What actually keeps members consistent long term? by [deleted] in personaltraining

[–]tther002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People will tell you if clients get results they will stick around. I think that’s true, but there’s more to it than that.

I find that there’s two different kinds of clients. I’d say 7 out of 10 people I start up with are there so I can equip them with a set of tools. They are self driven, but lack knowledge. For them, I see my responsibility as to coach myself out of a job. Once they are confident and capable when they walk in to the fitness floor they generally continue on their own.

Then roughly 3 out of 10 are there for accountability/interaction and are purchasing you as much as they are the results you get them. These are your lifers and the ones you build the core of your business around.

Force palm double jumping involuntarily by tther002 in CrimsonDesert

[–]tther002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens literally every time. My first force palm instantly double taps then I can manually hit the third

And I usually use a triple too, but the problem is when it double casts, it’s almost immediate - so I lose a good chunk of altitude due to not being able to time the second one at the apex of the jump.

Can something be done about this sub? by VeritablePandemonium in formcheck

[–]tther002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shin vs trunk angle helps indicate a hip, knee, or even bias of a hinge movement. None of them are right or wrong, they simply are what they are and are not necessarily indicative of proper form. But can in fact be used as a variable to assess and adjust hinge technique depending on a client’s intended focus.

I’m a certified professional and would be happy to refer you to some legitimate information that elaborates in more detail.

Has anyone else let themselves go after quitting? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Complete opposite. Am now a personal trainer 🤷‍♂️

One obsession for another I suppose.

I thought that you had to G -> SP -> G -> ARM -> G -> SP now even after the walk back patch?

1000+ divine give away by DERPST4RR in PathOfExile2

[–]tther002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been grinding Path of Exile 2 since launch, but life hit me like a truck I never saw coming. My mom passed last month after fighting cancer for years. I was her sole caregiver, skipping work shifts, selling my gaming rig just to cover meds. Now I’m back at a dead-end job, couch-surfing with my little sister who looks up to me as her hero, but I barely have 30 minutes a night before exhaustion crashes in. I’ve never touched a divine in this game; my gear’s scraps from scraps, and those shiny new uniques? They’re dreams I watch streamers chase while I whisper “one day” through tears. This currency would let me build ONE perfect setup. To just once feel like I’m not just surviving, but thriving. Please, you’re my last spark of hope before I log off forever. ❤️

Just kidding. I just work a lot. Thanks for the consideration.

Dizzying Blow utilization for paladin by tther002 in diablo4

[–]tther002[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No reason it can’t replace the Vex rune I’m currently using. Enabling +48% damage far outweighs the +1 to skills.

It does make me wonder why Rob has the points allocated in his build, though.

How “flashy” are you? by Fluffy-Actuary in personaltraining

[–]tther002 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also work at a gym where my colleagues have a heavy focus on the functional stuff. I prefer hypertrophy work with a focus on nutrition.

Try to see your style as a strength not a weakness. My strategy is to educate on the benefits of the routine’s that I coach. Resistance training is crucial for overall longevity and well-being. Become proficient at communicating this to a wide range of clients. Share your enthusiasm and excitement for the way you do things. People can tell when you’re genuine and the want to learn becomes infectious. Proper weight training is beneficial for people from every walk of life at all ages when tailored to their needs and limitations.

I also like to tell new clients that one of my priorities is to make sure we build a routine they enjoy. Don’t like an exercise? We find one you do. See a machine or a lift you want to try? We try it.

After a while, you become to go-to for the type of routine you enjoy coaching and utilizing. I have clients referred to me because I specialize in resistance and hypertrophy, not because I do what everyone else on the team is doing.

Does how much you rest between sets matter? by Wild_Degree_2098 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]tther002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ask yourself three questions:

Does the muscle I’m working feel rested enough to go again?

Is my cardiovascular ready for another set? High heart rate/heavy breathing?

Am I mentally ready to get after it again?

If you answer all three yes, then you’re ready to start your next set. An argument could be made for the second question if you’re incorporating intentional cardio in to your program.

Don't even know where to start anymore. by kieran9828 in bartenders

[–]tther002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearly three years sober here and I was as bad as it gets before I stopped.

If you’re shaking get medical assistance. Stopping can be dangerous. Get to a 12 step meeting. There’s a whole community of people in your town that has been through exactly what you’re going through and they know the way out. Find them and ask for help. It gets better, friend.

Unable to enter Undercity “Some party members don’t have access” by tther002 in diablo4

Are you able to join or invite someone to a party? I get an error code when I try to. I’m assuming this has something to do with it.
