My opinion -

At your age I wouldn't worry too much about cutting fat, especially if you already have visible abs. You are at a unique time in your life when your hormones are ripe for developing...

What are your goals? What would you like to get out of working together?

Truthfully, you may want to consider another option. Training is hard work and there will likely be quite a bit of off-the-clock work like prospecting for clients and programming.

Also, what will...

Gaining strength but not gaining weight? Not necessarily the worst problem to have.

It's my understanding that you needed a bachelor's in a related field until recently (2008-2012) and then the rule changed to require any bachelor's regardless of field.

From a regionally...

You might have better results purchasing all of the NSCA study materials - especially the text - and following some of the many strategies suggested by sites found through Googling "NSCA CSCS Exam...

My only thoughts would be that I don't see why you wouldn't be able to implement a 24 hr. service, but the process might be a little bit more complicated than just installing a key fob and a camera....

Thank you!

I had my first shadowing session this morning and it went very well. It was totally relaxed and natural, the coach was great about explaining things as he went along, and I felt...

Have any of you been shadowed by a new or aspiring trainer? If so, I'd appreciate very much some advice.

Tomorrow I start shadowing a trainer and his staff while not at my full time office job,...

You'll probably be better off focusing for several weeks on either building muscle or losing fat. Attempting both within a short timeframe is difficult and may result in spinning your wheels,...

Food for thought - people are always asking questions like "is it possible to be a vegan bodybuilder" but nobody ever asks "is it possible to be a meat-eating bodybuilder". If it ain't broke, don't...

FWIW, here's what I would do if I were in your shoes and wanted to get back on track ASAP -

1) I'd try to get my diet on point. Since different things work for different people, I'd probably try...

You may be "eating at a deficit" according to an online calculator or equation, but if you are not losing fat/weight then your body has likely adapted its energy expenditure such that the amount you...

I'll have to agree with these dudes. I've been that guy who freaks out at social events, brings food, or skips out on the event. In retrospect, I hate that I missed out on all the things that I...

You may need to eat some foods that you don't enjoy, especially if on a budget. The old phrase "beggars can't be choosers" was coined for a reason.

If I were you, here's what I'd be eating:

Am I understanding you correctly in that you are not confident in your ability to create workout programs for your clients?

Have you considered reaching out to gyms that are run and/or staffed by...

Have you tried frying with coconut oil, or grass-fed butter (such as Kerrygold)? I love frying with coconut oil. That's what I use pretty much anytime I cook something on the stove top. It can...

I'm interested to see how things go for you and am genuinely hopeful that you are not in the same position that I once was. I don't mean to be sarcastic when I say "good luck".

I enjoy the feeling I get from eating in this way and I enjoy that this meal takes about 2 minutes to prepare and about 10 seconds to eat. I also enjoy that if I'm hungry I have some energy on hand...
