Locking It Down: Part 2

Proponents of regulation fail to recognize the barriers to linking personal training to health care and third-party insurance payments.

As detailed in “Locking It Down,” the benefits of legislated licensing for personal training are minimal at best for both the public and personal trainers.

So why would personal trainers want their occupation to become a licensed profession? Many don’t, and many more haven’t even considered the issue.

The stark reality is personal trainers are not driving the boat. If licensure comes to fruition, it’s more likely that credit—or blame—will be assigned to an organization unrelated to personal training. These organizations are not interested in helping personal trainers succeed; they are interested in regulating personal trainers for financial gain related to licensing or training prior to licensing.

The primary example of this craven quest for legislated income is the United States Registry of Exercise Professionals (USREPS, established by the Coalition for the Registry of Exercise Professionals), whose business model requires you to pay for registration to be on its list of personal trainers. To be eligible for the list, you must complete training and certification through a program accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies. Of course, USREPS member organizations—most notably the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)—provide that training and certification.

Should such organizations gain oversight of personal training through legislation, the result would be regulation by a government-appointed body that does not represent the vast majority of personal trainers. These organizations are also unfamiliar with the day-to-day realities of working in the fitness industry—clinical exercise and strength and conditioning for sports are not personal training.

Is there a dedicated body of personal trainers that can effectively argue against licensure? To date only CrossFit Inc. has stood up to represent personal trainers. CrossFit aggressively defends the rights of its trainers and coaches to practice, but its work also indirectly helps personal trainers with any credential by ensuring they are not misrepresented and regulated by organizations that have no right to do so.

The Myth of Adrenal Fatigue

Did you overwork your adrenal glands or are you getting worked by mythology and marketing?

Sticking to a physical exercise routine is tiring, but the soreness and fatigue from a good workout can easily be alleviated with a full meal and plenty of rest, so you’re raring to go by the time your next workout rolls around.

That’s the theory, at least.

When real life gets in the way, recovery can suffer. Sometimes, fatigue persists for so long between workouts that it doesn’t even seem to be caused by the gym.

If you’ve ever visited a supplement store in an effort to alleviate the symptoms of fatigue, you might have been told you’re suffering from adrenal fatigue. This is a common error. In short, adrenal fatigue doesn’t actually exist.

“Adrenal fatigue” is a marketing buzz term designed to sell products. Though the supposed symptoms of adrenal fatigue—including brain fog, difficulty paying attention and lethargy—are real, adrenal fatigue itself is not a condition recognized by the medical field. If the symptoms are severe enough to interfere in day-to-day life, they could be referred to as the effects of chronic fatigue syndrome but are otherwise simply referred to as “general fatigue.”

If adrenal fatigue doesn’t exist, why do we know and talk about it?

August 4, 2015 – Competition

Workout of the Day
A.
Every minute, on the minute, for 5 minutes:
Front Squat
*Set 1 – 2 reps @ 60%
*Set 2 – 2 reps @ 65%
*Set 3 – 2 reps @ 70%
*Set 4 – 1 rep @ 75%
*Set 5 – 1 rep @ 80%

Rest one minute, and then…

Every two minutes, for 10 minutes (5 sets):
Front Squat
*Set 6 – 85% x 1 rep
*Set 7 – 85-90% x 1 rep
*Set 8 – 90+% x 1 rep
*Set 9 – 90+% x 1 rep
*Set 10 – 90+% x 1 rep

For sets 6-10, let feel dictate loading. The goal is to establish today’s “heavy” lift. “Heavy” for the day is the load immediately before that at which you would lose proper mechanics and positioning. If you determine that you’ve reached that load for the day prior to set 10, stop there. You’ll have lots of opportunities over the upcoming weeks to hit new 1-RMs if and when your body is feeling good, so don’t push when your body isn’t responding to the stimulus.

B.
Six sets of:
Halting Clean Deadlift + Clean Pull + 2 Power Cleans @ 65-80% of 1-RM Clean
Rest as needed

Build over the course of the six sets from the low to the high end of the prescribed range. Stay focused on maintaining good and consistent mechanics on the first and second pulls in each movement.

C.
Every minute, on the minute, for 10 minutes:
Split Jerk x 1 rep @ 70-80%
(hold for 3 seconds in receiving position and ensure perfect footwork)

D.
In 15 minutes or less, build to today’s “heavy”…
Back Squat x 1 rep

Followed by…

Every 2 minutes, for 6 minutes (3 sets):
Back Squat x 3 reps @ 75% of today’s heavy single

Optional Additional Conditioning Session
Five sets of:
Row 1000 meters @ 5km PR Pace
Rest 60 seconds

Sunday 150802

10 rounds for time of:
Swim 100 yards
Rest 1 minute

CrossFit Cronulla: Where Fun Rules

Nick Evans and Matt Healey like to have fun.

That fun includes lifting in Speedos, handstand-walking across the street and dancing—lots of dancing.

The two coach at CrossFit Cronulla in Cronulla, Australia, a beachside suburb in southern Sydney.

The affiliate started in 2011 in Evans’ mother’s garage. Within a few months, it was growing so rapidly Healy and Evans asked their parents to co-sign a loan to obtain a larger space about five minutes from the ocean.

“We were just two young fellas giggling, signing the (paperwork),” Healey says. “But it’s all worked out pretty good. We’ve just tried our best, and we’re passionate about it and enthusiastic. From that, the business has grown.”

Their goal is to make sure people get fit while also having fun.

“You can still train as hard as you like and have a little bit of fun, as well,” Healey says. “At the end of the day, you’ve got to be having fun if you want to do well.”

CrossFit Cronulla member Casey Boonstra appreciates her coaches’ philosophy.

“It creates a good vibe,” she says. “It makes everyone not take it so seriously and be able to interact with each other.”

Member Matthew Lycakis agrees.

“They’re good entertainment,” he laughs. “They definitely make the classes more enjoyable.”

“We do feel like this isn’t a job,” Evans says. “We get to do exactly what we love.”
