Googling Professor Ronald Laura? Part Four

Another extended comment has arrived on my first post on Professor Laura:

Quoth Anonymous:

Do the words "baffle with bulls#*t" ring much truer when talking about Ron Laura.

I have a Masters degree in Exercise Science and have worked all over the globe in professional sport and also competed at a very high level in a strength and power sport and feel that regarding Professor Laura's words on Health and Fitness are just that, words. Professor Laura is somewhat of a running joke in academic circles regarding his philosophies on health and fitness.

Many peer reviewed experts in this field shake their heads in disbelief when hearing of the advice professor Laura gives. I will give him one bit of credit, that is, he is a marketing genius.

No one i have come into contact with in the powerlifting, bodybuilding or the strength community has even heard of Professor Laura, areas in which he claims to have excelled in. Also if Professor Laura is such an expert in this field then why hasn't he published proven research to his claims in peer reviewed journals or spoken at conference's whereby experts in their respective fields gather to exchange ideas and debate current issues? No not Professor Laura he only preaches to the general population whereby he can get away with extravagant words and stories.

Last of all I graduated from the education faculty at the University of Newcastle and can assure you that in the four years I attended Professor Laura did not lecture in the PDHPE or secondary education department the only area I know of that he was involved in was the final year teacher research project whereby he was quite popular amongst the students as he was known to never fail anyone and always give high grades.

People like Professor Laura really upset me because I worked very hard in sport and study to get where I am today and it saddens me that there are some people out there that use technical jargon and marketing brilliance to fool the general population into forfeiting lots of money on schemes and gimmicks.

So Chris don't worry there are many, many people some in very prestigious positions in education and health that feel exactly the same as you.
