I hate my job sometimes and want to get into another field

[BC02]

because having a chance to work with athletes is not as common and easy to get hired for. Most football coaches in fact get to choose their strength coaches a lot of places. Becoming a personal trainer in a gym is basicall a guarantee of some amount of income and is about as hard as masturbating to porn after taking a viagra

and to the guy that said having a "masters in exercise science doesn't make you more qualified than someone with a cpt" uhhh yea it does lol

agreed

[BC02]

i want to see that guy squat 405 18 times....

Thats horse-**** for a guy that weighs under 191 lbs. Repping out over twice your body weight 18 times..

Post vids

hes not going to post a vid because he cant do it. Id be impressed to see him squat 400 even. Do you really think that if he could do that that he wouldnt have his clients squat?

Try reading - I have all my baseball players squat. Like I previously stated.

If I'm working with a 45 year old mom I don't necessarily include a "traditional squat" in her workout. Your life is an epic fail.

Yeah prolly not.

Dude being dishonest about your lifts is pretty sad.

squatting 405 18 times when you only weigh 191 lbs? Did you go into the guiness world record books? cmon now

Interesting topic here. Sorry I'm too lazy to add who they belong to, but these are the quotes that owned this thread and pretty much were what I was thinking throughout the entire time I was reading:


You don't sound happy, so don't do it. Sounds like you're kinda angry you took this route and no one appreciates it because it's so complicated.

In any case, we live in a world where people want instant results. Most people who come for training do not want to spend time working on every imbalance they have in their body. They could care less to do the perfect squat. It might be interesting to some, but not many.

KyleAaron, you have once again dominated the thread with excellent points

Why don't you become a Sports Physical Therapist where it is entirely about the science and how things work.

the traditional squat isnt important for someone starting to lose bone strength? News to me

[Smoko]

Yeah prolly not.

Guiness world records? Is this a serious statement. You're acting like its ridiculous. I suppose if I only squatted 335 I guess I'd be more inclined to be impressed?

yeah Ive only been working out for 8 weeks, its been over 6 months since the last time Ive worked out consistantly because i ended up becoming ill.

at least im honest about my lifts and I show them proudly as I progress....

You on the other hand claim to squat over twice your body weight 18 reps........ full of ****

[Rap_Rocky]

And as far as the other topic thats thread jacking - Idk if he can do it or not, but it would be impressive if true. I got about 10lbs on you and can do about half the weight you're talking about for 18reps.

Why don't you focus less on me and more on what the topic of this thread is about...

If you want to start a thread about whether or not 405 is impressive make one. I have a pretty fair idea that a lot of people on this board would agree it's nothing special.

405 isnt anything super impressive no.... but doing it 18 times is..... which is where you lied.

im not doubting u can squat 405. im doubting u can do it even close to 18 times.

you're obsessive and strange.

and u lie to boost your ego

Dude point out where I lied. Go through all these posts and point out where I lied. I never once said i COULD squat 405 x 18. My 1 rm is 575. I squatted 405 for sets of ten in the past. I said based on that I believe I could squat 405 x 18.

Just Youtube 405 x 20 and there are about 30+ videos of guys doing it. It must not be that ****ing amazing.

Thats my final words on the squating 405 x 18 topic that was irrelevantly brought up much earlier in the post before hijacking.

yeah 10 18 whats the difference right?

[BigDFan24]

yeah 10 18 whats the differeence right?

yeah its only about double that aint nothin'....

[BC02]

i don't get your point here, but i'm positive right now i could squat 405x18 but i don't see what how much i can squat has to do with me telling you that you need core work?

here you go buddy. You said it

[BC02]

yeah its only about double that aint nothin'....

yeah if i can deadlift 440, hell how hard could 600 be? If i can dead 440 should be no prob getting up 600

[BC02]

Yeah ive benched 230 10 times, should be able to do it 18x no problem.

[Smoko]

That isn't even the same thing. The comment is about reps not weight. You're not very smart at all.

http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...+20+squat&aq=f

ten videos on the first page alone.

Both of you need to get over it because you're both pathetic.

[Smoko]

nice math.

[BigDFan24]

nice math.

i said its "about double" the ammount of reps....

10 + 8 = 18 tadaaaa

18 is close to doing twice as many as 10 would be....

Don't lose any sleep over this thread. I won't be replying to you or your pal after this post.

Cheers and good luck with all your future endeavors. God bless both of you.

whats you 40 time? 3.9?

[NorthTexasBB]

leave the field OP, its obvious you dont take any joy in this type of work unless your in a certain environment. Open up your own studio and train who you want to train. I do see where your coming from though as every globo gym has their clients on the same routines regardless of goals.


With that said 95% of clients hire PT's for body comp changes and you can produce pretty good results with a set of dumbbells and bodyweight movements. If your goal is athletic performance then maybe go around to local schools and offer some summer camps or something

Since you're not a pt and have no place in this forum and haven't contributed a single thing to this thread except to talk smack on an off topic tangent, how about you get outta and go back to the misc kid?

True wisdom is knowing that there is tons out there that you don't know, and you will never know everything, and having the humility to admit it. OP should tattoo that to his forehead to remind himself daily. As someone in the thread previously stated, you aren't that tight. Get over yourself. If you hate the profession so much, here's a simple solution: GET THE **** OUT.

Man, I have been handing out negs like candy on this thread, lol. Some of you people think your **** don't stink and I have to say you're wrong.

I'd like to see a video of you squatting 575 too.
