If your answer is the leg curl then we have problems.
I'd totally disagree. From what I've seen of the New Zealand and UK teams (as only they can be bothered recording their workouts) the team spread out into a massive labyrinth of a commercial gym and do their own thing whilst the 1-2 coaches work on individual players.
Compare that to an open plan shed where 4-5 players are taking turns using a single platform and rack.
I'll have a conversation with you Oliver, I'm not interested in an argument.
"a massive labyrinth of a commercial gym" this would not work either.

I've heard so many excuses as to why rugby players cant squat/bench/dead/press, it just gets lame sometimes.
What make you think there not doing multi joint compound movements like the above ?
It's the PlayStation generation, Markos. Hard work is a dirty word.
Oh please. Hard work is not a term in many peoples' (and generations) vocabulary. You will notice that the unfit/overweight dilemma is not limited to those of generation y.
I know you are referencing the afl boys with this post, but how many older clients has PTC had come once and then never again etc? I would wager a fair few.

Please dont limit this to AFL.
As you guys know Rory is aiming for a College Scholarship. He has interviewed with a handful of Division 1 schools.He will be playing with one of them next year.
I have been in talks with a coach from one, and Rory has had to answer questions with each one of them about his bench press.
No one has even mentioned any other lift.
So I have a dilemna, do I make Rory a better footballer or a better bencher?
Another problem I discussed with this coach is form. I explained that we are a PL gym, with competing lifters, so we all use correct form, are the numbers he's quoting to me done in correct form?
Of course he said yes. Rory keeps bombarding me with videos of college kids not touching there chests or bums way up high. They are simply inflating there numbers to get a scholarship, which is understandable.
But what should I do, prostitute myself?
Here's another funny anecdote. There is an ex NFL player who has a school for prospects. He wants Rory to go to Florida and train under him in December.
He told Rory he had to lose weight, as his BMI is 35, which makes him obese. He has never laid eyes on Rory, true story.
Max registers as overweight on the BMI, thats how f u c k e d it is, and this guy who runs a successful program still uses BMI.
I told Rory to ask the guy what kind of Dinosaur he rides, but Rory is too polite.
Dont think its just here that we have problems, they are everywhere.
Funny enough, more so since we certified all these experts, now they are all book learned, they must be correct.
I'm sure you guys have seen this ass clown before, a Strength coach, oh the shame
YouTube - high school max effort squat .wmv
I'm Gen Y, and the PlayStation generation is the ones born in the 90s, they're not Gen Y
I'm only referring to footballers. You can't compare VFL youth players with your average gym goers, some of whom visited PTC. I bet if you compare them to the young players of previous generations, they are a bunch of lazy bastards.
