Machete Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Just completed the final exam (which I apparently didn't really need to study for, because it was mostly exercise science). On top of that, I finished my graduate course on Advanced Exercise Physiology with an A-. So it has been a pretty academically productive month. 8 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment

Machete Posted March 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 A man acquires more titles...ISSA Certified Fitness TrainerEasy enough, yet pretty comprehensive. Final was no joke. And the founder is a doctor who squatted a thousand pounds ("Dr. Squat") - street cred. NASM Performance Enhancement SpecialistDefinitely one I would be able to use. Pretty advanced stuff, and definitely applicable. Increased focus on biomechanics.

Guest Dirty Deads Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I found ISSA to be alright. The final was easier than I'd anticipated considering I didn't study. I'm planning on getting a couple more myself. Definitely CES and MMA. Probably get certified for youth as well. Anyways, well done! Quote Link to comment
Machete Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well, I got a few more in. NESTA Sport Yoga InstructorBasic stuff. I was expecting more. Biomechanics focus and is very self-paced. CrossFit Level 1 TrainerYes, I drank the Kool-Aid. Weekend cert. Very educational and enlightening course on a rather misunderstood concept. I actually recommend it for serious CrossFitters. And the instructors were beasts. NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning SpecialistJust passed the exam. Definitely a tough one, and to me it seems way more complicated than it has to be. Gets my foot through the door for further ventures though.

Machete Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 That is awesome! Congrats on all the titles! Thank you, fellow monk. I figure all those letters would look good next to my name. Machete, CSCS, PES, CFT, CF LV1, MMACP, SY I tend to ramble anyway, at least people will know I'm not pulling it all out of my ass.

Silo Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hey, good job! I know that you frequently post about training. Are you a FT trainer (I was thinking that you were in the military?) Or is that what you are working toward? Quote 2016 goals: Hit goal weight.

Machete Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 What's an FT Trainer? Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment

Machete Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 USA Boxing Level 1 CoachOne day seminar and test. Covers basic rules, scoring, training, and safety issues. CrossFit Kettlebell TrainerAwesome course by Jeff Martone of Tactical Athlete. Weekend course, very hands-on. Hands were rubbed raw afterwards and my posterior chain was definitely feeling it. 1 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment
Machete Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 CrossFit Mobility TrainerVery informative one-day course that touches upon the basic principles covered in The Supple Leopard 2nd edition. Some demonstrations on how to implement certain mobilization techniques particularly problem areas for the squat.

Machete Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Precision Nutrition Level 1 CoachNutrition and coaching certification by Dr. John Berardi's company. Utilizes the same textbook as ISSA's Fitness Nutrition Specialization by Beradri and Andrews. Half nutrition theory and half coaching practice. Been consistently following Berardi's work since 2007, so it was pretty easy for me and I went through the tests rather quickly. Good course to learn basic nutrition theory and practical habit-based coaching.

Machete Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 CrossFit Gymnastics TrainerTook this course on a whim. Turned out to be an excellent one, taught by Chuck Bennington. As a guy who naturally gravitates towards bodyweight movements, I thought it would be a good fit. Definitely learned a lot, and it particularly reinforced my adamant beliefs about virtuosity, which Glassman tends to preach a lot about (unsurprisingly, since his background is in gymnastics). I developed a newfound love for the hollow position. I even got featured on their Facebook page, which was pretty awesome. I'll be waiting to take the advanced course whenever it becomes available.
