The stabilizing muscle groups would be your rotator cuff, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis, also referred to as the sits muscles. At show up, you need to be able to name the 17 muscles of the shoulder, not find the right answers on a piece of paper. You have to say them and show us where they're at. That's why we have the best certification, fastest growing in 2025. But again, I don't have billions of dollars to market to get in front of you. So you're stuck hearing my annoying ass voice. I apologize, but I do and guarantee you, you will pass this test. Welcome to the Show Up Fitness Podcast, where great personal trainers are me. We are changing the fitness industry one qualified trainer at a time with our in-person and online personal training certification. If you want to become an elite personal trainer, head on over to showupfitness.com. Also make sure to check out my book, How to Become a Successful Personal Trainer. Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review. Have a great day and keep showing up. Howdy, y'all. Welcome back to the Show Up Fitness podcast. Today we're going to help you pass the ISSA CPT. Because you came across the SUF CPT a little too late. You're outside of that seven-day refund policy and you're stuck with a 200 question multiple choice exam. Don't worry, the belt buckle trainer will help you pass this. We've helped over 6,000 people pass these textbooks. They're super easy. They're not going to make you successful. They may land you a job at LA Fitness 24 hour, but you need to master the fundamentals, how to program on the fly, how to assess clients in pain, how to make multiple streams of revenue and charge$100 plus dollars per hour. And that's what we teach you at the SUF CPT. But let's help you fly through this as quickly as you can because time is money. I do not want you wasting months on out reading a textbook. We are personal trainers. I'm going to read you a great quote from Gary V. Everyone's heard of him, has some awesome books and YouTubes. It's very, very hard to get good at swimming without swimming. It's very hard to get good at cooking by watching unlimited content about cooking and reading cooking books. You must cook. We have to go to the field and do. You gotta show up. If you want to be great at personal training, you need hands-on learning. You need someone to challenge you. Why in the holy fuck are you doing a stability ball squat curl press? That's a stupid exercise. Did a client come in and say, Hey, Chris, today I want to get on a BOSU ball or stability ball and act like a circus animal. No. So tell me why you're doing that. Why are you doing exercises A, B, C, and D? Why are you doing straight sets? You need to have critical thought on the why behind your programming. That's what the industry needs more of. I'm going to help you fly through this and the seven main topics that you're going to be quizzed on. Now, let me give you a little background about ISSA, established in 1988. Dr. Fred Hatfield, also referred to as Dr. Squat, absolute badass. His daughter was my professor at the University of Connecticut, Disa. She's also a badass. She's a hunket. He's a hunk. They had the intent of creating a certification where you can help people and do it properly. But as time unfolds and you get purchased by tail one investment and you get this capital coming in, you can invest a lot of money. And the intent from the get-go is probably not where it is now because stuff has been diluted. And I can't speak to the late Dr. Hatfield because he's no longer with us. But his intent when he started this in 1988 and where it's at now, in my professional opinion, this is why the industry has a bad rep. You have trainers that go out there and just read a textbook and then anecdotally they're training people. And you need to do better. You need to raise that bar, hands-on learning, what's going to separate you from the average trainer. 90% quit within that first year. That's why you want to get into a program like the SUF CPT, because it levels up all your skills. We have some of the top case examples. Last year, we had a kid at Lifetime make$355,000 for the gym. He brought in significantly more than$150. That's the 1%. We are the 1%, and we want you to be the 1%. But to pass this exam, you need to know your anatomy and kinesiology, exercise science and physiology, client assessments, program design, nutrition basics, special populations, and the business and professional practice. I'm going to go through each one of these. I'll give you some quiz examples so you can just focus on these seven. You do not need to read the textbook or the online stuff. I don't encourage you to go to QuizLint and look at other YouTubes because am I biased? Yes, because I will help you pass this as quickly as you can. You have that sunk cost fallacy. You want to read the whole book, but personal training is not a textbook. You need guided supervision for your experience. That's the most important one. Go back and listen to the podcast