that they dont play sports, but its not their primary
objective nor is it their career. This is the Mens
Health reader or the Womens Health reader.
Then we have the performance client. Thats
your junior athlete, high school or college athlete,
professional athlete or someone who tells you
theyre extremely competitive and theyre coming
to you because they want to perform better on the
court, on the field or on the mat.
Heres a rundown of what I consider to be a
physique clientthe specifics youll find with them,
and they may or may not have previous exercise
experience. They tend to have limited training time
due to family, work and other responsibilities or
things of that nature. Sometimes theyre not exactly
sure what they want to achieve with training.
Everybody wants to look better, but sometimes
you have to pull that out of a client. They just say,
Oh, I heard you were great and you could keep
me fit. They have a general idea of what is going to
make them feel better or what is going to make their
program feel successful.
When someone says, Hey, I dont feel like Im
fit or I feel like Im weak, its a good idea to ask
them, How would you know if this program is
successful? Give me a real world example that you
cant do now, but you might be able to do six or eight
weeks from now or twelve weeks, a point when youd
think, Wow, this program is working.
Maybe they feel really weak in their back when
picking up a child. If they didnt feel weak picking
up the child, theyd know theyre getting stronger.
Maybe they get tired going up four flights of stairs
and are trying to take the stairs at work. If they
didnt get as tired going up those four flights of
stairs, they would feel like theyre stronger and more
cardiovascularly fit.
When you ask these things, it can help you
better tell whether programming will create a better
buy-in. Thats a little tip from the trenches there.
Heres more on physique clients. They may
be prepping for a specific event, not necessarily a
sporting event, but a wedding, high school or college

bodyweight exercises, the speed ladder, minihurdles, medicine ball throws, Olympic lifts if you
already have an Olympic background, 10 to 40-yard
sprints (short quick sprints), heel sprints, change
of direction drills, kettlebell swings with a really
aggressive hip-hop and speed-related exercises with
bands.
In the muscular system development section,
were going to make sure were looking at strength,
size and stability of the muscles. Thats where we
might use powerlifting exercisessquat, deadlift
and bench, bodyweight strength exercises, TRX
exercises and unilateral strength exercises. We use
unilateral and bilateral exercises because they both
work, and bodybuilding exercises that include
machines. Yes, we do use machines. Swiss ball
exercises normally without external load. With band
and cable exercises, this is where we bring in some
Pilates exercises and more core and torso exercises.
We cover everything.
The energy-system category is great for fat loss,
work capacity, power endurance and endurance.
This is toward the end of a session. We use interval
training and circuit training. Nowadays people
think everything that looks like a circuit is Cross-fit,
but people were doing Cross-fit before Cross-fit was
invented. However, that type of training would go in
the energy system development category. Just make
sure you use good form.
Aerodyne bike intervals, boxing training,
weight sled training, strong man training, kettlebell
complexes, barbell complexes, dumbbell complexes,
battling ropes, Power Max 360, which we use a lot
here at Performance University, and then some of
the functional fun circuit stuff that you see folks
like Gary Gray using and that of my friend, Bill
Sonnemaker. These are all wonderful to use. We like
to use those more at the end as part of circuits.
Then finally the fifth stage is cool-down. Some
people call it recovery region, but to us, its just cooldown. I like simple terminologies, but whatever
you call it, this is what were going to dostatic
stretching, yoga, maybe more corrective exercisetype work, meditation drills, foam roll drills and
