Dr. Michael Colgan's Power Program

[Oceano]

I was wondering if any of you are familiar with the man or his power program?

This is his book for anyone wondering what on earth I'm talking about: http://www.amazon.com/New-Power-Pro...6673403?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174796378&sr=8-1

Let me know, thanks.

I'm not gonna waste money on a book where a doctor advocates cable movements, and has "helpful tips" and no real training/programming and dieting help. Smells like bullshit.

no he don't have a program. if you maybe read some of the comments left by people that did buy the book, they even said he didn't have a full program for someone to follow, but rather tips. Not that it's a bad thing, but at least books like Practical Programing explain how and why it's important and what you need to do. Cables restrict full range of motion and potential. some people like them though, and some people don't<<<

I've got the book. He has a weights program. The people who bought the book leaving comments are talking about nutrition and other stuff.

Its a great imo. Probably the best I've seen for functional strength.

Then you obviously haven't read better books. Try Starting Strength, The Strongest Will Survive, Practical Programming, or anything else by Bill Starr and Mark Rippetoe.

I don't trust all those monster muscle books. I place health and athletic strength at the forefront of my endeavors. Moreover, I am willing to bet you haven't read Colgan's approach.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH Monster Muscle Books, thats friggin hilarious. I don't give a rats ass about some dumbass doctors "power program". I will learn power from people that HAVE POWER not morons that study stats on a little machine.

he doesn't use machines. He's a doctor because he knows through experience. people pay thousands to stay at his camps. He's also trained Leroy Burrell (110m world record holder) amongst others.

You can keep following Ron Coleman or whoever, but I'll stick with a common-sense approach. Thanks.
