Hi everyone I am looking to launch a specialized fitness studio in Spain and I am looking for an elite-level personal trainer to be a business partner (by elite I mean a proven track record working with athletes, models, etc). I know of course there are plenty of amazing PT's who are...

Here was a great question from an ISSA SnC assignment I did. Figured this would be the best place for it. Describe the physiological adaptations that occur when an athletes trains for 2-weeks in the heat. In the first week the body makes several adjustments that result in lower heart rate...

Hello all, I've been certified since December and worked at a gym as a personal trainer for 4 months and although I loved working with the clients, I didn't care for working for the gym. They want you put in all the work on finding clients, memorizing a script to lure them in and then take 80%...

Hi guys! I am new here. I am a 17 year old lifter/powerlifter, learning olympic lifts. I have overcame an eating disorder through lifting, and now do not count calories. I eat VERY healthy. I just eat ALOT! I try to only eat when I am hungry (which is always lol.) I lift heavy 4-5x/week, and...

Welcome to my new series about the workouts So let's begin : We all love to bitch about our gyms. They don’t have enough benches, the machines are always broken, and so on. It’s only when we’re forced to train at home or in a hotel that we realize what a luxury even the most average commercial...

First and foremost thanks for the guidance so far. My question is this,how do you guys recover on test. Are the recovery benefits so profound that you can train giving your ALL and then feel fresh enough to do it all over again the next day; Could I RUN MYSELF INTO THE GROUND with sprints and...

i read an article online that high volume on board presses and in a bench shirt os only recommended for pro and advanced lifters and that "intermediate drug free lifters" will not make gains with high volume. to anyones knowledge for powerlifting is working in the 3 to 5 rep range for high...

Hello, I'm 20 years old and have always wanted to gain a more fit body. I've never really been "out of shape" or lacking in muscle to badly but I've never had mass, so I am going to pursuit it strongly now. I just have a few questions before I start. I don't have a whole lot of equipment, but...

"The muscle building process happens when we rest, not while we are working out." We as competitors and elite athletes know that improving fitness and body shape requires more than just "regular workouts". For one to excel in their sport progressive increases in training and dietary...

So today I trained my first client! The mixture of excitement and nervousness converged into a very energetic and quick witted self (pretty much I was on my A game), therefore the training went really well! You couldn't ask for a much more challenging first client (or so I thought). He is 55...

Ok, so I've been here before, Bill Starr's 5x5, stuck at week 6 for 2-3 weeks, intense cardio, CKD diet, and.... my body starts to fail me. I begin getting tired, my legs feel like sharp needles are shooting into them, muscles begin to tighten up, upper back pain... I'm working at a gym now and...
