Axiom Fitness. This is what ruined my career as a trainer. Programming was the area i struggled and eventually let my cert run out. I was NASM certified for about 7 years. Had opportunities to work in the field but with no confidence in my self and getting a client results i really failed. I wanted to even run my own business but it didn't work out. Anyone can put a program together. The problem for me was not knowing when to progress a client. There is just so much room for error when designing a program. Reps, sets, exercises, Intensity, I'm gonna have to look at the resource you referenced in the video. Thanks for your channel and appreciate and enjoy your content. Maybe i could redeem myself again someday help clients achieve their goals.
Love it! When I first started as a trainer I had most of my clients on 30 min sessions...learned quickly that straight sets just weren't going to get the results needed. Love the formula of push/pull/accessory(or corrective) for Upper Body movements and Hinge/Lunge/Accessory(corrective) for lower body. And with Squat pattern it could be Foot/core activation/Squat/bridge for example. Not only do you get way more work and movements in, but each exercise sets up/compliments the next one. It has helped improve overall performance of the big lifts as well for clients.
yes this is great programming! I do tri sets or triplex sets myself to get more out of my workouts! It feels great and keeps my cardio up . I have my base exercise with two other side exercises with just ten seconds rest between the two and then take a full minute or two rest start entire circuit again. Bench to hammer curls to bent over rows. Romanian dead lifts to sumo squats to plyometric squat jumps, be creative add some stretching with the rest time planks or a balance movement .
Really appreciate your videos. Completely agree on the concept that straight sets are a 'waste of time' for the level most are at. I'm far from experienced, but personally when I shifted to a single 'long' set [super and tri and opposite muscle groups as well] 6 months ago - it was a revelation for me personally. Less time in the gym, faster recovery, and better results. May not be for everyone, but I've seen a few trainers [I'm not one] doing something similar as they move between exercises. Also...new trainers need to hear it from you...tell your followers not to STAND AND DRINK COFFEE AND SAY 'GOOD JOB' over and over if you are a trainer. Get involved and look like you are adding value. :)
I’m mauve heard that super sets and circuit training was more beneficial than a tru set. What do you think about that? Matter fact would you say at least 15 sec of rest in between each full exercise?
Unless someone is training for pure strength and nothing else, straight sets aren't the best use of time. Beyond that, using bi/tri/super sets is really client and goal dependent.

Thanks for sharing your story! I believe it's never too late for you to get back to it if it's your dream.

This is such a great point and is a tough bias to remove, especially as a coach gets more advanced. Clients value results and experience! Great video.
Well said!
