James,
First, thank you for recommending Joe Grachen for my graduate assistant position. He is doing a great job for me and has taught me a lot about the block training process and expanded my knowledge a lot in such a short period of time. So that is a great testiment to the work you do with your interns.
In your new dvd you talk about doing a block of alactic power work followed by a block for alactic capacity. Within that context would the alactic capacity block be considered your transmutation block for alactic abilities? I am still trying to wrap my mind around the concepts/terminology of block training. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the message Jeff. X and I don't automatically back our interns regarding job recommendations.
We run a 'do it yourself' program with our interns as they are tasked with minimal assignments. They get out what they put it.
Joe was always critically minded and as a result his knowledge and practice base increased rapidly, along with his own physical preparation, while he was with us.
Great to know, though I'm not surprised, that he is doing so well for you.
Regarding your question, I appreciate the way in which you are attempting to think it through; however, I must caution you against attempting to rationalize all training structures via Issurin's block model.
Accumulation- Transmutation- Realization are terms that are rationalized by Issurin in his model.
what I present in my lecture, regarding the block structure I created for my skill players, is not based on Issurin's model per se; but rather more of an aggregate of Verkhoshansky's Block principles, Bondarchuk's training means classification, Charlie Francis' vertical integration, and most importantly, my own ideas regarding how the scientific and evidence based results that work optimally with American footballers in this collegiate framework.
I would encourage you to listen in on the interview that I am participating in on Nov 13 with the Iron Radio men as this topic is likely to be covered.
