  • Too Much of a Good Workout? Bias in Program Design and Coaching Part 1 - VFP011

    Do you have a blind spot? In fitness, we try to fix asymmetries, strengthen weaknesses, and we hate repetitive use injuries. 

    Those are all things that work into BIAS in programming. Like political or nutritional beliefs, programming biases can be uniting or divisive. 

    I talk about my training biases, from the workout level to the macrocycle level, to give you a broad overview of what to look for when you're:

    A. Choosing a coach or fitness program

    B. Cherry picking workouts onsite.
