midsection

I know what you mean, because you can never stop learning or know enough... I'm not saying I know everything, but I think EVERY personal trainer should at least know you can't spot reduce.... If they don't, they really need to consider a career change :p
 
this is a forum, if she was hot and in the same room she mau change my mind, but shes not.

Jessica - are you really a personal trainer? what qualifications do you have?

Even I know the basics and ive not even started my NVQ !!!!!
 
She said she was AFAA, ACE, and NASM, which I highly, highly doubt... on top of that she mentioned in a post that she was a trainer for 5+ years... well, I'm a year older than her, so if she's 22, that would mean she started training when she was 17, which is not possible because you have to be at least 18 years old... Even if that's wrong, she goes against her ACE certification based on the information she presented, because I found the exact text in the Cert. Manual for ACE...

Plus it looks like she's not apart of the forum anymore because she wipped her profile clean... Good ridance for bad information :rolleyes:
 
Dex.. I started training when I was 14... but back then there were no certificatons. LOL

I actually own a certification company now.
 
Oh man... you must be olllllllllllldddd :p (JK!) Ya times have changed... and so far for the better, and I hope they keep changing that direction... I hope it eventually get to the point where personal trainers are medical professionals and have to be certified through the board of the state for which their working...
 
actually as I was telling someone earlier its fun to see you all quote things I've written in the magazines.
As far as degrees, I have 3 doctorates and far far too many certifications.

But to be honest, we never hire degreed people for our gyms, most of what they teach is too new school and usually wrong. ;)

I don't have them open, they're just in my head :p Basically college was... "Here's the certification book, memorize it... $18,000 please!" But I do have a good chunk of reading material, mainly athletic training stuff since that was what I started out as.... But at work I have every book under the sun... and if not... I'll get it :D
 
cool, Iwasnt digging by the way, just thort it was funny, cos she didnt expect have all that stuff thrown back at her. daft cow
 
Since we've gone a little OT here

and Dex has all the books - what's your opinion on "Strength Training Anatomy" by Frederic Delavier? I have the edition for women - go figure it does not have one upper body exercise in it, yet all the diagrams show woment with nicely defined arms etc. Grrrrr.
 
This kind of books just have pretty pictures and not a lot of information... if you took all of that kind and throw them into one, it would be one heck of a book... What its funny about this type of book is that it's suppose to
"Get an inside view of the muscles in action during every exercise you perform"

well, don't you think that if you're doing a bicep curl... you're working your biceps?! (I know there's more than that, but come on :p )
 
ha, on a simular note, when I started I got the encyclopidia of bodybuilding.
its rubbish, just massive pics on every page.

oh, and dex, whilst your answering questions, what do you think of joe weiders "ultimate bodybuilding"

Its pretty old and I bin reading quite a bit of it. from what I can tell its pretty good, but its fairly basic. Its seems to be writen in a time when there acctually trying to give you the facts, not like many of todays popular culture book. So is it ture and worth my time or is it just good Bull?
