More rants on "hardcore" training

I trained "hardcore" for 30+ years when I was competing in bodybuilding and powerlifting. The protocols that I see these "hardcore" trainers use is just short of a bodybuilding protocol. Take the "Westside for Skinny bastards" for example, it isn't a whole lot different that how we used to train 25-30 years ago. I see another popular "hardcore" trainer who always talks about training for hypertrophy on his site like he's the one who came up it.
All of that being said, I can tell you, if I knew then what I know now I would have taken a different route in my training. All of my "hardcore" training throughout those years has been somewhat of a detrement now. As far as I am conserned, anyone who trains athletes in that manner cuts that athletes longevity down tremendously. This is from personal experiance.

Ok guys sorry, rant over.
