Ya bro no worries take the job and learn hands on with clients. I got my start at LA fitness and its a great way to learn. Im not required to sell at all so its awesome. Im pretty sure ballys...

Im too busy with work and my kids...i hear it over and over

If i were you....I'd start with basics. Madcows starting strenght is perfect....learn the basic compound lifts first dude. Don't over do it...theres no need for 11 sets for biceps at this phase IMO

Honestly you dont need anything....whey protein after workouts OK just because its quickly absorbing...everything else is not nearly important as WHOLE foods, 8 hours sleep, and high intensity...

IMO i wouldn't do the front delt raises. As far as sets go experiement with different numbers and see what gives the best progress.

As for the myth that you need to change exercises every other...

i was in the same position man.....do it...you wont regret it. Alcohol is toxic to the body...our liver doesnt know what to do with it...and when consumed regularly over time...your liver will being...

the volume seems excessive and unnecessary. IMO cut the exercises in half and focus on intensity over volume. If your doing bench presses of any sort the anterior delt gets alot of work from those...

Forget cutting/bulking....back to basics...EAT and lift.

Get on a starting strength training program and focus on learning your basic compound lifts. Bench/Squat/Deads/Presses ect. Focus on...

Believe what you want...you judge your progress by how sore and destroyed your muscles are the next day....I'll judge mine by the fact that I'm pressing more weight then i did a month ago.

AWESOME POST!!

The amount of weight is irrelevant. It's all about keeping perfect form...not letting momentum do the lifting, and keeping your targeted muscle under tension.

good thread idea!

One of my pet peevs is I love how everyone brags about how they are sore for days after a workout and they think because of that one factor alone they actually accomplished...

There is nothing wrong with self education man...but this is science... a book doesn't do it justice. I thought i knew A LOT about nutrition....then i stepped into a bio-chem lab and my mind was...

I always wondered if a bach. in nutrition would allow you to sit for the CSCS...glad to know they accept it.

but like i said I'm really surprised you didn't get in...I would apply to different...

I'm very surprised at this...i would think the CSCS would put you way ahead of the pack....yes a lot of emerging R.Ds are little tiny girls...the field need diversity. If you don't mind me asking...

Best advice on form i can give is to pretend your standing in front of a drill sargent. Stick your chest out and keep that same posture all the way down and back up. The bar should be close to the...

If its working for you...don't change it.

People throw around the work "intensity" yet i don't think they really understand what it means. Google mike mentzer heavy duty workouts and play them in...

Exactly...I use to work at a GNC and personally i think they're products are garbage...i would dissuade anyone from taking a weight gainer whose main ingredient is maltodextrin with 80 grams of...

Volume and intensity are inversely proportionate. Some guys train with a more is better mentality and others like myself train with an intensity is better mentality. Cut half the exercises out and...

that sounds really sweet dude, you have a link? id like to check that out

correct. this will put the issue to rest. The forum won't allow me to post the entire link but put this into google and it should show up athleteinme.com/ArticleView.aspx?id=264
