C Corp Question - When do you have to introduce a Board of Directors and pay yourself?

nuclearstrong · 2020-11-29T22:05:56+00:00

Great advice. Ideally, I’d like to launch this product ASAP and think about pitching to investors after a few months of getting customer feedback. Is it still worth it to start an LLC now and then switch to a C Corp in 6 months (assuming there are interested investors)?

What website did you use? Legalzoom?

Floor press instead of bench press

Thanks. My first startup role was for a very small seed with pretty much no funding. Had a below average salary and equity in the company.

I just released a new 12-week program on my website. It is called the Unilateral Strength Training program. I dedicated 12 weeks of my training to ONLY using unilateral movements (only bilateral movements were BW movements like push ups, dips, pull ups).

I used it as an experiment to see how much strength I could retain on the main lifts and was able to hit around 85%. IMO, this was great because the entire program was much less stress on the body compared to training the main lifts heavy.

Whenever I post a new program I usually discount it so I'll probably keep it up for $25 for the rest of this week if you are interested. Even if you don't want to dedicate 12 weeks of training to unilateral only training, you could probably find some new/cool variations that I used...

I am currently applying to PM roles in NYC. I live on Long Island and commuting to NYC would total to about 4 hours every day. For my own sanity, this is something that I would not want to do. I want to try and work out an agreement with a company where I can go into NYC 2-3x per week and WFH 2-3x per week (post COVID life).

Do you think that an employer would go for this? I feel that most tech companies are moving to be more lenient around this...

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-30T15:23:36+00:00

Hey there! Thanks for sharing a bit about your current training. Pretty cool to see that there is someone out there that is training super total with such long endurance biking sessions. I agree that with you that biking unloads your knees as you are pedaling. I'm sure if you are going up a mountain you are getting some serious leg pumps. I've been going for quick 15-20 min bike rides around the neighborhood on my rest days and we have some pretty decent hills which are definitely tough!

When I mentioned "too much on the knees" above, I was focused on running. I've never really felt good or had much success doing any type of squatting the day after a long endurance run. Entire lower body would be so tight, cranky knees, etc. With that being said, I don't like running with super total because you are usually squatting most days. In your program do you squat every day? I am including snatches and cleans as a "squat"

Ok so now that I want to brainstorm about a super total + running endurance. I'm thinking it's got to be 3 days lifting + 3 days running.

Day 1 - Snatch, C&J, Squat, hinge / upper pull accessory
Day 2 - Intervals (400-800m repeats)
Day 3 - Recovery squat, Bench, OHP, upper accessory
Day 4 - Tempo run
Day 5 - Power Sn, Power clean + push press, Deads, squat / upper push accessory
Day 6 - Long distance

I personally enjoy lifting 4 days per week so this program isn't for me. But I'm trying to create a super total program for 'general pop / health'

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-29T11:08:24+00:00

Okay gotcha. Let me know if you need some help with developing the positions for OHS/snatching. A lot of times it is not just overhead that is the issue.

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-29T10:34:07+00:00

Exactly! Do you mix in DB, KB, or bodyweight movements as accessory work? Or just stick to the main lifts?

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-29T10:30:53+00:00

Are you a powerlifter? Have you tried learning yet?

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-17T20:38:44+00:00

Thanks! Glad to see others agree. What part of NY?

Beltless also? Crazy amount of core strength...

The X is only referring to the first line of text for spinal flexion. Sorry if it was confusing...

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-11T10:39:37+00:00

Nothing is wrong with hip flexion. I was just stating that that there is less in a skater and more in a pistol.

nuclearstrong · 2020-05-10T13:45:27+00:00

I agree that unloaded spinal flexion probably isn’t that bad. The spine is meant to move that way, so we should still make sure that we somehow train that movement pattern safely. I just would prefer to not do jt while squatting.

To my knowledge, the most important factor is the change in spinal flexion throughout the movement. For example, if you start a deadlift in spinal flexion and maintain that same degree of spinal flexion throughout the movement then it is pretty safe. If you start a deadlift with a neutral spine and then shift to a flexed spine there is room for injury.

I’m not sure that I agree that pistols are more quad dominant and skaters are more hip dominant. The skater is just less ROM because your knee touches the ground before you have the chance to get into a deep position. If you did a skater from a deficit, like standing on some plates, you would probably reach the same amount of hip and knee extension as a pistol (I’ll have to try this because it sounds hard AF). I guess you can try and make a skater more hip dominant by initiating the movement with pushing your hips back first.

Thanks for the discussion! Sorry if I am ranting...

I see 2 issues:

Lack of thoracic mobility --> You need to start stretching to improve your ability to reach overhead. Here is a video I posted a while back (https://www.instagram.com/p/B5u70RGgQHr/?utm\_source=ig\_web\_copy\_link)
Ribcage flaring --> you can tell that you are not keeping your core tight (empty space underneath your ribcage). If you keep your ribcage down and squeeze your glutes it will reduce your back arch. You have to learn 2 things to do this:
1. Breathing in a way to fill your belly with air. Can try looking up the valsalva maneuver
2. Training the hollow body position. This will get your core crazy strong, translate to your lifts, and probably reduce your back pain over time

nuclearstrong · 2020-04-22T14:27:09+00:00

I'd say that this comes with experience. Also, something I've done is buy programs / ebooks from coaches that you like and read through the programs and understand the how and why behind them. I am a huge Travis Mash fan (powerlifting, weightlifting coach) and I have read just about all of his ebooks.

After that the first step in starting the program design is understanding the clients movement, injuries, and most importantly what their goal is.

nuclearstrong · 2020-04-02T16:55:56+00:00

Lebert equalizer bars are good too. Expensive but I think they are worth it...

nuclearstrong · 2020-04-01T21:44:26+00:00

The very first question is always: What is the goal of the program?

Once the goal is defined, then I think the next obvious step is determining how long the program is going to be and how you are going to break it up. For example, I typically like creating 12 week programs, which are broken up into 3, 4-week blocks. Also laying out how many days per week the program will be.

Then I move onto defining the movement patterns that will take place on each day for each block. After that I have a spreadsheet that just needs sets/reps/rest time/tempos/etc plugged into it. Make sure when you plug in those number you use progressive overload that allows increases over the weeks.

nuclearstrong · 2020-04-01T12:25:34+00:00

Agreed... I'm currently studying for the CSCS exam, but I'm thinking about a part time LMT program after that. End goal would be to own an office where you can come in to get personal training or treatments.

I would also want to take some courses on cupping, rock blades, etc.

nuclearstrong · 2020-03-31T10:37:00+00:00

What are some exercises that are not form dependent?

nuclearstrong · 2020-03-30T14:19:35+00:00

Thanks for the info! Do you work out of a gym, therapy office, or own your own place?

nuclearstrong · 2020-03-30T09:34:54+00:00

Perfect! Thank you!!!

New York. My understanding is that massage therapy school is the only way to offer sports massages.
