Haha yeah I had some good certs but I know some old gym dogs that id trust to train me more than many who have all the fancy certs(you are dead on about pay too...hence why I decided real estate was a little more my style). I think youve proven your knowledge on this board. I think most of the disagreements in this thread from what I can tell, have been misunderstandings. I dont think ive seen anyone dismiss low intensity, steady state cardio, though I think as some have already pointed out, that one can structure their strength workouts to achieve many of the V02 benefits without solely relying on traditional "cardio"
For me a mix of both has been my sweet spot.
100%
im not dismissing it at all. im more taking the stance of...if i have to choice..what gives me the best mix of
1) health/longevity
2) what contributes more to the quality of my day to day life
3) training economy. in the end many of us are limited in time we can devote to training. I mean personally i would love to be able to do PPSA strongville every day of the year plus 3 days of inclined walking and eat like dante trudal says and push the shite out of the food and gain as much muscle as possible over next 3-4 years....but i dont. so we have to make choices factoring in ROI
i have made no bones about it...i value strength over all other modalities and not even remotely close. there will never be any changing of my mind that it is the most important quality when it comes to health, aesthetics, quality of life.
but when i say strength training, im not talking about being like a damn 300lbs bodybuilder or powerlifter that cant tie their shoes without getting out of breath either.
nad yea the certs are cool and all but the only one i really found extremely usefull was the cpps courses from defranco...well the westside stuff is great too but of the same vein. the stuff from Opex ccp was ok. alot of the other true certs are kind of useless.
i would like to get starting strength cert just to better my coaching of youth athletes.