I did with Luca, one of the best I've done, has the most downloads as well in the shortest period of time because he is a coach of 20 years and he's telling you what it takes. And not once did he mention any of these textbook certifications. Hands-on learning, investing into your skills, surrounding yourself by the 1% is going to make you the 1%. So, what do you need to know for anatomy and kinesiology? You need to know the planes of motion. I'm not going to get into much of that right now because I've done numerous other ones: sagittal, frontal, transverse, no exercises for each. A pull-up, where would that go? That's going to be your frontal plane of motion. If I'm sprinting, where's that? Sagittal. When in doubt, go there. Transverse is going to be throwing, any type of rotation, a chest fly, reverse fly. You need to know the joint actions. When I say flexion, what does that technically mean? It's decreasing the angle at a joint. If my arm is straight in the anatomical position that is supinated, and I flex my elbow, I'm doing a bicep curl. I've gone from 180 to roughly 60 degrees. I flex that elbow concentrically. Extension is the opposite. We're probably more familiar with that because we do tricep extensions in the gym, knee extensions, it's going to be for the quads. Abduction is in the frontal plane. That's taking away like a lateral raise. A deduction is adding to the midline. Like when I do a lap pull down or a pull-up, my humerus, the largest upper body bone, is adducting to the midline. I have external and internal rotation. External rotation, if I am pretending to stand in sand, right now we got these Santa Ana winds and Santa Monica, it's blowing like holy hell out there. Imagine your feet are in the sand and you drive your knees out. That is external rotation. Internal rotations when you come in or the dreaded knee valgus, not nearly as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. It can be advantageous for getting out of that squat position because your adductors are a very strong muscle and they are engaged when you do a squat, more so than the hamstrings, but that's a whole nother podcast. Major muscle actions. So when I say gluteus maximus, we all know where that is, but what do the glutes do? You need to know they extend, which is coming behind the body, they abduct in the frontal plane, they externally rotate, but they also posteriorly tilt. I just did an Instagram post showing the importance of pelvic position. If you put a belt buckle behind your client's low back, because I know you all wear one, keeping it nice and flat while you're doing shoulder flexion, which is bringing your arms above head, because we should be able to get to about 160 degrees, which is the equivalent of your thumb touching the floor behind you when you are in a supine position, which is looking up. That's optimal shoulder mechanics. If your pelvis is anteriorly rotating, you're creating artificial humoral flexion. And we don't want that. We should know what the lats do. They die hard. Dr. Waterbury, one of the physical therapists on our team. We have lots of therapists on our team. Dr. Farnsworth, the prehab guys, surround yourself by the best if you want to be the best. And so one of the things that he talked about, Dr. Waterberry, die harder what the lats do. So the first D is depression of the scapula. The I is going to be internal rotation in the transverse plane. The E is extension, like when you're doing cable rows, that would be a sagittal exercise. H, horizontal abduction with a pronated grip. That is doing T-bar rows. A, adduction, as I said earlier, doing a lap pull down. R, retraction to the scapula. And the last D is going to be downward rotation. When you're doing that pull-up, your humerus is adducting. The reason I say AD, because if I say it fast, adduction, abduction, you're like, what the hell is this crazy cycle talking about? A D is coming down, but then also the scapula is downwardly rotating. And the last thing the lats help with are forced exhalation. Ah, ha, breathing out. Make sure you don't have smelly ass breath because that's one of the first things your clients won't tell you. Excuse me, Mr. Trainer, I'm not going to sign up because your breast stinks like horseshit. They're just going to say this session's too expensive. Or let me think about it. I got to go talk to my significant other. It's because of your professionalism and how you present yourself. You show up on time with a great handshake, you smile. That's how you build your book of business. Know the main patterns of movement and the agonist, antagonist, and synergist associated with it. So when I do a squat at the knee, the agonist is my quads. At the hip, the agonist is the glutes because of hip extension. The synergist during a squat for the textbook is going to be your hamstrings. The antagonist is the opposite. I'm sitting down during this podcast right now. I'm in a flexed position. When I stand up, my glutes are going to be concentrically accelerating femoral extension. The