Ariza seemed like a big advocate of stability exercises/planks, plyometrics and stretching.

Heredia was more into building strength and power it seemed.

Victor Conte seems like a big advocate of elevation type training and restricting oxygen while working out and including excess oxygen in recovery. Conte is also more dependent on supplementation like ZMAs.

All 3 use a lot of HIIT for endurance.

Who do you think is the best Strength and conditioning coach among Victor Conte (SNAC), Alex Ariza and Angel (Memo) Heredia?

Notable fighters worked with

Alex Ariza
Manny Pacquiao, Amir Khan, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Jose Benavidez, David Benavidez, Marcos Maidana, Mikey Garcia, Brandon Rios, Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Angel Heredia
Badou Jack, Juan Manuel Marquez, Jorge Arce, Jean Pascal, Felix Veredjo, Yordenis Ugas

Victor Conte
Shawn Porter, Andre Ward, Caleb Plant, Demetrius Andrade, Danny Jacobs, Devin Haney, Andre Berto, Josesito Lopez, Julian Williams

What about Mackie Shilstone???
Worked with Michael Spinks when he beat Holmes and Jones when he beat Ruiz. Has worked with countless athletes from all sports, currently Serena Williams strength coach. Unbelievably knowledgeable and intelligent but also incredibly philosophical and tactical in his approaches. Also one of the few strength coaches who hasn�t been busted in a steroid ring... unlike Conte and Heredia. I�m sure Arizas shakes got more than protein to.

Gotta go with the the guy who has the answer key for VADA testing.

I don't know who's the best, but we need to consider the guy that helped Cotto while he was with Roach. He's based in California and I think his name is Gavin. I really think Cotto showed improved conditioning under him.
