These podcasts are indeed helpful, and I know this has been mentioned several times, but visuals, such as an interactive or animated video that highlight the muscles and demonstrate the movements that are being referred to would be a huge help in further understanding these compensations and imbalances.
@@norman9052 All they need is a video format video (like they do in others) and then have posters, pictures, or even just turning the camera to the textbook or a computer screen would be VERY helpful for us visual learners!
I am SO glad I stumbled upon these! I'm going through the Guided Study program right now (trying to finish module 2 up tonight!) and I'm only wishing I knew these were out here earlier! PLEASE, make sure your other NASM-CPT candidates know about this resource! These will be perfect to listen to, repeatedly, as I'm driving, etc. and unable to access my book or videos.
I had a hard time making sense of the Vastus Lateralis when it comes to the knees internally rotating. I hate straight up memorizing stuff without understanding it first. Now, it makes perfect sense after listening to this podcast. Thanks 🙏 I will have my test in a couple of months and English is not my first language.
🙏 This podcast helped me pass my exam! My biggest issue was memorizing and knowing what muscles are short and lengthen. My advise listen to the episode over and over again and identify everything by simulating the movements. 🦵🏋️♀️
Thank you so much for this information! It's true I am studying for the exam but all that is secondary to being able to understand the concepts and applying to the client. I was able to listen to you while physically moving and feeling the muscles being talked about and when you said you could feel the biceps femoris pop out when you laterally rotate the foot it all clicked for me. Thank you for being a pleasure to listen to as well!
So helpful for current students in process of getting their CPT, or anyone wanting to deepen their understanding and knowledge of anatomy and muscle compensation. Thank you!!
This video would make a lot of sense if you have already memorized all the muscles. Now I can really understand the concepts behind the overactive and under active muscles. Listen to this various times the more you listen to it and have the different muscles memorized it will make a lot of sense. I had to listen to it like 3-4 times to get it 🥴
How much of the feet turning out or externally rotating considered excessive? There are Olympic and professional powerlifters teaching to move into a slight external rotation in squatting positions (including sumo deadlifts, snatch, and power clean). I’d like to address this issue. Athlete sources Ed Coan Oleksiy Torokhtiy Dmitry Klokov Especially for the deep squat positions. I think there some evidence of range of motion below parallel where the shape of the head of the tibia connects into the tail of femor that is less to do with muscle tightness and flexibility and more to do unlocking the below parallel stance.
Hi Zach, Our recommendation for a squat stance that is parallel and hip-to-shoulder width is designed for fitness clients. Any deviation from parallel is considered a movement compensation within the realm of general health and fitness. Olympic weightlifting and Powerlifting are both competitive sports and often require external rotation of the feet to achieve certain positions for competition. What is often necessary for sport is not ideal for fitness clients and may not carry over directly from the world of competition to the world of exercise. Maintenance of a parallel stance will enable fitness clients to achieve the necessary and desired benefits from the squat movement while maximizing safety and movement quality. Hope this helps!
Hi Rick, I’m taking my exam in a week which I’m certain I will pass. I was wondering if there was a specific personal trainer insurance company you recommend for me as a New York resident?
Hi Ricky, Brilliant video! i have recently been diagnosed with knee valgus. i have been walking around for over 5 years with problme and now have lots of problems with patella maltracking. My vastus Lateralis is massive overdeveloped and tight. Is this a by-product of knee valgus over a long period of time? any help would be massively appreciated :) thanks Craig
For example, you talk about how the medial gastrocnemius is interactive but the course says the entire gastrocnemius is overactive. Just confused what to listen to. Because I obviously want to pass the exam but I also want to know the correct information
The more minute details that nasm explains like it’s earth shattering and world saving news makes me wish I would have known how they operate before I spent so much money. Plus I love how this guy explains things like were high school children… but reading the other comments makes me think that’s the primary demographic.

Yes this would be amazing if it was like this
Idk if they would do this because of how much work it would take lol

It’s is very primitive that there are no pictures

As a new CPT just starting out my career, these podcasts are so helpful!
That's great to hear, Ryan! Best of luck to you on your new CPT career.

We're so happy to hear that, Dawn! Thank you for listening to the podcast and best of luck to you as you go through the Guided Study program.

Not a NASM student but I'm glad that you'll are helping new CPT with this podcast

Many thanks! This complements the lessons from books it helps a lot to understand concepts in a more dynamic way. Fantastic job!
I do appreciate these. Rick really knows what hes talking about. Please keep these up.
Thanks for the feedback, Silver! We're glad that you've been enjoying the podcast.
So helpful for current students in process of getting their CPT, or anyone wanting to deepen their understanding and knowledge of anatomy and muscle compensation. Thank you!!
This is so helpful! Knowing the why behind movement is something that I feel is missing from a lot of education. THANK YOU!
These podcasts are great, thanks NASM!
We're happy to hear that! Thanks for listening to the podcast.
Thank you all these podcasts . Love them . Really helpful
The best 👍🏼
Będzie dobrze i ciekawe do nowego odcinka
My test is in a couple days! Super nervous about the anatomy sections! This will hopefully do a lot to help me remember the compensations.
So helpful!!! Thank you so much 💪🏼
Nice explain ing
These are sooo valuable!! Thank you
Thank you, Rick, it was a helpful review!
Please tell how to rehab the ankle pronation issue

thank you for making this. really helpful for me and probably many more:)
Hi Luciano, we're glad that the podcast is helpful to you! Thank you for your positive feedback.
I love this podcast. Rick is awesome
U go RR!!

Love the content
So to strengthen underactive muscles we apply the same variables from each phase ? ex in phase 1 12-20 reps and 1-3 sets

IT IS MY FIRST TIME TOO LOOK A PODCAST I THINK THE CAN HELP SOME PEOPLE.lo
Ughh now I’m super confused😅 I need to go back and memorize all the muscles first.. lol I’m lost
Make a playlist for this subject
Dorsifexion is explained but never defined
How come this isn’t accurate compared to what I’m seeing through the CPT 7 Nasm course?
For example, you talk about how the medial gastrocnemius is interactive but the course says the entire gastrocnemius is overactive. Just confused what to listen to. Because I obviously want to pass the exam but I also want to know the correct information
Also, the course mentions that the glutes are underactive when feet turns out and Rick doesn’t mention anything about this.
ha all my bodyparts are underactive i guess
This would be valuable if some schematics/depictions illustrated the words words words words....blah blah blah blah