antagonist are my hip flexors, which we have your rectus femoris, your ileo psoas, which is your iliacus and your psoas major. Those are the opposite. So when I'm sitting down in a flexed position, my glutes are not working that much. We don't own true hip extension, which is like 10 to 15 degrees. Maybe that's why we have low back issues. It could be, but there's numerous issues based off of the biopsychosocial model of pain. And those are things that we address with our level two seminars with our partnership with Lifetime and Equinox. We go to the best gyms in the world and we help level up their trainers. Get to one of those seminars, you're going to be in that 1%. When I do a hip hinge, like a deadlift, that's going to be your glutes as the agonist, the synergist will be your erector spinae, as your low back muscles. The antagonist would also be your psoas major or those hip flexors. When I do a unilateral pattern, like a lunge, what is happening at the hip? I'm extending. The glutes are going to be the main mover there. As well as the other two lower body patterns, the antagonist would be your hip flexors. Upper body push in the transverse plane, like when I'm doing a push-up, that's going to be your pec major as your agonist. The synergist at the elbow would be your triceps, also at the humerus, your anterior deltoid. The stabilizing muscle groups would be your rotator cuff, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, terrace minor, subscapularis, also referred to as the sits muscles. At show up, you need to be able to name the 17 muscles of the shoulder, not find the right answers on a piece of paper. You have to say them and show us where they're at. That's why we have the best certification. Fastest growing in 2025. But again, I don't have billions of dollars to market to get in front of you. So you're stuck hearing my annoying ass voice. I apologize, but I do and guarantee you, you will pass this test. While you're doing a pushup, your scapula is protracting. So therefore, your serratus anterior would be synergistically helping with that movement. Whereas when I do a bench press, I want to lock down my scapula. So your serratus anterior would not be involved when you're doing a bench press. Nearly as much, if we want to get to semantics. When we look at an overhead press, the agonist would be your anterior and medial deltoid. The synergist would be your triceps as well as the upper and lower trapezius and serratus anterior because of upward rotation of your scapula. When I'm pulling down on the frontal plane, lap pull down, we have downward rotation of the scapula, which is going to be your rhomboids, which are going to be synergistic. We have the biceps being synergistic at the elbow, but the lats are the main mover or the agonist. The opposite movement is the muscle group that would you would be performing. What I mean by that is when I do a lap pull down, the opposite is a military press. Therefore, the deltoids, when I do a lat pull down, are the antagonist. Antagonist, think of Romeo and Juliet to both, the bad family, the opposite of the good. Antagonist just means the opposite. When I do a horizontal pull, like a bent over row with a pronated grip, knuckles up, that's going to be in the transverse plane. Horizontal ABduction, the agonist would be your laptissimus dorsi and your posterior deltoid. The synergist would be your biceps and your rhomboids because of retraction. Those are your main patterns of movement with the agonist synergist and stabilizing, as well as the antagonist. You should know your fiber types, type one versus type two. When I do things for local muscular endurance, 10 plus repetitions, that is gonna be type one motor unit recruitment. You should know that term and flashcard it. A motor unit is a motor neuron and all the associated muscle fibers that it innervates. That's Henneman's size principle. Check that sucker out to better understand recruitment patterns. When I do something that's heavy, fast, and explosive, maximal, that's type two recruitment. Muscles are going to be a combination. It's not just purely one or the other. Let's take an example, like your glutes. They're going to be more type two, like 54%, but you do have type one muscle fibers in there. Genetics play the biggest role and also orientation and proximity, or if the muscles are distal within the body. Proximal means closest to the point of origin. Distal is going to be furthest away. When we take a look at the pectoralis major, that's more type two. The proximal portion where it originates is going to be the sternum. That's your chest bone. As you can hear me poking on it, I had some older brothers and they'll pin me down and hit that xiphoid process. Holy shit, you'd scream like, holy hell. And that's how I got screamers' nodules when I was in fourth grade. Mom, help me! Mom, mom, ah, I was a little baby trying to get my brothers off me. That's the only way I can do it. Mom had to come in and kick their ass. I was screaming, but the distal part of your