Geez I am not even ready that. I was not arguing with the guy. I was just asking.Not to sound like a complete dick, but anyone who trusts a piece of paper over results doesn't understand what that paper represents. I don't have a college degree and constantly reminded of that yet I'm keeping my job right compared to undergrads and graduate degrees because I can execute the tasks. That piece of paper shows I could read a book and take a test, it does nothing to show that I can implement what I learned in class into the real world.
I was a competitive endurance athlete before some life altering injuries. People constantly post on social media asking about running a (half) marathon and it's to the point that I'll copy/paste a basic workout from some training coach with PhD and world records to their athletes names, and it gets dismissed when people ask me where I got my certification. Forget that I plagiarized the best damn training program, they ignore it because who it came from. Weeks/months later I post the same training program and give credit to the coach and post his credentials and everyone thanks me for the amazing workout plan that got them through a marathon. It's stupid shit like that why I don't coach anyone, they don't care what the actual content is, or the recorded accomplishments I have, they only care what paper is hanging on your wall.
My daily runs were around 9 miles, tack on another 4 and that's a half marathon, but somehow I can't be trusted to get someone across the finish line with what I know because I'm not a certified trainer?
When it comes to brewing how the hell do you manage? your not a chemist, hell I'm not a chemist but I laid out every single thing you needed and included all the math to get you a perfect brew in all your threads in the homebrew section. You never asked me what my certifications were, you trusted my experience and past results to get you through brewing multiple compounds. Why/How is Mac being certified going to change the end results for your fitness goals if my lack of chemistry degree didn't change your mind on taking my brewing advice?

I do however appreciate the help you have gave me.
I was simply asking questions and betttering my understanding so whoever took it as argumentative, thats not what I was getting at.
I agree 100 percent. But many people don't listen and its hard to get them to understand the benfits of what you are trying to help them do.

My old training partner had his bachelors of science in Kinesiology. Comparatively, I have no formal education outside of a high school diploma (yeah, I know, but I'm fixing this soon).
Despite this, I was the one leading the training, every single aspect of it, his job was to just execute what I had planned and give feedback so things could be adjusted on the fly as needed.
My point is, he had far more "credibility" than me. But, if he was leading the training and not myself, he would not have added 35-40lbs of BW within 4-6 months and been Incline benching 315 on his first cycle.
The human body is not a finely engineered Swiss watch, it's an imperfect biological entity that operates within ranges and normalities. You don't need 4 years of school and a TI-82 graphing calculator to manipulate it, you need practical experience foremost.
Something to think about ツ
On an unrelated note thought I would mention I am still working with @MacBuilt and things are going excellent so far, I believe we are on week 12. Off-season blast started almost 8 weeks ago. Up 14lbs from start of blast. VERY mild amount of gear as well. I will be continuing with his services for another 3 months when the time comes to re-up in a couple weeks.

Hey guys,
This is a reminder that sometimes the thing to do is to do nothing. I can sense the lack of interest in replies when the results of a check-in is making no changes. But sometimes there’s no reason to make changes. Just stick with it; i promise there’s a reason.

Where the fuck are my muffins Mac?!?
Kidding, I’m not really a muffin fan. Actually haven’t been adverse to anything in the diet these past 4 months.

Member here at Meso; he can identify himself if he wants but I was cleared to post.
203lbs > 176lbs >187lbs
Leaner. Eating more. Growing. Feeling noticeably better. Working together for a while now, just 6 weeks into a light cycle at this point. Hard work, and following the plan

17 weeks. 205 to 184 on the scale closer to 30lbs of fat-loss
Never hungry, in fact some times I just felt stuffed as the scale dropped and mirror changed.
Never left wondering where my coach ran off to or what he was planning for me. Took about 3 weeks to get through all the formalities and understanding what the plan and direction was. Since then it’s just been checking in twice a week and not worrying about anything as we made small adjustments (some weeks we didn’t need to adjust anything)
I’ll certainly be working with Mac again for a big bulk as soon as blood work comes back good to cycle, and then again for a cut. Until then I’ll be playing around with diet and training to see what I can apply from this session.

Glad to have had you on man. Worked your ass off, stuck to the plan, communication was great, and only a low dose blast was involved. Any questions you know I’m here to help.

I read Mac's entire log and never noticed this thread before. I just clicked over here when I cut and pasted the address of this thread from his signature line.
Outstanding.
