GoalGetter Becomes A Weightlifter

[PreMier]

some time this summer, i'm visiting this month to scope it all out. the phoenix/mesa area... will let you know.

yeah i was not even reading journals anymore. i'm just annoyed with the site's content in general. it's primarily not really fitness-related anymore and quite honestly, an immature handful have pretty much claimed it as their little hang-out. It's not what it used to be.

You could atleast take the time to read my journal. Its all fitness shit in there

 

[Burner02]

yeah! he went to the gym, weighed in @ 200lbs and drank snapple!

[GoalGetter]

Stop it!

Iain - Thank you I'm psyched!

dg - you know who they are - it's hard to miss them since their crap has taken over! But between monday night and today, it seems to have calmed down a bit. I will call on your super powers, though, if they start it up again! By the way, I am really sorry for not responding to yoru email yet! i did get it! dont' know what's wrong with me, been letting things sit unanswered for days now...

Dale - believe me i don't use the open chat section... it's

Burner - Thanks! And the protein is All The Whey (i say so in my post), Chocolate, Pineapple, Orange Creamsicle are the three flavors.

As far as correcting a PT, i might go talk to the tainer's manager and tell him you've seen this person training a few clients and he seems to need a refresher on what good form looks like because he's doing more harm than good with his clients. If the PT manager is unresponsive and you really care, then go talk to the client as dg suggests. That's what I would do anyway.

PreMier - That's right! You did hear the accent before! And you LAUGHED at me

Just got back from Arizona.

Oh. My. God.

I'm just ITCHING to get our shit together and move there this summer.

I've found us jobs, an apartment, and started my school application process.

But enough about that - i just want to say, that Jodi was perhaps the most amazing and generous hostess I've ever had in all my travels requiring the bumming of a couch or spare bed (and food and a ride around town) from people across the United States.

I am at a loss for words when it comes to expressing my gratitude to you, Jodi!

 

[ZECH]

Damn very cool! If I was to ever make it out thay way, I would love to meet Jodi!

 

[aggies1ut]

Awesome! Hey, and congrats....see that you're now NSCA-CSCS certified. Btw, what are you studying when you go back to school?

Congrats! That sounds pretty exciting.

Yeah, Jodi is a wicked nice person... Would love to meet her in person one day

The CSCS cert can take you a long way in the training industry. It holds some water.

They make a cream for that.

Reheheheheheally?

I so want to go, but I so want to stick it out and see what kind of money I can make here.

Did they express happiness that you were a CSCS?

Don't be gay Dale. Make the move.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Don't be gay Dale. Make the move.

It's ghey, and I am being industrious.

 

[GoalGetter]

dg: yes! DAMN cool place! just beautiful, and a slower pace than nyc - for sure!

Denise: Thanks! Yep! Took the test dec. 4 last year. Going back to school for nutrition & food science. It's been a mission so far to get everything i need in order to even apply. As it stands i have to retake my GRE because i'm a dinosaur and my original GRE scores are expired (there is a 5 year limit on those). I also have to take a bunch of pre-requisites for the masters program so that i don't have to get another bachelors degree. And i have to get letters of recommendation from professors who probably don't even remember me anymore, among other things. I'll be happy if I can at least get into the community college there at this rate!

monkey: jobs - there were a few cool gigs, and a few shitty ones at franchise gyms. The jobs i'm referring to that i "found" for us were at a private personal training gym that jodi drove me to, so i could meet a guy she knows through her chiropractor. Well the guy wasn't there but a lady who she knwos was, and she is the new owner, so we all get to talking, and i hand her my resume and tell her our plans and she's all about it! So come june if all is still the same with her, we've got a job. There was one more place like that, but the guy wanted me to start now. He seemed disappointed that i wouldn't be here until june.

iain: Thank you! As for meeting jodi or any of us - perhaps one day you might! You know a bunch of us go to conferences, and meet up and stuff! Join us!

Yeah, it holds some water everywhere but World Gym! The fitness manager there, CSCS-certified herself, tells me, "that's great that you're CSCS, but we also require that you be NASM certified. so you'll have 90 days from your date of hire to get that done." I was like, "WHAT?! I don't think so. CSCS is superior to NASM, isn't there some kind of equivalency thing you can do?" And she tells me that she herself has a degree in exercise physiology or something along those lines, but that she was required to get NASM to work at world gym as well... So i just told her, "well i won't waste your time then, because i am not doing it."

Dale: all ghey-ness aside, you can go be industrious in AZ.

 

[Burner02]

At Worlds???? They must set the bar higher there than the one I used to belong to here. I saw this PT....was SO bad....I was raelly tempted to tell that client to fire her and get another PT....

Glad to hear that things are looking like they are gonna work out for ya! (just think: y'all will be that much closer and able to go to Vegas in October!)
I may be going to Phoenix sometime this spring / fall to visit friends. Forget summer...I like warm..not HOT...had enough of that crap when used to be be deployed to the sandbox in the mid-east...

It is because the NASM is trying to get ahead of everyone else by doing that goofy rehab swissball bullshit. Plus they now offer that MS in Exercise Science.

I'm sure the Diamond Backs are a pretty good team to go and watch....
