Who needs a coach anyway?

[Patchelicious]

Pat, with all due respect , then why ask for the figures if you are not worried?

No need to answer

 

Let me hold one of these up for you.

 

[Stricker]

As I said to him, its not for me to splash his test for the public to see without his permission. If I am allowed to I will otherwise once I send the report in full to him he can then do as he wishes and if there questions I can answer if need.

Mr Wakefield,

 

I have nothing to hide and this was part of the original agreement, so you have my permission to feed the sharks..  

 

Whether 3wpkg or 4wpkg its is ...what it is

@Stricker - with all due respect, I think the R-value for a coach was initially one of your concerns. After a number of (perceived) gripes, from you, about the value of a coach, you've reached an agreement whereby you pay a certain amount per % gain achieved - nothing wrong with that if you do find a coach willing to do that.

 

In your new thread you highlight that your "coach" could have kept quiet about the low saddle height and made an extra buck or two, but he chose not to. I think you could expect this from a good coach, who charges the rate he/she does because that is part of the service provided. Word of mouth is one of the best possible selling/marketing tools, and any reputable business will let this come to the fore.

 

It's early days, as you have only started your "new venture" today, so a lot more needs to happen before you get the actual amount spent vs the original amount mentioned. Good luck, I hope you achieve what you want to - especially now that you must follow a structured plan setup by a recognised coach.

 

Disclaimer: I currently don't have the time to trawl through all the pages to get the exact details, so I'm relying on a sieve-like memory to complile this reply - I hope I got the fats right. I have been observing with very little input from my side.

Understood 100% S2S

 

Corrupt way of doing it would have been. 

 

See something wrong and not say a word, because this is the base test and everything after this will be compared to this one.

 

So keep quit about saddle height , do test and get best results under current imperfect condition, then advise me to come make another turn during start of program to dial in saddle and follow program from there.

 

Come follow up test I would then not only gain from program , but also from new position, thus showing some serious gains and based on agreement that would directly relate to RANDalas

 

Huge respect earned by doing that.

Thanks for sharing stricker. All the best with your training and goals!

[Neptune]

Mighty impressive stricker!

all this in 25 months, keep it going!

[Bankie99]

Well done stricker some really good figures.

 

Basically you are sitting on 4.5w/kg

 

What did Mr Wakefield say about possible gains to be made in the future?

 

10% realistic for him?

[Help.Me.]

I have done a Vo2max cycling test a while back. I have the info in pdf format. Is there anybody that can give me more feedback in laymans language and no i do not want to hijack this thread i will even mail my results and it can be discussed openly on this thread or a new thread. Maybe there are more peeps in the dark about this , and maybe it will get more blokes to get out off the clausette..........

Easiest gains would be to get my 14% BF to elite level of 8%, not sure how many kg that works out to be, but should increase the wpkg ,

 

Then because of my Adhok training , I only managed a 78% FTP vs PPO , with a more structured plan +-85% is possible.

 

So yes 10% + is on the cards if all goes well

In my understanding, 14% BF is 9.24Kg of your total (66Kg).

So, 8% is 5.28Kg and the loss is 3.96Kg

 

Feel free to correct me, if I got it wrong.

 

edit: excludes any gains/losses to muscle mass, water retention and other stuff that I have no idea of.

So if I get down to 8% and current power stay the same ..

 

= 5wpkg

I'm very interested in your fatigue resistance....

 

????

[pe3nguin]

Holy ship. VA. I assumed from your attitude and forum demeanour that you were in your early 20s. Society let you get into your 30s acting like a right ****? Fish sticks thats weird. You need a proper snot klap ou baas.

Nice power numbers though.

And perhaps the TTE too.
