You need to learn how to sell fast or you will have no clientele. No clientele and you cannot last as a personal trainer. Who wants to spend money on a trainer who runs hour long workouts 3x/week that have you balancing on half foam rollers with one leg while pointing your other leg in various...

I define overtraining as performing a training element or elements such as intensity, frequency, volume, specific exercises, etc. to a degree that inhibits or reverses the supercompensation process.

The Obama administration drafted the law regarding giving congress thirty days notice before making prisoner exchanges. He violated his own law. I thought he was now blaming Chuck Hagel for the PR fiasco.

The irony is that there is probably a higher chance that the kid will be molested by a teacher at school and the state forces the parents to send the kids to school.

How do you feel about cops? They open carry. I don't think you are against open carry. You probably want a select elite open carrying while it is denied to others. Concealed carry is tactically a better idea. Then the criminals do not know who is carrying and who is not. When you open...

Perhaps you should focus on what you can have instead of what you can't have. You have already proven yourself desperate enough to have your body cut into and your abdomen sawed open then reattached. If you are training hard and dieting hard, what is left for you to do? Maybe your structure...

SoCalMK6GTI should try the approach I suggest and if it causes him any pain stop. The heavy lifting is causing him pain. If the constant tension and pump oriented work is even more destructive, what alternatives does he have? You yourself have nagging injuries. Why don't you try the...

Honestly I'm not a fan of plyometrics. I think they are BS. I don't understand how exercise scientists separate the increase in stored energy and the resulting release from an increase in internal contraction energy. Even if plyometrics do increase immediate force production purely internal...

That's kind of like saying working your lower abs before upper abs will give you a beer belly. You be the judge this statement's validity.

There are probably limits to the hypertrophy any one program will provide. Your body will adapt to that program which will cause hypertrophy to cease. A multi-stimulus series will probably lead to the maximum possible hypertrophy over long spans of time. For accute results, I got good results...

I've date two women who had tummy tucks. Both were fat chicks, so they were not lean enough to see their abs even after lipo. I think the main problem you may encounter is the nerve damage the tuck does. Both women had nerve deadness in their abs. You need to strip away the fat before you...

I have a different approach than most for determining the number of sets I use for any body part. I go by the pump I am feeling. If you pay attention to your pump, you will notice that when you start feeling one, it will make the trained body part feel tight and hard. At some point after a...

Certs are tests for minimal competency. Get any NCCA recognized cert like NASM, ACE, ACSM, ISSA, or NSCA then get a quality internship or mentorship with a good trainer. Nothing beats hands-on experience.

I never had an issue with joint/tendon/ligament pain, but I gain strength very fast. At 195# I could outlift many bigger men in the gym. I loved pushing heavy weights. I am now over 40 and have changed my training philosophy to avoid any potential injuries. What I do is focus on muscle burn...

25 years old, 5' 11", 2 years of training, and only 175#? This isn't meant to be offensive, but maybe you should learn more about how to train before you start to cycle. It sounds like you are going to use anabolics as a crutch for ineffective training methods, not as an enhancement for...
