I complain about struggling in business?? And did I read that correctly when you said you would put fighters on a "Total gym machine"? When you study your craft, what craft would that be? Because it sure as hell isn't training. Now you know why this was directed at you and "trainers" like you.
You called me out and posted this whine and bitch article and you got your answer. I obviously wouldn't know whether you're struggling in business or not but honestly I'm sick and tired of these so call "veteran trainers" complaining how us "young bucks" are taking all of their clients and being successful in a short time. Truth is that it wasn't that easy but I didn't have to toil for years because I had a business plan right from the start and I consulted not only with successful trainer but also advisers on running a successful business in general. Being a good personal trainer will only get you so far, you also have to learn time, money management, advertising, and marketing and the sooner you get that right the less time trainers will be "sweating and toiling".
Now as far as Tito is concerned, I wasn't going to say anything but since you decided to insult my training business, I will tell you that you're going to get his ass kicked with your routines. Yes I would put his ass on a Total Gym 26000 machine and have him do rapid punch chest presses to give him more knockout power and speed up his jab and plenty of core exercises to strengthen his abdominals so that he can absorb more punishment when he gets hit in the lower region. In addition, I would literally put his ass to the wall in cardio training so his legs won't turn to rubber as the match wears on and I'd make him do it with a mouthpiece so he can do it with the same amount of oxygen capacity as he would have in a match as I noticed that when he was flipping tires, he didn't have one in his mouth.
My time with Tito would only be about 45 minutes and then I would refer him to his boxing and grappling coaches for the remainer of the day. He not going to be pushing cars or flipping tires in the ring, he's going to be fighting so his time and energy should be focused on a regimen specifically on fighting not training to be a strongman. I train a fighter to be a fighter, not anything else
If he actually manages to win the fight which I doubt at this point, it won't be from doing farmer's walks or lifting Atlas Stones.
But to conclude, don't call me out Joe because you don't know jack shit about me. And yes, I would put a fighter on a Total Gym because it does work. Go tell Kenny Florian his routine is a joke. He's been using that machine himself and for his Jujitsu studio with spectacular results. Don't knock my methods and I won't knock yours Coach. Show some respect for other personal trainers
