Very strong point.
OMG. I've always been skeptical of introducing computers to measure and calibrate workouts. In fact, I'm probably older school than you, I'm one of those that strongly believed in working out with free weights, in a garage, with "Guns & Roses" blaring in the background. When you maxed out your last reps were really ugly, often one side coming up almost completely before you got the other side moving well. Horrible form on those rep's but it was the all out effort and determination that help you gain and advance quickly to even higher weights. You never gave up on a rep until you failed from near exhaustion and your workout partner would only assist when absolutely necessary to prevent the weight from crushing down on you. Machines that tell you to stop or calibrate things to ensure you never work hard enough to hurt yourself seem like a receipe for building a bunch of softies. And, based on the way our team looks...that's likely exactly where we are. I know I am likely carrying this argument further than you agree with...but it is how I've felt and back in the day I logged far more than my fair share of time lifting.
You are far more understanding of Bo than I am. I am fine with him not publicly pointing to problems on his own staff, no one would do that. But, it is quite different, if you do believe there is a problem to come out and say that there is no problem--that's flat out lying. So, I really don't think Bo gets it...like all of his other issues, he is either not smart enough to diagnose it, or he is incapable of changing it. I remember an old "report card" thread that I did on Bo years ago...each point is as valid today as it was then. Of course, back then I was roundly ridiculed for it...now it rings true to most folks, even many bolievers.
