Idiots guide to FaCT

[MattI]

Hi,

Can someone please explain, in simple layman's terms, what this FaCT system is, how it works and what are the advantages over other training methods.
If someone could do this without recourse to either Swenglish or copying and pasting vast tracts of text from some obscure forum/web site, I'd be most grateful.

thanks

FaCT philosophy :-

1) understand phsyiology
2) use proven testing to help identify weaknesses
3) develop training that specifically addresses the weakness
4) retest to measure progress and effectiveness of the program
5) share the ideas with others

The talk of LBP-10, 20 etc....is Juerg's own ideas and has nothing to do with the FaCT test which stands for Feldmann & Cheblek Test (now Trend).

If you start to use Juerg's own personal ideas the talk of structural training and functional training terms pop up.

FaCT was never sold to me as a better system I was bought into the idea as I wanted to learn more about how my body fucntions after spending 7 years using a powermeter.

I now have another tool at my disposal.

Toks,

I appreciate that you disagree with Rob's opinions, but I think that a personal attack is out of order.

Harsh Toks, and you've done your fair share of pasting in the past. Play nicely .

I think it's just high time that people here who haven't actually physically met did so - either on a ride or behind a pint. The forums can be a weird place, and if I hadn't
known them personally prior to that, some of the stuff - both Toks and Rob - have written in various posts could make either of them sound to me like a bit of a . I'm sure those that know them too would agree it's not the case.

Toks- I think the ball stands in your camp in that respect mate

[Robh]

Toks,

I have to be brave everytime I answer/post a post these days as I have you personally attacking me all the time now. I'm sorry but a smiley face after one of your posts to me doesn't diffuse the situation.

I took 2 courses in lactate testing not in physiology and have told everyone on this forum I'm learning. I am thick skinned enough to ignore you blatant attacks but there will become a point when I will take it personally.

For now I will laugh it off but I hope the moderators will nip it in the bud before you get out of control.

Have a good season.

All the best Rob

Yes Toks, you get to your room where you can stay and think about what you've done. When your sorry you can come back downstairs and sit quietly with the grown ups untill you learn how to behave in a proper manner. Oh and no going out to play on your bike either.
