Yeah, that's basically what I try to do. I squeeze my glutes and push them forward, but I think it's from concentrating too hard on full body tension throughout the squat.
thanks man haha. i have to wait till i get the official approval, which should come this thursday, and then i can tell gyms i'm certified.MISC STRENGTH CREW

I actually got the NCCPT because it was a LivingSocial deal and it's accepted by a lot of gyms in my area. I really got it just to get my foot in the door in the world of personal training, and to possibly look for a job doing it while I'm looking for another technical writing/proofreading position.
But NCCPT is NCCA accredited. It also borrows heavily from ISSA, ACE, and NSCA. I mean there were a lot of study materials and videos to watch and study with, covering professionalism, Exercise Application, Exercise Physiology, Health Assessments, Kinesiology, and Nutrition. But I would like to get a NSCA CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists) certification down the road, which would run close to $500. But for the price I paid for the NCCPT certification deal, it was great. I paid $148 for access to their website, study guide, videos, one exam voucher and 2 retake vouchers. A lot of the information I studied will absolutely have a carry over, so in my opinion it's not a waste of a cert.MISC STRENGTH CREW

Thanks for the info bro!
I'm the same way, there is a huge niche in my area for me to do personal training on the side and perhaps start my own studio here. So a cert will be something I want to have in the future.
So which certification is more "accredited" meaning someone ask what cert I have they will be like. Notbad.jpg

The CSCS is through NSCA, I would say that is more impressive. You have to have bachelor's degree to get that. Or you could go with their standard personal training ceritification NSCA-CPT which is cheaper. There's also NASM which is the National Academy of Sports Medicine. NASM and NSCA seem to get the most respect amongst athletic trainers.
NASM right now has a free 14 day trial of their web course.
http://shop.nasm.org/p-8249-14-day-t...ourse-web.aspx
They also have payment plans which eases the burdens. I have a bunch of training manuals and study guides I've "acquired" on the web if you'd want me to send them to you.
Thanks! I think now that I've sort of fixed my issues with squatting form, my lowerback is responding better to pulling. Yeah I i was kinda upset, but then again it was a stretch to go for another set of 160, which felt heavy to begin with
Scott has a great log (ok, calm down perverts).

The BTN Snatch presses I go all the way down. Those I would be careful with, as they can make your shoulder feel funky if it's not a good day. They are supposed to be really good at strengthening the shoulder girdle as a whole though. I would start with the bar to get used to it.MISC STRENGTH CREW

They're ok, i just thought i'd throw them in for something different. but i don't think it's good for anything other than tiring yourself out. doubt i could get anything really accomplished with them. i'd be better off doing regular power cleans, but my wrist is still hurting.

I got it up to my forehead but lost speed. going to switch up all my exercises next month for variety, see if that helps.
thanks Audie! I thought it would be a good variation to start with. Probably better for me to do in-season, since our first game is this saturday.MISC STRENGTH CREW
