BCAA's will help a ton. If you protein does not provide a lot of BCAA per serving, mainly luceine, then i would get a BCAA supplement to take before and post workout. Make sure you are eating enough,...

Seated calve raises work the Soleus(smaller calve muscle, used in walking), Standing calve raises work the Gastrocnemius (big portion on calve muscle) Achiles tendon is not a muscle.... TA (tibialis...

I am thinking the same thing, mainly because of the CEU's earned to take the CPT. Cost is around $285 and you receive 3.0 CEUs which may be cheaper than getting individual CEUs through the website....

Get the CSCS. It sets you ahead of many others, opens up opportunities for the future, and gets you in the door at most places. Plus it doesn't cost too much more than the CPT. You have a degree that...

Knowing the physiological reasoning and adaptations that take place in the body...

This is a really good point about the CSCS. One way to combat this is get the NASM-CES. Easy to get and does not require CEU's to maintain

For college or higher, Definitely, high schools and lower, maybe not, depending on experience level with strength and conditioning and the specific sport you'll be involved in.
