I just got back from Halmstadt in Sweden yesterday night. The seminar was good. We trained 2x/day and for a resonable fee, the Eleiko Sports Center where the course was held even provided good quality food. Wonderful and I actually gained 3kg of muscle in a week (1kg was probably fat and water retention). As you can see, hard training + quality food + a lower stress environment means bigger muscles!
There was a variety of people at the course, from a Canadian Naturopath, a very fit Swedish chiropractor lady, a norwegian weightlifter, a Hungarian track and field coach and even the owner of Poliquin’s Chicago franchise.
The main areas of knowledge that I gained or refined were…
- How to select reps and sets for different sports according to an athletes needs
- How to improve my program design for rehabbing injured shoulders back to full health
- How to choose tests of performance for different events or sports
- How and when to integrate advanced training methods into a program
- When to focus on different aspects of physical preparation (when to focus on fat loss, or size, or strength)
Overall this course really clarifies the finer aspects of program design and I feel even more confident that a program I design for one of my atheltes or personal training clients will be what is best for him or her.
Here are some pictures of life and training in Sweden.
