I'm a bit confused today, guy contacts me about personal training. Soon as I mention money he tells me his uncle is a strength training and conditioning coach. Now I totally respect that just don't understand how ppl claim to be a coach of something just through qualifications.

100kg guy with 200kg deadlift and 100kg bench is not very strong. So wat are these guys being taught exactly?

Anyone had any coachings on here? It's got me puzzled

I don't really get what you're getting at. Are you saying the nephew is being coached by his uncle or just on a related note that his uncle is a coach?

He's being trained by his uncle. I've come across several guys now being trained by qualified guys n they don't improve at all.......

His uncle may just be a rubbish coach. Or he could be a rubbish athlete. Or he could only have been trained for 3 weeks.

If he has a coach though, why was he contacting you? Maybe even he realises that his uncle isn't delivering Grin
