Larry Wheels is going to train with Thor

RebeccaRoberts said:
I mean who does thor think he is? The worlds strongest man or something? Im sure his coach knows how to programme his training. Does nobody here remember the success he had last year? Im sure he failed a weight or two in those preps aswell!

Nimble said:Nice circlejerk but all this proves is even very good coaches can make slight miscalculations. No way Thor’s coach sat down with him and said, “right, three weeks out we’re going to have you fail 190 for two singles; two weeks out you’ll fail 200 for two singles; and then you can rest up before the comp.” he expected him to get those reps comfrotabuy. Almost of all of what his coach programs for him is RPE 7-8. He probably didn’t change the program because he knows Thor is still strong enough to do very well on this event and he didn’t want to knock his confidence.

How did your name get on a list with those guys? Is your ego really that substantial?

He put himself on that list because he shares the same views and his coaching methods have worked wonders for me and the clients that he coaches

Apart from yourself which of Paul's client are currently world level competitors?
And not to negate your achievements but you're involved in things which are massively more niche than even mens strongman.
Obviously, you're going to have his back but Paul putting himself in that list more than hints at a fair degree of narcissism.

Add in a healthy splash of the Dunning-Kruger effect, and several heaped spoonfuls of cognitive dissonance - and you have someone who can see no reason why he would not be mentioned in the same breath as world class strength athletes and coaches.

All evidence on this forum suggests that he finds it difficult to understand why people - regardless of their superiority in any given sphere - would not take his expert opinion as gospel.

This is why Paul can spout forth criticism, in whatever manner he sees fit: and whomsoever he has deemed worthy of his critical gaze, should listen to his Solomon like wisdom and count themselves lucky to have been under his watchful eye.

It is also why anyone who disagrees with him is a hater, or a troll.

However, give him his due, he is a great grip strength guy: a reasonable carp angler: and, until I see otherwise, very sure footed on icy footpaths.
