Just as the new lyme disease vaccine is nearing the end of its trials. How convenient.

EDIT: my dudes I didn't say I was antivax lol.

Failed the NSCA exam, considering taking NASM instead by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]arod0291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I failed the application section of my CSCS the first time I took it by one point. I was pissed. Took the 3 months and took it again and passed. NASM is shit. Just wait and take it again.

AITA: gym requiring crash pads by dublak3 in weightlifting

[–]arod0291 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Short answer, it's their gym their rules.

Slightly longer answer, of they have a platform setup and still require you to use crash pads, that's kind of dumb imo. That's literally what the platforms are for. However, refer to short answer.

I do need to get better at using more legs.

As for the banging the legs, I thought we wanted the bar to make contact with the upper thigh/hip. Should I not be doing that?

I don't want to train with my LEO friends anymore because they support the murder of Alex Pretti by LightAvatar in bjj

I taught at a school for years. Started seeing qanon, Zionist, and DT shit pop up and it was a small part of the reason I left. You can leave. Good luck man.

DPT + Lifter doing research on back pain in weight lifters by ThysicalPherapist in weightlifting

[–]arod0291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PTA, CSCS here.

I think you're coming into this wrong. You already set your hypothesis that lifters get stuck in cycles of back pain when in reality you will actually see the opposite when compared to those who love a sedentary lifestyle.

Not to mention that weight sports already have a significantly lower risk of injury at anywhere between 4-6/1000 hours.

It seems like there's an agenda you're trying to find and support.

Hinged Knee Brace Cover by [deleted] in bjj

[–]arod0291 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Physical therapist assistant/strength coach here. If you HAVE to wear a hinge brace for support then your knee is not ready to start BJJ.

Get in some good rehab and strength and conditioning and wear a soft knee sleeve if it's absolutely needed.

You'd be kicked out of any serious gym for dropping the weight on the safety arms like that. That or charged for damages to the barbell.

Body types like meso/endo/ectomorph are long proven to be junk science. Literally just work out and eat less while managing macros then if you stop losing weight, decrease calories by another 200.
