You push and motivate your clients as hard as you can and as hard as they can take.

		<description><![CDATA[It amazes me how coaches who should know better still insist on emphasizing the bench press in their training programs. I do understand that the bench press can be a part of an overall program &#8211; whether for sport preparation or general fitness &#8211; but in the year 2011 it is incomprehensible that some coaches [...]]]></description>

How much session time do you spend having your clients lifting weights? Are you conscious of how much lifting you do when you design your clients&#8217; sessions? Don&#8217;t let the lifting component dominate your client training sessions.
