Only Four Certs are National Accredited...NSCA, NASM, ACSM, ACE.

If you do go for a cert, these are the ones to go for. NSCA-CPT and ACSM are both the "gold standard". However, NASM is a great...

Yeah, people do tend to box squat too high. However, this might be something to look into for increased explosion and hip extension.

Hmmm, surely there has to be some research on this...

Farzamk, if you do actually go through with this study I would love to see your findings. I like the idea and think it has some validity. The motion of a countermovement jump (a True VJ), where the...

This would be a wonderful research option for someone out there. Heck, I may do it myself. In theory, it sounds very possible. Even though I do believe the OP I would love to see some studies.

Fertleks can be good sometimes, GPP is a great idea! Honestly, if you are trying to increase your stamina, you need to run.

Kevin had a good idea...slowly increase your aerobic training while you...

Fullback made a good point (even though he hurt himself). They will not help too much. You have to look at it this way...you calves are NOT the primary mover in the jump. Stronger legs are. Stick...

I'll second what TerpMuscle said. The best bet is to have a Dr. look at it. The shoulder is a delicate joint and after dislocating it several times the stability of the joint is not very good. ...

Alright I just have to say something here.

I am working with Dr. Michael Stone...he is one of the world's best strength coaches and has worked at the US Olympic Training Facility. At ETSU we...

I have never posted in this forum before. However, I feel the need to now. Your lifts looked real good. Don't worry about where your feet are when you were catching...they were fine. I would work...

I think it looks good. How about one leg squats or lunges rather than the leg ext though?

Just my .02

Background...roughly about 225 and 15%BF. I just stopped using a normal 3 day split(push/pull/legs). I find that I like lifting more like an athlete than a bodybuilder. What I mean by that is that...

I would certainly reccommend NSCA. I take my test this upcoming Saturday. However, with that said I would also look into NASM and ACSM.

There are four certifications currently accredited by the...

I would certainly look into NSCA, ACSM, and NASM. Those three are incredible certifications. It sounds like you are very serious about this path and I applaud you for that. ISSA is a good...

Search for it over on the sports section...should be there somewhere

The three best certifications, IMO, are NSCA, ACSM, and NASM. I would look into those. As far as getting into the business...you should take a look at the gyms in your area, that is probably your...

I completely agree with you guys on this one. This guy has no idea what he is talking about.

However, when I hear someone say "PT" I think Physical Therapist, people who know the body as well as...

Byebyefat,

I would really consider checking the credentials of this trainer. I am a CPT and I never start by working someone like that. To me, a professional trainer needs to find out your info,...

Trojan Man,
I played football at Centre College. and I live here in Knoxville. Good luck this season. I graduate in 2003 and Maryville was not very goood during my four years; however, you all...

Sorry should have been more clear on the cardio. I am doing 45min on Tuesday and Thursday and then either Sat or Sun not all 4 days. But you`re right...that may be a bit too much. Esp to start...

Ok The goal is 30 lbs in roughly 3 months...if it takes longer so be it but that is my goal. I am 235lbs and approx 20%BF. (This is what I have planned, I have NOT started yet :-) )
I have...