sternum is going to be your xiphoid process. The origin is where the muscle starts and where it ends is going to be the humerus, where it's more freely moving. The distal region is where it inserts. When you look at your gastrocnemius, that is a biarticulate, that means it crosses two joints, the knee and the ankle. It works with knee flexion, as when you're doing leg curls, your calves can get sore. But also when you plant our flex, the gastroc is primarily type two. The soleus, which is underneath or deep, will be primarily type one. When we get into the science and physiology, energy systems. No ATP PC, also referred to as creatin phosphate, glycolysis, that's the middle range. And then you have oxidative, where we're going to use more fatty acids. Carbs are going to be more fast and explosive. That's type two. Type one is going to be primarily fat utilization, longer duration, three plus minutes. If it's short, zero to 10 seconds, that's pure ATP, adenosin triphosphate. When we break that down, we produce adenosin diphosphate. Two means die. And then we're going to create more ATP by binding to createin phosphate, which is an organic molecule within the system. If it's 10 to roughly 30 seconds, that's going to be creatin phosphate. If you're doing work from 30 seconds to roughly 90 seconds, that's called fast glycolysis. Slow glycolysis would be two minutes to three minutes, whereas oxidation would be three plus minutes. Think of how long can you potentially do something for. Even if it is really challenging, you have to look at the duration and intensity, the two most important parts when it comes to bioenergetics. What I mean by that is the world record for a mile right now is 343. Holy shit, that is freaking flying. But because it's past three minutes, it's primarily fatty utilization. That would be oxidative type one recruitment. When I go out there and do a full-blown sprint, maximal, that's type two recruitment, primarily carbs, and that's going to be your ATP PC system. Muscle contractions, as I talked about earlier. Concentric is shortening the muscle. When I do a bicep curl, I'm overcoming gravity. I'm pulling the dumbbell to my chest. That is a concentric action. Ecentric is easier. That's when the muscle lengthens. I'm stronger eccentrically. Isometric is probably optimal when it comes to injuries, but it is good to take the muscle through a full range of motion, which means full concentric, full eccentric. When you hold that is isometric. Think of a plank. You are challenging your anterior core and your posterior chain when you're doing that exercise. It is isometric. You may have a question on gas, not when you take a little fart. I'm talking about general adaptation syndrome. The first phase is the alarm. You're going to have resistance and then exhaustion. Exhaustion is when you're going to get overtraining. When we look at client assessments, you're going to have some type of postural assessment. It's all a bunch of malarkey, but they want you to scare your clients and say, oh my God, you got upper crossing and your shoulders are flaring in. Don't say that. Don't scare people. Maybe that's why the average trainer closes at 25%. That's not you. Become successful and don't scare people with their movement. You teach them what they want. When a client comes in and they want a caboose train, we're going to squat, hinge, jump, do unilateral exercises with the appropriate overload. When you're a beginner, the first month, it's primarily neurological adaptations. We're not going to put on a lot of hypertrophy. So that's why we want to lift lighter loads to optimize neuromuscular recruitment, the competency of the movement, and make sure the connective tissue is going to adapt because that is avascular. Avascular means without oxygen. So when we do 10 plus reps, we're allowing for the ligaments and tendons to get stronger because the muscle, it's like a bully. It can do a one rep max, but we don't want to get injured. If we can't own that movement, when you start going heavy with the beginner, that's how you get hurt. So look at the screening for an overhead squat assessment. If your knees buckle in, we got a foam roll and stretch. If you don't do that, you're going to die. And then you're going to help strengthen the opposite muscles or the antagonist. If your knees buckle in, your ductor is overactive, or your glutes are underactive, and we want to strengthen those. Resting heart rate, that's how many times your heart is beating per minute. We should be between roughly 60 to 70. The average in the United States is about 80. Men typically have a lower resting heart rate, around 60 or 70, where ladies will have 70 to 80. The smaller the individual, the higher the resting heart rate. Babies will come out of the womb at a 200 plus, but as you grow, it's going to go down a lot because it doesn't have to work as hard to get to the rest of the body. Hummingbirds, those little fuckers, it's like 300 beats per minute. I'm probably completely off on that one. I think it's even more. That sucker is beaten very, very, very rapidly. The bigger the organism, the less amount of work the heart has to do. When we look at resting heart rate, blood pressure as well. No, that top number is systolic. We want that to be under 140. The bottom number is diastolic. We want that to be under 90. If it's above either or one of those numbers, that's what's called hypertension, the silent killer. 