Yes, Foley and Jackson will. No doubt. But have either been under the pressure of a "pro" event? No. Neither have had to prep for such events. In the case of Foley, he only competed on the varsity team of a college yet he has a number of high level PGA tour guys coming to him. So, if you are cutting Van down because he doesn't have an Olympia caliber body and thus his advice is bad shouldn't you apply that same logic to both Jackson and Foley?
Im not trying to cut the guy down, I have nothing against him at all. Im sure hes a real good dude etc.
but
College varsity/Amateur is a step below being a Pro. Its still a high level, way better than Joe Blow weekend golfer.
I dont think Van's skillset is even close to being considered high level. Van=/= Foley, jackson etc.
Once again, just observing, not knocking him, but he has no size from the look of that picture, has torn both his lats deadlifting... something is missing. He even stated it was due to him making a mistake.
I find myself talking more shit on Van than I want to, I mean him no disrespect. Just stating facts.
I see your argument, I just dont see a real life correlation between the instructors/coaches you mentioned and van
