[@powerliftingcyborg]

Is there a download for the latest daily program template?

[@coachrohitsharma]

i loved their names somewhere else, netflix the men was indeed awesome like this one

[@charlescummings6222]

Also requesting the template. Was it ever uploaded?

[@denyceholley466]

With side plank, if the client comments the shoulder is stressing, is this an indication that they are not activating their gluten and have let go of their core bracing? Or is this more a matter of shoulder weakness?

[@alexi5540]

Strong core equals less stress on any extremity.

[@alexi5540]

Stick with standard plank for the client. Yes, build endurance for all extremities and re-visit.

[@alexi5540]

Also there is definite lactic acid build up in the shoulders depending on if the form is correct so stretching might be necessary.

[@ah-castlefitness5737]

Does this person have issues with overhead lifting or lifting a weight out to the side? If so this person could have some shoulder injuries.

[@troyyoung8722]

Would you change this workout or stick with it through the entirety of Phase 1?

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

I would say each workout is a progression from the previous session so every program is different.

[@mennamagdy1106]

I have the same question , how we progress this workout or for how long this workout would last ??

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

@@mennamagdy1106 You can keep same exercises over a couple of weeks but changing the resistance/repetitions/rest time based on the person. In week 3-4 you can change exercises and repeat the acute variables above. Week 5-6 would be a deload before moving on to the next phase. This is one way of doing it

[@mennamagdy1106]

@@AndrewTheTransformer thanks alot for your attention I got it ❤

[@AndrewTheTransformer]

@@mennamagdy1106 No problem. How are you getting on?

[@cyno5002]

The freezing and fuzzy video was distracting. Wish I could fully tune in but it was tough

Ya Wi-Fi is not good lol

I really feel like this whole program is trying to make me an amateur physical therapist as opposed to a qualified fitness trainer.

[@jimmiejay8174]

It is. It was designed by a physical therapist. People always say nasm is the best but I disagree. I regret getting this certification. Why would I train someone on an unstable surface if they can’t even do the stable exercise correctly? Why is power after maximal strength? Power is a crucial component to maximum strength. That’s just the surface of everything that is wrong with this. NASM would be great to have if you are in fact planning on working in rehabilitative environments. As for personal training for the generally healthy population, absolutely not. There’s not many people who are jumping up and down to do their “single leg curl to press with a 4-2-1-1 tempo”. Wtf. No one is gonna stick with such a boring and anal workout program. They label it “pes planus distortion syndrome”. Don’t tell the client they have a fucking syndrome. That tears down their self image. Keep it simple and just say “hey, your feet cave in but that’s ok, we’ll strengthen your glutes, hip abductors, and arches and move on once we get to where we need to be”. So so much wrong with nasm. Then they keep wanting you to get all these bullshit certs. If they were advertising this to be a credential to add to your physical therapy school weight packet, wonderful. But for the general population that personal training attracts? Nah

I totally agree with you!!! 💯👏🏻 I was thinking something is wrong with me. Glad I am not alone who thinks likewise