140 and/or 90, that's going to be hypertensive. You should know what VO2 max is. That's the body's maximal oxygen uptake. That's a question you should get to see definitely on the exam. When it gets into program design, they're not going to give you a program and break it down and have you write one out. No, that's what great trainers do. They're going to ask you something about sets, reps, maybe periodization, micro cycle is the smallest, usually within a week or a day. Mesocycle is going to be the month. Macro cycle is the big picture, usually every four years. Could be a question about your client is preparing for the next Olympics, which is going to be in four years. What cycle within periodization is that? That's the macro cycle, big picture. For beginners, we want to start light, less sets, more reps, own the competency. As you get stronger, you're going to adapt that tissue and you're going to get into that neuromuscular range for strength, which is one to five reps, six to twelve reps is hypertrophy, and then 12 plus is local muscular endurance. That's still being used today, but as we know, tension is the key driver for muscle hypertrophy. You need to make sure you're coming very, very close to volitional fatigue. So you stress that tissue, and then via muscle protein synthesis and what you're consuming protein-wise, it's going to adapt and get stronger when we sleep. When we look at nutrition basics, you don't need to know a lot on this because they're going to try to sell you on some bullshit nutrition certification. Make sure to read another textbook and talk about nutrition within your session and don't get paid for it. Don't do that. That's why we have our nutrition coaching certification taught by an RD where you actually learn to network with RDs and then drive over$30,000 in annual revenue because you should talk about nutrition, but not within the training session. It's additional. You should charge for it. That's what we teach at Show Up Fitness. It's going to be$250,$500 plus per month to work with me and my team of registered dietitians. You're going to learn the basics, the macros. 10 to 35% of your daily consumption should come from protein, of which the basic unit is going to be the amino acids. Every gram of protein is four calories. It's called the fuel factor. You don't need to know the specific aminos. They could ask you about the branch chains, isoleucine, leucine, and valine. That would be a pretty advanced question. The percentages are what they're really going to target. For fat, 20 to 35%, of which no more should be coming from saturated fat. The fuel factor is nine calories per gram. And the basic unit is fatty acids. For carbs, broken down into sugar and fiber. Men should be getting close to 40 grams of fiber per day. Ladies should be getting close to 30. The basic unit is going to be a monosaccharide, of which we have glucose, fructose, and galactose. Every gram is going to be four calories. We also have alcohol as a macronutrient because it provides calories. One gram is seven. I'm not telling you to go out there and pound a bottle of whiskey, but if you want to send me a nice bottle of basil hazens or maybe get in some papy bandwinkle, I will never say no. Send that to our Santa Monica gym. Stop on by, I'll take you through a session, drink some whiskey, have a great day, flex a little bit, show off our calves and biceps. I appreciate whiskey. There's nothing wrong with a little bit. It's all moderation. It is a carcinogen. It's not good for you by any means. But if you've had a long work week and your stress is through the roof, having a drink within reason is okay. You have to understand that from a trainer perspective. Because if you say, never drink, never smoke, that's bad, you're going to die. Your clients are going to look at you like a fucking weirdo. They're not going to tell you when they drink, they're not going to tell you when they smoke. And the result are impacted because of it, because you've not set a clear psychological understanding of what success and transparency within your communication looks like. Know those macronutrients, know the micronutrients, which are going to be vitamins and minerals, and then water. It's all you really need to know for nutrition. They may ask you a question about supplements. Just know the basics. Hydration, 13 glasses of water for men, roughly nine for females. Don't get it some other textbook certification. Work with actual humans, not call centers or any type of AI, actual humans, because our career is a personal trainer. Special populations are going to throw some curveballs at you. What is diabetes? Type one, that's going to be onset childhood. You usually get that before age 10. That's going to be where your cells do not make insulin. Insulin is produced in the pancreas. If you cannot produce it, you are a type one diabetic and you need a shot. Type two is self-induced via exercise, nutrition, not sleeping well, stress habits. 