Nah, I am not 'Bahzob' either. So anyone wanting to check out if I am 'Trev' might as well ask the admins to look for any match with his /her IP too. Don't forget to report back here with the result folks!

There can only be one winner. If you haven't got the right genes no amount of training will compensate for this.

IP is a waste of time. come on trev you're better than this. you can fake ip addresses or go through various routes to give incorrect IPs to make it look like you're somewhere else. like you can't watch certain online TV stations if you're not in the country of the TV station, so you can route things to make it look like your ip is in that country.

Sorry, but you are wrong on this one. That said, your persistence does echo what I said earlier.

For the record.

I am Trev.

I have no idea who BenderRodriduez is.

And Ric how come you know so much about fake IP addresses?

Agreed. As I said earlier...

It is also worth noting that no training program, no matter how much you pay for it, can overcome the limitations of your own physiology. Most fundamentally your VO2 max is genetically determined, and you will reach that ceiling withing a year or so of starting intensive training. Secondly, the degree to which you adapt in response to training is also genetically determined. You might have the best training program on Earth, but if you are a 'low responder' it might never produce that much of a change in your capacities.

Of course, coaching companies never say much about all those who paid for their services and remained pretty much as rubbish as they ever were.

There is also what Rolf Dobeli has called the 'Swimmer's body illusion' to take into account. Bottom line is, it is quite possible, even likely, that those who succeed after buying a coach's services do so not because of the quality of the advice they are given, but because there is something 'special' about the sort of people who would willingly pay out hundreds of pounds for advice, as compared to those who do not. Consequently, it is these qualities (perhaps a higher level of determination to succeed, an awareness, or at least belief, that they have some innate ability and could go far in the sport and so forth) that is the real reason for their progress.

it's amazing how you and trev both spout virtually identical stuff... phrased the same. the same issues.

if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck... you get my drift

There seems to be an echo in here. Following Ric Stern's 'logic', 'NapoleonD' is clearly one of his sock puppets... :roll:

How entertaining, I have just been reported for trolling.

Whoever the little coward is reveal yourself. Seems to be a standard procedure. Anyone who dares argue with the usual suspects gets called Trev, then they get reported for trolling, then they get banned by the cowardly mods.

Pathetic.

The real trolls on this forum are the trolls who persistently troll for new clients.

Well, non of the mods have contacted me (yet...), so I cannot be you, and you are also 'Trev', so I cannot be Trev either.

QED methinks!

I suggest you all stop this pointless personal retaliation. If you have issues with each other, I suggest you get over them.
