agreed. I also don't "really" know whether the client has had a history of disordered eating or not, in which case it's a terrible suggestion.

Personally, I love IF and it's made a real...

Mike,

I would just add:

You definitely don't need to memorize the normative data verbatim. However, that question that Torrte posted above comes up ALOT in different forms throughtout the test....

I am a CSCS and I have a BA in History and MA in Creative Writing. It's totally doable, though definitely more challenging, if your degree is in an unrelated field. As stated earlier, all you need to...

Relax and take your time with each question. Remove the answers you know are wrong first and then whittle to one or two. Some questions may seem daunting when you read them, but when take away the...

I agree that primarily it's a habit. This is the main thing for sure. When you're regular about training and take a long break, it's always hard to get back into it.

I would also add that having...

Kevo,

Im quitting my commercial gym job in january to do a 6 month internship at a respected performance gym in my area. My financial situation is pretty stable so it affords me some flexibility...

I may be suggesting the obvious here but have you called the NSCA and asked them these things directly?

That said you can take the NSCA exams at a local HR Block or similar secure site. Perhaps...

WRT Kyle aarons first post, I have a question:

By your rationale is the RKC kettlebell cert, created by Pavel Tsatsouline, worthless?

Is a Westside Barbell Powerlifting certification, created...

I am a CSCS and a level 1 crossfit coach. I currently work in a high end commercial gym. The crossfit certification means nothing to most gym managers. in fact, I dont even put it in my resume. It...

If a manager of a fitness club doesnt know enough about his own industry to know what a CSCS means...and actually holds the ACE in higher regard than the NSCA then why bother with that place.

Not...

There are tons of ways to get CEUs. Why would you choose to restudy and take a test youve already passed rather than learn new things, get new skills etc? Not sure which is more cost wffective but...

Rather I would say its the only sport that doesnt reward specificity. In fact specificity is punished in that sport. If you focus on one area solely and avoid say, distance running, then you will...

Actually not a single top crossfitter, except maybe lindsay valenzuela was a competitive O-lifter or powelifer. Most have backgrounds in other sports, many in gymnastics and track and field. Strength...

None the main competitors or even general elite crossfitters, say the the top 200 men and women in each region do just crossfit wods. So if you were to follow the crossfit mainsite, for example, you...

General means just that...non-specific. Before Anyone could answer this question we'd need to know the individual and their goals. Doing tons of bodyweight stuff could compromise some aspect of their...

great rip quote

When I was studying for my CSCS last year, I was amazed at how often in my textbook that phrases like "evidence seems to suggest" or "more research is needed" came up around most...

Completely agree on the volume and especially as it pertains to things like olympic lifts.

Disagree that it's entirely useless. If nothing else it has turned the gym into a true community rather...

I think your age can be a real advantage for you with clients. Most clients who can afford PT are older and will relate to you on levels they wouldnt with a young college age kid.

The only...

I have the level 1 cert, don't ask, and i completely agree thats its way too expesive. As stated earlier, its all about the quality of the coaching. There some fantastic S&C folks who do crossfit and...

If by private you mean a serious strength and conditioning gym, that specializes in athletes...the absolutely yes. The conjugate method is held in very high regard in those circles.