90% of the cases are type two. It's referred to as insulin resistant. So when you drink some carbs or you eat some carbs and your blood glucose levels shoot up, the cells don't recognize insulin. So it keeps on pumping out more of it. Not a good thing. You should be working with a doctor. That's a metabolic disease, something you refer out to, as well as thyroid issues. That's a metabolic disease. You do not work with clients who have pulmonary disease, metabolic disease, or cardiac disease. That's when we refer out to the professional and you get that checked out. If you were to find a client that has tachycardia, a resting heart rate greater than 100, you need to refer them out to their medical practitioner. Maybe see something about BMI and obesity greater than 30, 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. Normal range is 18.5 to 24.9. With older adults, we're going to want to lower the volume. Volume is going to be sets times reps. So I'm not going to be doing five sets of 25 with Bertha, who's 93 years old. You want to do one to two. Make sure to incorporate maybe some peripheral heart action, which is doing an upper body exercise like a banded press, followed by a body weight squat, which is going to be the lower body. That's going to help the heart pump blood of the upper body and then to the lower body, which helps strengthen the heart and also lower blood pressure. Make sure not to have a client do a push-up and then hop right up and do a bunch of jumping jacks because they could get a little lightheaded and woozy. And the last thing you want is Bertha to fall over, crack her head, crush her skull, or jack up her hip and die. No, that's final destination. Shit right there. Always go through worst-case scenarios. That stuff actually happens. Rhabdomyoliasis, doing too much on your client, and they can die from that because they break down the muscle and your kidneys can't filtrate it. Holy shit, yes, we can hurt people. Number one rule do no harm. And it's unfortunate because trainers out of the bad rep, because they are doing harm. Don't be that average trainer. You're going to see about 10% on business and professional practices stuff. What's in our scope? How many CEUs you should be getting every two years, 2.0, which is roughly 20 hours. You go to one of our seminars, two days, you're gonna get 1.0 or 10 hours of continuing education for your certification, but that's gonna level you up and put you in that 1% and get you thinking bigger. We've had so many students and trainers that will come to those are charging 60, 70 bucks, and they leave charging 150. The ROI, the return on that investment is so significant, you have to have that growth mindset. You are investing into your future. The first 10 years of your career, you got to be learning every single freaking day. Learn as much as you can. Those next 10 years, that's when you start making a lot. You start charging 150, 200 plus per hour because you are worth it because of your team. You have a physical therapist, you have a registered dietitian. You can absolutely turn this into a career, but you have to think and be around the one percenters, not the victim trainers on Reddit saying, oh, get your NASMA ISSA and just study and just do that for a year, and you're gonna be good to go. No, you need to be around the best if you want to become the best. Hopefully, you found today's podcast helpful. Throw this into your story, leave a five-star review. We'll send you over the ISSA cheat sheet. We have a study guide on the website. ISSA is within the same realm of NASA Manace. We've helped so many people pass this. The study guide is less than 100 pages. It's 99 bucks. It's gonna save you so much time, relieve stress. And we also have our guaranteed, our qualified trainer package. We're for$799, you're gonna get$500 plus of resources to pass. You get tutoring. We will help quiz you so you can answer it how the test wants you to answer it, pass it. But then more importantly, you get to go to a seminar. And that seminar, I guarantee you, in two days, you will learn more than any textbook certification out there, money back guaranteed. And on top of that, you're gonna turn in one of the success stories like we have it show up, where we have 23-year-olds making over$100,000. Last year, we had a 24-year-old who brought in 160, his first year of training. That's what we do. We are that 1%. But again, we don't have billions of dollars to invest, put all that marketing bullshit in front of you. I understand that sunk cost fallacy. You want to get through this? Get the guide. We got you covered. And remember, big biceps are better than small ones, they keep showing up.
