NFL and College programs using HIT

January 10, 2008

Well, and people from certain pro teams in Denver used to sneak off to Mel's

house to get better training too...<grin>. You'd be surprised how many people

are NOT following what their coaches give them for strength programs or training

protocols, after all, their careers depend on this! I met some of those

athletes and I can say that Mel worked them very hard and trained them for

strength!

The official " story " from a team may not truly cover what the athletes are

doing. The coach on the field is more interested in performance rather than

compliance with an official story lol...and if they're really getting success

from something, it's more likely they'd NOT put out a story for the media....any

true edge is under the cover!

***************************

A second thought on the HIT comment towards athletics... Why is it

that over a dozen NFL teams and D1 college programs are still using

it provided it is such a fallacy as described in this forum?

***************************

The fact that some NFL teams and D1 programs use HIT is not evidence

that single sets are just as effective as multiple sets. In fact,

the number of teams using any type of training system is irrelevant.

A training program's popularity is not, by itself, evidence of its

effectiveness. To claim otherwise is to commit the argumentum ad

populum (appeal to popularity) fallacy.
