Hi my name is Lionel Smith Im from South Africa. I will love to give Training for those who want todo bodybuilding. How and where do I start ?

[@lionelsmith9860]

Hi can you show me Bodybuilding Training and Coaching please Thanks Lionel Smith SA

[@Alaina14mw]

I'd love a full breakdown. I took my PT and Nutritionist Cert through ISSA but like most education, there's textbook and reality. These videos have helped me practice on myself as I went for the "complete newbie starts working out and took education to try to teach herself" route. So these videos are my lifeline as I know NOTHING in practice. :)

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

So glad you’ve found them helpful!

[@abhishek_munian]

There is textbook at them there is reality! What a powerful line!!!

[@triggap47]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. As a newly qualified PT with just one client as I get started, I was getting a bit worried; overthinking and in danger of over planning. You've given me the tools to simplify things. Thank you so much. :)

As someone who is training to become a Personal Trainer, I thank you so much for your intellectual and easily explained formatting and advice on how to adhere to the theoretical components of the field!

Would definitely be grateful for a full video. I've learned so much from your videos and am grateful for the time and effort you put in to give us this helpful free content. Your NASM CPT vids helped me prepare to pass the CPT test. Which I did in January! Thanks Jeff!!

[@simonvegas793]

Agreed!

I really appreciate that! Congrats on passing! The next video will cover the workout chart in depth! I think it will be a useful one for sure

[@bluvapors]

Hello. I just found your channel and I have recently graduated NASM as a PT. I am loving your videos. You have a wonderful way of speaking and looking at the way things could be done. I love that you r not so ridged on certain factors and allow for breathing room. I have my first training session with a client in 2 days and your videos are a great confidence booster. I would like to thank you for the forms as well. They were a great help. I even replaced a few of the ones I drew up. Your video presentations are very relatable and well done. Thank you again for all your time and effort.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I really appreciate that! I’m sure you’ll do well with your client!

[@trudimurry5463]

Would love to see more on programming. I train a few elderly people and struggle trying to find a good program for them since most cannot get on the floor and have limited ability such as knees and shoulders.

[@sarahosborne7477]

[@angelicaroman87]

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I appreciate that! Keep it simple! It’s almost always the best way to do it!

[@davidmeloche3563]

I'm already retired "thanks" to a military transport accident, so my study and focus on training has been to actively NOT retain clients. I want them to not need me once we're done, because they're now fit, and educated on how to maintain that fitness for as long as possible.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

It sounds like your head and heart are in the right place! I think the thing that people don’t know until they’ve done training for a while is why most people sign up for training in the first place. Your accountability is far and away the number one reason.

[@cuzzywuzzyfuzzy]

Can you do a video of programming for at home/virtual sessions. How to handle progressive overload with little to no equipment

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

There’s a good chance I’ll do something along those lines at some point! The downside of having little, or no equipment is that it’s tougher to make things more challenging over time. That said, it’s still very possible!

[@elijahjohnson4588]

Something that I think would be super useful to see: what your thoughts are on duration of rest times for each training phase listed on your phasing system sheet

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

I thought about putting rest interval stuff on there but I decided against it at the last minute. I aim for 1-2 minutes rest time between exercises, but it varies a lot depending on the client. Anyways, on average the bigger moves take longer to recover from (2ish mins) and the smaller moves don’t take as long (1 min give or take) Again, it varies a ton when training average, everyday people.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks! I’m glad you found it helpful! Here’s the next video that breaks things down more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3Wvm617p5iUY5Y As far as switching from lower/squats to upper/bench, for most general population clients you could program either move on a regular basis. I start most clients with total body sessions so bench press, squats, and most other compound moves show up on a regular basis.

love the charts. would you be able to make a version where it can be edited on a computer or phone. I love pen and paper but I have a lot of clients that train 3x a week so I would go through so many sheets. I use to do paper and my folders were insanely large

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for the support! I’m working on a solution to that! Keep in mind that many of my clients come in 3 times a week too. It’s not too bad since the chart is front and back giving you room for 18 sessions. That said, an editable version of the chart should be available at some point soon!

