There are many issues that social media has caused with the fitness industry, but up there is the forming of camps. Having a single stance on something makes it easier to acquire "followers" - ie people who subscribe to your religious approach to science. The more extremist, the better. Socmed gurus will tell you to "pick your niche", but what that often means is "pick your viewpoint". Being argumentative also aligns with the platform's algorithms - discussion = engagement = traction in the form of comments and sends. Zealots prosper.

I don't say this as someone who's sat on their high horse immune to it all. I bloody love a contentious debate, and it's often very hard to resist the temptation to get into a mud wrestle. There’s hypocrisy here - I’m working on it.

Biomechanics to me is the understanding of movement relative to gravity. The RTS syllabus defines exercise as "internal force production in response to external force application". An increased knowledge of what is taking place internally and how to manipulate the external resistance allows greater exercise analysis, design and individualisation - whether that's to accommodate someone's lack of tolerance, or improve the loading of a particular muscle group throughout it’s full contractile range in a seasoned gym user. It's tools in your arsenal as a coach, that are easy to underestimate and play down. Yes, obssessing over mechanics and the optimisation process to the point where it takes you 1.5hrs to set up a machine for a set of 5 reps at RPE0.5 because your form slacks by 8% as soon as you get within 20 reps from failure is counterproductive... but no one with a brain is suggesting that. As a PT it's literally our fucking job to make sure people move AS WELL AS POSSIBLE, as intensely, as frequently and as regularly as suits their goals/priorities. The myriad of variables involved in this are completely client-specific.
-
What I’ll never understand is why you can't do both. What's wrong with constantly chasing optimal resistance profiles and movement mechanics AND seeing how close you can get your client's balls to the wall? It doesn't have to be AT THE EXPENSE OF.

同時也有2部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過44萬的網紅SHINPHAMM,也在其Youtube影片中提到,Khi nói đến sức mạnh, mỗi người không phải chỉ sở hữu một loại. Sức mạnh có thể chia ra thành Sức mạnh tuyệt đối (Absolute Strength) và Sức mạnh tương...

... and vice versa. Neither is superior, but they are extremely different skillsets 🤷🏻♂️

Things good group instructors are awesome at:
- Stage presence / controlling a room 😎
- Being infectiously fun 🥳
- Timing movement to music 🎶
- Creating / delivering variations to routines 🕺
- Giving broad instructions to movements that a room full of people can understand in 15seconds ⏱
- Garnering a following on social media 😜
-
What a Personal Trainer needs to be good at:
- Obsessive attention to detail 🤓
- Understanding the biology behind how muscles work and nutritional protocols 🥦
- Understanding the physics of resistance relative to strength profiles 💪🏽
- Figuring out someone’s “why”, creating “buy-in”, keeping them focused, consistent and motivated 👍🏽
- Tailoring one’s programming based on their individual needs, abilities and reactions to training 📋
-
Ask @emiliolegaria and he’ll be the first to tell you I’m a naturally awful group instructor 😅 who has used a tonne of experience and hard work to hack the system.
-
I’m not saying you can only be one or the other; I know plenty of people who do both well... though they almost always do one or the other significantly better and should probably stick to what they do best. Unfortunately, it’s the combo that pays the bills 💸 Group sessions build publicity and 1-1 yields higher day-rates.
-
I also know plenty who only do one of the two well, and are incapable practitioners of the other... and it’s always group instructors who shouldn’t also be PTs 😬
-
Why? Because it’s really obvious when a PT lacks the skills mentioned above that are required for a good group instructor... the group session is shit and no one comes back (unless they’re really hot 🤦🏻♂️). However you, the public, have no idea what you should expect from personalised fitness. The industry is immature and as a result your standards are currently too low. If a group instructor gives you a routine but you’re the only one in the room, that’s apparently “personal training” 😔
-
The goal is that @joompa means PTs can afford to focus on their core craft and the public can easily find suitably qualified specialists.

Tony was practising flying relative to me. This was my second time in the tracking suit so I was a bit wobbly but still felt good.
