Will your Complete Racing Solutions work for me? Robb's research quest beg...
At the age of 14, I decided to pursue a career in BMX racing at a national level. In an attempt to improve my strength, endurance, flexibility and nutrition, I pedaled my racing red Schwinn to every book store and library within a ten mile radius of my home. I was in desperate need of resources to build the best program possible and in turn become the best racer in the country. Over the next two years, through an exhaustive search, the only information available was linked to an author selling a book, an expensive meal replacement plan, miracle drinks and/or bars or a magical protein powder that would build muscle in record time. Everyone was out to sell me something. I didn't want to buy anything. I just wanted to learn how to best get lean, build muscle and have the energy to race without tiring. In 1982, after a three year search, I had increased my personal library of resources to one book published by a professional BMX racer. Although interesting and informative, it certainly didn't provide any insight on how to improve as an athlete from the inside out. I was hungry to learn how much protein to eat to increase lean muscle tissue, how to maximize my power output, and I needed to discover the secrets of endurance.
It was at this time I completed a scientific study on a specimen of one. With two very detailed parents having set a fine example, I made the decision to record everything. I recorded each and everything I ate and the intensity and length of each workout. I also took constant measurements of my body and how it adapted, good or bad, to the exercise and nutrition I subjected it to. In a period of six months I had recorded more data and information than I had been able to locate in the books available to me in the bookstores and libraries of central Florida.
In 1990 I was granted an opportunity to travel to Colorodo Springs and visit the U.S. Olympic Training Center. There my body and abilities were tested under the supervision of several triathlon human performance coaches from around the world. Here I was able to test the data I had collected and compare it against the expertise of these coaches with countless years of education and personal experience. They were more than accommodating and not only provided me with state of the art physiological testing but allowed me to present the information I had gathered through my own research, adjusting my conclusions where necessary for optimum performance and personal athletic results. We adjusted my techniques to reduce injury and consequent pain, altered my diet to increase lean muscle and shed unwanted excess body fat, and created an effective training schedule to avoid the burn out usually associated with long term endurance training.
Because of this experience, I am now forty two years old and can still enjoy the health benefits of training and racing with my clients and now my two growing boys! Give us a try, join now!
