Peak Times: 6.00am - 10.30am 4.30pm - 8pm The same as any other 9-5 job with a long break in the middle to do whatever you want Lol I'm sorry but Brisbane and Canberra must be so different in terms of courses... We're doing Strength & Conditioning at the moment, focussing on Olympic Lifts. If we can't do them properly ourselves, we don't pass that unit. Squatting with a fit ball on your back up against a wall is a great way to learn how you should sink back into the squat while keeping your upper body upright. The average clients these days haven't even done barbell squats before so the fit ball is the best way to lead into barbell squats (not to mention some people just may not want to do squats). Not sure what your point is here This.

Oh man so much to cover. Kasko, previous education doesn't matter (ATAR scores and whatnot) but it does help if you take a real interest right now in doing some study on anatomy and nutrition. That said, you spend a whole semester on anatomy and nutrition ---> these are covered in cert iii. Just to clear things up, Cert iii is compulsory if you want to do Cert iv. There's no picking and choosing. Cert iii is to become a qualified gym instructor (you can do gym-floor work, run group exercise classes) whereas Cert iv is to become a qualified personal trainer (you can build a client base, etc.). From memory Cert iii is only around $800, and Cert iv is $1300. Pretty cheap considering any University course can roll into multiple thousands and even the AIF course (8 week course for both Cert iii & iv) sets you back a lot more for less knowledge lol. Yes, CIT qualifications will land you a job far easier than an AIF qualification. A large majority of AIF trainers are the ones that TTT is referring to that don't practice what they preach, and are just in it because they didn't know what else to do. A lot of the people doing the course with me at CIT though are quite the opposite. We adopt the fitness industry into our lifestyles, not just our income. Now not trying to stir anything up TTT, but your comment about "don't expect to make a decent living being a PT" is pretty far off the mark depending on how you approach it. It depends on how many hours you want to work... Many CIT qualified trainers can and regularly do charge around the 70-80$ mark per hour session, and if you go on to do your Diploma in Fitness through CIT as well (another half a year), you easily command fees of 100-120$ per hour working with special pops/rehab clients. I don't know about the situation up there in Brisbane, but down here in Canberra people fork out tons of cash on PT's. Simply put, depending on the amount of hours you want to work, it isn't unheard of nor rare to be making a salary of $100,000 after tax ---> subtract living costs of $20,000, you're getting $80,000 a year. For someone that is 19 years old like myself, I will be on a salary of $50,000 bare minimum as soon as my course is completed. Yes, your body is your business image, but you don't have to be the biggest guy around to make big money. Not everyone is trying to get huge or strong, so that's a very narrow minded approach from anyone who claims that. Kasko, you say you're on $21 per hour? How many hours per week do you work? I guarantee if you set your mind to it you'll make a lot more than you currently are. Lastly, has anyone actually considered the Group Fitness side of things? Running circuit classes and boot camps isn't hard, and most people will charge around 15-20$ per person (this amount of money is running classes for public servants at lunch for example). You get 10 people, you've just made $150-200 for around 45 mins work, and this is on the lower end of the scale. Do a couple of these per week along with training your clients and it all adds up.

it had to be done...

I'm currently at CIT doing my cert iv in Fitness and Personal Training (already completed my cert iii earlier on in the year). Started the course as a whole in February from memory, and now I'm due to finish in the last week of November. It's a long course, but so worth it if you're keen on the whole fitness career thing. Happy to answer any questions.

Wow that's so nice ^^. Are those Tommy Kaira front fenders? Was reading through your car diary and you mentioned it was going to be up for sale?

Yeah... sorry man but BB.com is in no way a go-to source for workouts. It is by far the biggest collection of bro-science on the web, and you will end up looking like a gorilla with all the anterior chain work in their programs.

Price? Pics?

The hail damage is no problem, insurance covers that. All I have to worry about is the respray itself.

Hey guys, So Dad is looking at fixing hail damage on the 34gtt, and I figure it's about time for a respray and some new wheels as well. Seeing as these extras are coming out of my pocket, I'd like to do it once and do it right, so I figure I should gain all the advice possible. 1. Roughly how much can I expect to be paying for a basic (not bare shell) respray? I've heard around the 2-4G mark for same colour jobs? Would it be a lot more $$$ to turn the standard black respray into a very dark midnight purple-pearl type job? (looks black until the sun hits it, then appears a very dark purple) 2. So far I'm thinking of getting Varrstoen 2.2.1 (te37 style) rims, but I'm thinking of going fairly aggressive in fitment. I want to roll and flare the guards out, but not sure how much to flare them? Ideally the fitment I want to run is 18x9.5 +22 front, 18x10.5 +22 rear. Would this be a +20mm flare in order to eliminate any chance of scrubbing? I don't want to run overly ridiculous tyre stretch either, thinking of 255's on the rear and 235's front. The other option would be to run 18x9.5 +12 at the rear. 3. Where would you recommend taking the car to get the guard and paintwork done?

updates? keen to see pics fitted

wow that looks great

You will have to cut away the stock rear guards. The bolt on look (not molded) looks absolutely fine and quite aggressive, and it will save you a lot of money.

Buy a BB Gun. Next time some idiot tries to do this, wave it out the window Russian style

GymQuip in Fyshwick sell chalk. It's cheap as hell. I work there.

yeah, unless you train in a gym like Markos runs, sand gets all up in many different vaginas about chalk use.

Can't say I'm the biggest fan of hardstyle or whatever that's called, but no doubt it gets you pumped. My "shut up and squat song".... even the song wants me to stop bitching and do my set

You're opinion is a very good one on this topic. Overtraining is a lot harder to achieve than most people seem to think no matter what your training history is, because it's not a training-only related term. If you're eating well, sleeping well, and recovering well, smash out as much training as you want. Sounds like you took a truly great poo

Sell it and invest in property. Make some decent money, buy another one later on down the track when they'll be worth 30G. You can either be a 22 year old who only has a car to his name, or you can build on your wealth and have some other assets to your name and comfortably afford one later. I ain't even mad... nor 22 yet

Sorry Troy, I'll put some hairy men in there for you to drool over next time

Stereo 2012 brah! I'll see you there

Beautiful... miss seeing that car around back here in canberra because that paintwork is absolutely flawless

same error for me ^

did you actually just cut milk out completely? strongcalciumdeficiency/10

I prefer the new rims, but just curious as to why you said the GR6's had to go?
