Oh good God, not a 5x5....

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 01:38 PM

Well not Starr's per say, just a 5x5 regime. Ive done it already so I thought of upping the sets more this time.

I remember when Cow spoke of doing a 8x3 set regime one could do on a cut with high weight and 30 sec RI. That sounds pretty fucking hard.

As far as school goes...get in...and take your required general classes..and change or declare your major next semester.

and...you can flip the living at home thing around. Tell people that your mom stays with you.

You say 8x3 and I say fuck that!

PES (performance exercise specialist) or CES (corrective exercise specialist). Both are $600.

And P doesnt think theyre worth the price, but it automatically recertifies me. Although, Id like to take the classes anyway and they take up a bulk of the re-certification process.

What I mean by it is, that with NASM, you are a ceritified trainer for 2 years. Within that 2 years you have to spend more $$ to keep the CPT. You have to obtain 2.0 credits within the 2 years to get another 2 years. Kinda shitty, but it keeps you up to date, provides extensive info that gets embedded into memory, and...well, you can get smarter than P eventually.

But what if P keeps getting smarter? Sooner or later he's gonna become omnipotent or something...

I like the look of NASM, it seems pretty good, but that re-cert thing seems slightly annoying. I guess its worth it though if the info is useful. If it stops being of use to me, i can always choose not to re-cert i suppose.

I just want to LEARN yknow? Theres gaps in what i know - big ones! - and since i want to one day be able to live off this stuff, i need to do it now while im still young and eager :P. Lol.

Thanks for the info though, man, its really appreciated

If your working in a gym most of the time they will pay for the recert anyways. So its really not a big deal.

Really?

Thats a pretty good deal. Id hate to have to pay every two years, id do it, but id write on that cheque so damned hard they wouldnt know what hit them...

Double D · 06-14-2007, 05:00 PM

A friend of mine has gotten recertified a few times and each time his gym (24 hour fitness) pays for it. They said they would pay for additional certs as well.

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 06:13 PM

Yeah well the only chian gym around here is Golds and theyre not hiring. This guy that does the hiring sounds like a real shithead. Another male trainer got denied by him and he is bigger than him too! (Just as an update, apparently this training director doesnt hire males bigger than him and it just so happens every male he has working for him is smaller and this is now 3 males that have been denied that were larger). I thought it might have been just a frustrated applicant, but its an interesting coincedense.

I tried applying at this other Hospital orientated chian, but theyre not hiring either. My gym has no clientel so theyre not hiring...and the new gym that just opened has to steal customers away from mine and Repro's so theyre not hiring.

It seems that this job is perfect for a big city on the coast. I am on the coast, but were not big yet.

Double D · 06-14-2007, 06:17 PM

Ever thought about moving? I am moving 2 hours to work in St.Louis I believe. There are tons of employment oppurtunities there!

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 06:20 PM

well if I am going back to school....

Double D · 06-14-2007, 06:22 PM

True story, but if you are going back to school to pt, then whats the point? Or have you decided on something else?

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 07:30 PM

No I dont want to go back to school for personal training. I want a degree really...and a bachelor's is better than an AA. Its always been a regret of mine.

However, I dont want to go spend my money on classes that arent going to give me shit, hence the "school" thread in Open Chat.

Double D · 06-14-2007, 07:33 PM

Yeah I know the feeling. I have 9 more credits and I could graduate, but I see no sense in it. I sure as hell dont want to teach history and thats what I went for.

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 07:36 PM

My boss said that jobs dont care what you get a degree in usually, but that you put in the time and got somethign credible.

Granted, if you have a degree that is for a job you are applying for, ok, but ill bet the degree says something about you regardless.

Then again, I know a girl with a MASTERS and is serving food at Ruby Tuesdays.

Double D · 06-14-2007, 07:36 PM

I have multiple guys I work with now who have degrees and they are working at this shit ass job making 16 bucks an hour!

AKIRA · 06-14-2007, 07:41 PM

I make 12.25 an hour, so Id love to make that.

I really gotta start saving up for this shit. I am thinking about bouncing again and I know of a place that wants me, but the cooler there is a trouble maker and could get me into trouble...hence the name troub...le

Double D · 06-14-2007, 07:55 PM

16 bucks an hour just doesnt pay my bills and by bills it includes my student loans! I pay about 350 bucks a month on student loans!!!

Mustve twisted oddly, who knows.

Squats. Slowly, but surely theyre going up. Though Id love to get some numbers here, I have to be cautious.

I wanted to do Hise's, but my traps werent sun burnt.
I wanted to do BB Shrugs, but some asshole was using the only squat rack.
I wanted to do calves, but I have shin splints from the weekend.
I wanted to get laid, but I am such a pussy.

ReproMan · 06-19-2007, 09:41 AM

Well at least squats continue to go up. Not bad after a drunken day in the sun.

AKIRA · 06-19-2007, 09:48 AM

Oh yesterday was kinda bad. I was a zombie at work. I didnt have a hangover really, which is odd for the sun draining me and the alcohol doubling it, but I took yesterday off from myself.

goob · 06-19-2007, 12:22 PM

Workout looks grand.

Alcohol in the sun..............gotta love it. And on a boat, lucky bastards.
