If you have not liked and subscribed to all his content, it is a mandatory "must-do". His videos are so informative, easy to comprehend, and you will grow so much from his material. Thank you so much for relieving some of the stress of understanding how to study the 1,000page textbook we are given, and for being an online coach to the many people seeking to pass the NASM Exam. God is good.
Thank you so much for producing these videos, it is a huge help with reviewing and understanding the course im taking with NASM. It takes away the anxeity of the exam.
Thank you for all this amazing content, I've been thoroughly enjoying it and appreciate how much it supports me in studying for the NASM CPT exam as well as help me become a stronger coach. One quick suggestion (offered with love, take it or leave it) the language of hard/soft skills (you referenced the behavioral model as the 'soft,' stuff) is dated. Another way skills can be referred to is technical skills and behavioral skills, as opposed to hard and soft skills. This helps to center the behavioral skills as equally as important as the technical skills, I would suspect that in coaching, that's very true. Your understanding of anatomy could be 100% (the technical skills), but if you're behavioral skills suck (your ability to listen, ask open-ended questions, and understand behavior change), you would likely be a less-than-effective coach. Just a thought :) Thanks again for all the knowledge!
Thank you thank you thank you for your videos! I failed the first time and then I came back and watched and watched AND watched and I passed the second time yesterday!! 🙌🏾 I should have honed in on the videos sooner. Thank you for all that you do! Excited to start my coaching career by the end of year once my day job calms down! 😀
18:22 That guy in the back was doing ATG squats without any form breakdown for a solid 90 seconds straight😭 Had a hard time focusing on the actual video haha
I like that you gym allows training barefoot and looks like you are in barefoot shoes! That's what got me started looking into CPT was the benefits I've had transitioning to barefoot! Thanks for this video and hope to take my exam this month. Also glad that I landed on NASM as my certification training choice as it seems to focus greatly on human movement dynamically in all plans of motion. After transitioning to barefoot, I soon learned how connected the kinetic chain was to foot function and visa versa. Dr. Splichal & "barefoot strong" was my first resource into understanding this dynamic human movement concept and she is excellent with a ton of great information & products as well!
How much nutrition is on the test? I can't believe the nutrition section is so hardcore when basically they say you don't use any of that. You refer out anyway.
Why are you always mentioning overhead squats? Am I missing something? The overhead squat is part of the snatch and is a VERY VERY ADVANCED ATHLETIC movement. Why would a general personal trainer/coach be evaluating clients or even programming such a movement. I think cross fitters and Olympic letters here, not average gym goer.
Hey Bruce! I mentioned the Overhead Squat Assessment frequently because it is one of the most common assessments in the NASM curriculum and important for trainers to know for the exam.

Tyler, how did you do ? Where did you do the practice exam ?
Hi! How did you do?
Doing it today. Last night scored 65. Not a great confidence booster. But like you said. Have to go for it anyway

Only like 5% of the test will likely cover nutrition. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
