at my gym here in Australia we're forced to sell. well not physically, but if you want money you are.

our system is that you pay the gym a rent of $300 per week, and then everything you make...

pretty good little circuit there mate

do you get much opportunity to use it at your gym? i know at mine we've only got 1 smith and it's pretty popular, me standing there for 40mins would piss...

lol yeah gotta agree there. i know you wanna protect your endocrine system, but a set of squats won't kill your clients lol.

i generally get clients doing squats (almost all of them) to do them...

generally i've found the people that "know what they're doing" can be put into 2 groups:
* dumb bodybuilders who still train they way they used to back in the 50's and 60's, or the only education...

what do you normally provide for your clients in the way of an eating plan?

i'm not sure what the rule is in USA (or other) but here in Australia it's actually illegal to provide a "diet" for your...

$300 per week for me

other information, i do 25 sessions per week and charge $70. so it works out not too bad. much better than the usual 20% rule around Sydney

in Australia PT's generally charge minimum 60 per hour, and work about 30 hours per week. i'm charging 70, and work about 20 at the moment. 8mths into my business, currrently working at the biggest...

just out of interest, what were you doing that caused him to come over?

and secondly, he was probably also asking your age for a legal reason. i know in Australia you have to be 15 to join the...

hey mate - where is the pain? on the inside or outside of your shin? does it feel like muscle or bone?

how quickly does it occur when you're running?

have a read of my thread here. answers a...

sorry mate, but you're wrong. No i don't have an exercise science degree, but i understand the basics, and a little bit more than the basics of exercise and anatomy. I also know what the...

you're doing 5 reps for each exercise? bump that up to between 8 and 12.

secondly, do drop sets. Eg. do your max weight for 10 reps, then drop by 20%, do another 10, drop by 20% and do another...

i agree with the above, wait until you've seen a dr or physio.

alternatively, if you're not able to perform lateral movements but can perfrom shoulder flexion (lifting arms straight up) then front...

the difference is how far the weight is away from the anchor in the exercise. the longer the lever, the more stress it will take to perform the exercise.

for instance, in a pec dec, your arms are...

very basic explanation:

when you lift weights, you're breaking down the muscles. they then repair, and depending on other inputs such as food, how hard you trained, sleep etc. they will usually...

unfortuantely there was a PT at my gym doing one of these circus activities yesterday.

i try and stand up for PT's, but this one i can't explain...

Standing in the cable crossover, standing on...

9 replies and still no "there is no inner chest or outter chest!"


ok, i'll do it.


There is no inner or outer chest! the muscles run almost horizontally from the sternham to the humerus. ...

exactly right :)

and on your point about people needing personal trainers... you're right, not all people need a personal trainer, however if the trainer is anything decent, they should be able to...

what is that based on? ever spoken to a trainer and asked what their client's results are?

by the way, exercise and getting results are also based on the assumption that the trainee does the...

correct for both. i wouldn't ask a client to get on a BOSU ball just for the fun of it, you're right - they need to have a degree of strength first. unless the client can squat their own bodyweight...

Do you mean anaerobic vs. aerobic?

anaerobic when considering running generally only refers to sprinting because anaerobic means to perform without the use of oxygen. this generally only applies...
