what a disappointment....
first they charged me $100 bucks extra for walking in and not registering online so it cost me $900 for 3 day seminar(25hrs)
ok what the hell... I'm willing to learn and it should be worth it right?
the whole seminar was based on the 5 basic BB exercises(squat deads standing press cleans and bench press) and physics and geometry and later went on to program design based on texas method(5 x 5)
my overall impression with the whole thing was basically over-complicate what's supposed to be so simple and charge an arms and legs for it, nothing ground breaking here. at the end of seminar they offered me to register for their coaching position and I declined.
my suggestion, save your money.... and follow the program if you wanna become a bottom heavy perma bulker with small arm. being in the industry as long as I was, anyone whom suggests that ''this is the only way to squat'' is just a close minds self righteous bastard who dosnt know what he/she is talking about.:mad:

Not Cool. I went to a few into the late 90s and later. They were OK. But I think I learned more in the past 5 years on bodybuilding sights like this. And your right everyone has their expert opinion. Sorry it didn't go well.

Certainly not worth $900! Sounds like his free youtube vids vomited back up . You would think if you paid for a seminar they would give you info that ia personal and not available on the web.

That's a huge bummer. I've been bouncing back and forth between Wendler's 5/3/1 and Tate's Extended Tension Training, which are both cheap ebooks, and loving the programs.

Attendees should have been given a belt and some wraps for that kinda cash.
