As I said in an earlier post, I have moved away from a "one size fits all" method, as started looking inward on what aspects bothered me about that approach. First you can only "scale" a workout to any particular level. A ring handstand push up can only be brought down so much before you change the specific demands of the program entirely. I have recently read and watched several interviews a number of athletes that have championed a "one size fits all" method to train athletes at their facilities. When asked about their own training, they now talk about "working on your weaknesses" and such. This points toward individualization for yourself, while still selling the "single system" to their clients, very peculiar?
Working on weaknesses would point toward individualized programming, or at the very least a multi pronged approach, where for example, smaller, weaker athletes work a larger portion of their time on strength based movements, and larger athletes work a majority of the time on bodyweight/metabolic movements and patterns to improve their efficiency. The goal as always to produce a whole, productive athlete.
