I tend to be very socially awkward, especially around women. I just love to workout and talk to people about working out. Is this why I suck so bad at sales?

One other thing I want to point out... I made more money working at the mall flipping pretzels for 10 bucks an hour than I ever did using my knowledge and education in personal training for 50...

None of the people that I talked to as a trainer at LA Fitness for 5 years...or working at the mall for 4 years after that...or as a lyft/uber driver for the last few years...ever saw it the way you...

Nobody is going to spend money on training when they realize how much work and time it takes to actually get in shape. When they put all their energy into the gym, it makes them lazy and tired at...

Yes, glory and bragging rights! I want a blue ribbon and a celebratory cupcake, damnit!

Let's see you guys try to squat 405 below parallel.

Bullcrap. Let's see how you squat.

This week, I finally finished the Smolov squat routine. I hurt my shoulder a few months ago while training for an MMA fight, so I decided to do Smolov while my shoulder healed. Before the routine, I...

quick synopsis: I was training for an mma fight on October 28, but a couple weeks ago, I sprained my left AC joint on my shoulder when someone slammed me in Bjj. I tried to keep training for a week,...

Made a video all about how I did it.

When I do something like Bill Starr's 5x5, I gain about a pound per week, even if I am watching what I eat. If I'm adding weight to my bench, squat, deadlift, military, weighted pullup, etc... I gain...

My next question is, should maximal power be developed in it's own mesocycle? Separate from a maximal strength phase, or skills-focused phase?

Can anyone give me any good routines? I've seen tons of routines for maximal strength (bill starr's 5x5, west side, starting strength, etc). What about developing maximal power? Particularly,...

I have taken a break from lifting for the last few months, so I am pretty weak right. I wanted to start Bill Starr's 5x5 (Eclipse Gym's version), but I had to test my 5RM's yesterday. How soon can...

I am having trouble training this client. I have put her through basic strength training, but she said that her back is making her feel super wiped out afterwards and preventing her from feeling the...

I just got this new client who has a herniated disc. She wants to get stronger, but anything traditional such as deadlifting (even going light, like 5 reps of 40 pounds) makes her injury flare up. ...

Good morning, ladies.

My supervisor has been questioning my ability to train clients in the gym, and is afraid to give me new clients. At my location (which is a commercial chain), 90% of the...

All my clients in the last couple years have gotten EXCELLENT results. Almost all of them I put through 5x5 tell me they've gotten better results than any other trainer they've ever had. And others...

Good points.

Okay, so we all agree why the exercises I focus on are important.

But do you guys agree with my focus on strength first, and do more cardio/circuit-focused training later? Most...
