I'm going to pull the trigger on becoming a personal trainer as a side gig while I am going through flight school.
Have any of you become a PT? Any advice or suggestions about who to get certified through and getting started?
Also, /fit/ side gig general?

That video was so cringy wtf... there are some trash trainers out there
Have you graduated college?
>CSCS
>NASM
>ACSM
If you think you know how to train people, have never studied about exercise in depth (500hrs+), or just wanna be a douche bag idiot trainer then you can get:
>ISSA
>ACE
Both of those certs you have an open book, at home, untimed test and then you print out a certificate. Its a fucking joke.

my third cousin is an ss trainer and her gym charges 80$ an hour to book her for a 1 on1
>>41687474
Wtf that form was fucking disgusting
>tfw lifting isn't making you any less anxious/socially awkward.
>>41687461
For how long have you been lifting? Have you noticed any progress yet?
fucking meathead
>>41687461
Lifting doesn't make you less awkward or anxious.
The only mental magic that occurs from lifting is the obvious ego boost one gets when they realize they look less shitty in the mirror.
Keep lifting Anon, you are already doing better than the majority of people who aren't lifting.
How do I fix this as fast as possible?
Should I even bother lifting if posture is preventing me from making it?
Look into PRI
Postural Restoration Institute.
See if you local PTs know about it and can work using some of their techniques.
Is it as bad as pic related?
At first its focusing on squeezing your flutes and tightening your core. it will help give you a feel for your hips rolling back.
Then focus on the range of motion your hips have, you can put one leg on a chair and basically pivot your hips
A good way to tell if your getting hip movement is where your groin is facing as weird as the sounds, it should be flat in front of you but if you have apt it will be tilted downwards, you can roll your hips back and have it facing kinda upwards.
When your standing focusing on tightening you core and gluts and you'll start to see progress. I still lifted with this though
How long does it take to reach this body all natural
3 months
>>41687345no way
>>41687351
You can if you're a skeletal or if you have muscles and a fat just cut
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be and why?
It can be anything from a personality trait to something physical.
I want either wings or big horns
>>41687281
I would make my left pinkie toe a little shorter than it is now
>>41687281
I'd like to not be a fat worthless piece of shit.
Does anyone else perform a haka before lifting?
no because cultural apropriation of the maori is dispicable
>>41687284
Tumblr be gone!
>>41687303
whatever casper just because you have no culture doesnt mean nobody else does.
Is this the perfect male body?
>perfect
>be part black
huehuehue
>>41687229
pretty damn close honestly
we'll get straight to it
>before I married, I was 5ft3 110lbs and wore size XS or S
>after I got married, I'm 145lbs and currently wear M to L
has anyone experience comfy weight gain and learned how to lose it along with the comfy marital mentality?
would appreciate any advice
>>41687208
Simple - do more /fit/ activities with your SO. Go hiking, swimming, running together and shit. If your SO doesn't want to do any of that stuff, find a new one.
>>41687297
>married
>find a new one
do you even get out of the fucking house ?
>>41687208
>5'3"
grill?
can any former fatties give me some tips on self control? every time my parents buy junk food i just have an urge to eat the whole thing and that would be on my mind all the time.
>>41687165
don't eat junk food
>>41687165
chew it up and spit it out
>>41687165
Get out of your parents house or ask them to cut back on the junk for everyone's sake
I'm hungry and there's McDonald's my roommate came with... HOw can I deny it ? How can I deny food temptation ? There's also hella chocolate and shit............hungry. I am. How can I deny food (like these God)
I am so fat but the problem is hungry how can I deny it ? Junk food everywhere how can I deny this ?
>>41687123
You say no and don't eat it you pathetic fat fuck
>>41687153
don't. One or two days of eating good won't kill you, you worked hard for it, treat yourself!
Is it possible to look like this natty? If so how long would it take someone to acquire this physique
>>41687041
depends on height, where you start, how committed you are, genetics
maybe it's possible but you'll never make it even with roids because you're a faggot

About 5'9 weighing in about 158 21years old and low body fat just a little pouch of fat not a flat stomach yet basically
I've been struggling with falling asleep for a long time now but since I came out of NEET status there is time schedules I need to do and not being able to fall asleep when I want to is causing me problems.
Unless I've stayed up all night, I won't fall asleep as soon as I hit the bed but weirdly if I'm at my parents house and feel tired I start to fall asleep, perhaps this is a psychological issue? I've been in my rented place for over a year so I thought I'd be used to it by now but not sure, it's worth considering if it is this but it could be a coincidence since I only see them after work and gym.
So far I've tried limiting caffeine time and consumption wise, sticking to a set bed time schedule and making sure I'm not on my computer an hour before bed but nothing seems to work.
For me, I count backwards from 100 reducing counting every time I exhale works for me. Also the environment helps, quiet, cool and dark.

When your muscles start involuntarily shaking does that mean to keep going or stop?
>>41686892
it means to involuntarily keep going
it goes away if you start to voluntarily shake them, try it next time
