TweetMost of the ones I've come across are your "crossfit" type people. They usually work on practical lifts more then aesthetics.

TweetA strength and conditioning coach will approach a movement as to improve some kind of function in a sport. They could care less about feeling the muscle work, working to improve its appearence asthecially in size, or the mind muscle connection we try so hard to connect with. All they care about is repetitiveness leading to it being a natural reaction. So when the time comes for that movement to be used, its a faster reaction with mich more push or pull behind it. For many of them, their frame of mind is bigger, faster, stronger. Almost similar to what BB's think, but maybe slower instead of faster.

Both have an on and off season type of training, but again the approach to keep strength optimal or improve during these seasons differ. Most strength and conditioning coaches I have met are your basic meat head, just big bastards. My strength and conditioning coach in college was dumb as rocks, but he knew anything and everything when it came to football, and sport specific lifts and techniques...
