The most common programming errors I see: ❌ Too much volume ❌ Too many exercises ❌ Random sets and reps ❌ No understanding of percentages ❌ Poor exercise selection ❌ No progression ❌ Wrong order Here's the solutions for all of them 🧵

The longer I coach and the more programs I write, the more I realise that the specific variation of an exercise that an athlete does, doesn’t really matter that much, as long as they’re consistently doing some variation of the exercises/movement patterns you deem important.

"The world is big, but industries are small. After a few years, everyone comes to know the quality of your work. Reputation matters." -James Clear

"My wish for you is that you continue. Continue to be who you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness. The effect you have on others’ lives is the highest expression of your own." - Maya Angelou

Data without context is noise. Context without data is opinion. You need both to make good decisions.

Great snippet from ALTIS newsletter: “If you’re early in your career and can’t draw from 20 years of coaching, lean into the skills you do have. Communicate clearly. Ask better questions. Stay late. Deliver something useful.”

“Coaching is about more than just the work an athlete does—it’s about ensuring that work leads to the right adaptations at the right time.”