[@lynneramos3179]

HI Jeff - thank you (again) for all you share with trainers. I struggle at times mainly because I desire to work with trainers who are like minded who wish to collaborate and share thoughts and ideas on a frequent basis. So, I rely heavily on trainers such as you who share so freely. I have immersed myself in learning programming. I approach most things with a scientific mind (I taught math and science for 20 years). Here is my struggle- 95% of my clients only train 1x/week. Progress is happening, but it's very slow. My retention is very good, so I can observe said progress. The programming piece becomes confusing for me when they train 1x/week. How do you approach this client with programming? How do phase a once-a-weeker? Most all programming I encounter is set for clients who train 2-3 times/week. Any insight is greatly appreciated. From your #1 Fan in Atlanta!!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for all your support! Great question-phasing for a 1x weeker is going to be a lot slower. Depending on whether you’re programming for them for outside of your sessions (and whether they actually do it…), you might be able to follow a normal progression but for the most part, you’ll just have to extend everything longer. If someone is really only working out 1x per week, phasing them “on time” really isn’t as necessary. They just need to make progress-see if you can increase weights/sets/reps every few sessions to make sure they’re consistently growing.

Have you had clients that are at both sides of the spectrum with levels and intensity? Say, the general health client most often referenced here but also, the client training for competition (wellness, physique, etc), or serious powerlifters, and so on? It would be awesome if you did a video on your experience with these types of clients. I have general wellness clients and clients with limitations, I am SUPER new as a personal trainer. Under 6 months. I was just wondering when it comes to the communication part and honestly the... intensity I put into the coach-client dynamic, myself? I feel like the relationship with my clients now is much more casual, and that is great! But is that okay? Should I be more "coach-ey" to them? I.e. intense. Sorry if that was confusing! I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thanks for the support! Ya I’ve had some more extreme clients as well! I’ve worked with pretty competitive marathoners. I’ve trained a few somewhat serious strength competitors as well!

Great vid currently binging your vids as preparation. If you start training say a male 18-25 and his only interest is hypertrophy would it make sense to skip the previous phases and go straight onto the hypertrophy phase and build up the weight slowly session by session while improving form and giving the clients body enough time to adapt. Then proceed onto a strength phase then back to a hypertrophy phase and repeat etc? Or Linear periodization? When I started training in my teens I was skinny and just wanted some abs, bigger shoulders and biceps with more strength while staying lean. I booked a session with a PT and he ended giving me a light endurance workout. I was frustrated, bored and thought it was a waste of time because online I saw people doing 8-10 reps lifting heavy etc so I never booked a PT again and learned it all online and just started doing my own workouts. I'd like to give people the results they want asap while making sure they have good form

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

That’s how I would generally do it..depending somewhat on whether or not he’s ever trained before. The only thing I wouldn’t necessarily do is increase weight each session…only when RIR is right where I want it to be. But yes, you’re right. The training style can adapt with the client age wise/ability wise/etc.

[@molestant]

Great video. One question and I hope hope I gonna define it on a good way. So every faze is 18 training sessions, are you splitting or choosing exercises based on how many time client can exercise per week or? How you decide which group of exercise is for that day, split pull/ push, whole body , lower / upper based on how many times client coming or goal is "catch" little bit of everything? thanx

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Good question! The training split I choose does depend on a few things. The clients goals, how many times a week their coming in, and their experience level. I start most clients off with total body sessions. If I think it would benefit the client, I might switch to a upper/lower body split or push, pull, legs split. It all depends on the person. If a client is canceling often, or they’re inconsistent, stick with total body every time.

[@mortiferozgaming2281]

A question, you said that doing the same exercises becomes boring for the client which I can kinda understand, it’s fun to spice up things a bit, but if the main exercises just work best, and it’s unnecessary to introduce new movements, isn’t it just better to keep them? Like this the client can focus on keeping good form while progressively increasing the weight. Thanks for the video!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

There’s definitely a middle ground that you’re trying to achieve when working with most gen pop clients. You should be doing the most effective exercises often, but you want some variety to keep things interesting. Remember, most regular people aren’t interested in being able to back squat 500 pounds. You still want them to squat often, because it’s a good move, but they probably don’t need to squat as often as a powerlifter.

[@GrachelleTecson]

Thanks for this very informative video! How many weeks do you usually allot per phase? Thanks!

[@SortaHealthyTrainerEducation]

Thank you! I appreciate that! Each phase is 18 sessions long. So typically they’ll be 6-9 weeks long
