknesses would be the most boring — and beneficial — workout you'd ever do."

  • "The best fat loss training tool you'll ever find is the jump rope. So if you want to design a kick-ass fat burning workout, just put three minutes of rope jumping where those three- minute rest periods used to be."

  • "When it comes to football, the bench press maximum rep test is the most inane measure of physical prowess that I can think of. Hell, a max rep sit-up test would tell you more about the capabilities of a football player because core endurance is grossly underrated. But that test sucks, too."

  • "I learn something valuable from every article I read. I can almost always take away a point or two that'll benefit my clients. Sometimes an article is a complete train wreck, but it helps me better explain why I do what I do."

  • "It's funny how people think they have the right to tell you how you should look."
