Sorry I should have been more specific. Yes in North America, we do have equality. I cannot speak for other countries, as I have only been to Iraq, Kuwait and for only like an hour long break in Ireland and Germany. But yes in America, we certainly are as close to equal as we can get. And interestingly we never address the…

Yeah I was in the military, which means that I defended EVERY SINGLE RIGHT that you enjoy and take for granted. You even have the right to be ungrateful about that. And no I don't ignore REAL facts. I ignore BULL****!

We have as close to equality as we will likely get. Men and women are different. They have different characteristics and biologically they are very different. And women would undoubtedly hold more CEO positions if they didn't take breaks to have children, if they put off having children. I am not saying that they have to,…

Lol limited experience? I spent 7 years in the military. When it comes to virtually all things military, I am a subject matter expert certainly compared to you. You have never served in the military. Only 1% of the U.S. population has, so those are the only ones who truly have a knowledgeable opinion on goings on within…

How so?
-
Sorry, I go more with personal experience, ESPECIALLY when it comes to the military. Because the media will NOT have anything good to say about the military, that is just a fact. That is why my squad leader/section chief told us not to talk to the media at all when we deployed, because they will spin every word around to…

You aren't a second class citizen. You can vote, you can work, go to school (hell 60% of ALL students in college are FEMALE and that number is growing), you have just as many rights as I do. So I don't know what you are complaining about. I have likely faced more discrimination for being half black than you have for being…

Nobody is forcing you to have children, it is your choice. That is my point. For instance, I made the choice to not re-enlist in the army, because I wanted to see what I could do as a civilian and go to school...if you want to make as much as men with all things being equal, then having children will get in the way of your…

And some women are coming home with PTSD as well. Hell on the service connected disability claims, many people are just trying to put that down because it is something like an automatic 50% disability or 100% disability claim or something.

MP's are a technically a combat mos. We had female combat medics, so it's not like they aren't in combat roles at all. And you are wrong about the females passing the marines fitness test. It was in the news about how 55% aren't even passing the newly revised fitness test that more accurately compares to their male…

Well actually I am not an MRA, I just hate being scrutinized for being born a male. And the wage gap thing is a myth that has long since been debunked. If you want to make more money work more hours (men on average work 2-4 more hours weekly than women), don't take sick leave or maternity leave (women take more sick leave…

And also saying that it is less strength and physically driven is ridiculous when you consider that when I was in Iraq I (not a computer) was jumping out of a helicopter and running towards a house with my platoon to clear it. And in combat mos's (I know at least in the army), you do A LOT of physical activity. Hell I was…

Really? Show me how and where they are signing up quickly to combat positions? I was actually in the military and just got out last year, so between the two of us I am the subject matter expert on the military. And as far as the rape goes, rape is a very difficult thing to prove, seeing as many times the accused will admit…

Women can be in combat, they just have to be physically and mentally fit enough to do so. And most are not. The vast majority are not. They can legally be in them now though and hopefully the army forces them to meet the male standards the way the marines are trying to make it happen. Because it's funny how so many women…

What I find funny is how you want to be treated as equals until it comes to paying the bill or being on the front line during war. Every right I have I have actually earned. And I (and my fellow military veterans and current military personnel) have earned your rights for you as well. So if you enjoy being able to say…

Oy, I hate that saying. Being someone of mixed race (half black and half white) and being mistaken for being Hispanic, I find a statement like that so redundant in this day and age. Hell the Caucasian American population is decreasing to that of being a minority in this country anyways with it being so diverse. And I…

Gaining wait is easy for many people.....when the weight gain is fat. But for most people, gaining a significant amount of muscle is one of if not the most difficult fitness goal, one can have. Certainly more so than losing weight...this site will help keep you accountable by providing a food log app, but you will need to…

Whichever is your preference. Many people lack the enzyme lactase, so they may shy away from whey and casein (the milk proteins), in favor of soy (plant based protein), however they now make some whey protein products and possibly casein, with little to no lactose. Vegetarians often go the route of soy depending on if…

As a personal trainer, I find it offensive to group all personal trainers together and say that they can't be trusted or that they are all bad. Yes a lot are bad but you can find good ones as well. The best ones usually find their own private studio to train at after spending a little time at a commercial gym to gain…

Powerblock dumbbells are adjustable and they seem to work well. I have used them with clients and even tried lifting them myself and they don't seem to awkward even though they are like weighted rectangles lol but it would provide different levels of resistance to keep it fresh for you.

It is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is used to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by having Creatine Phosphate(CP) aka Phosphocreatine (PC) donate a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate(ADP) to convert it to ATP. ATP only will last for 10 seconds but replenishes rather quickly. It is the main…

Generally, studies have been done that err against doing static stretching (normal holding a stretch for 30 seconds) before a strength workout or sporting event as it has been found to decrease strength. The point of static stretching is to stimulate the Golgi tendon organs to autogenically inhibit the muscle spindles…

As a trainer, I am offended by what another poster said about trainers getting in the way, actually we can help people to achieve their goals, as knowledge is power in the fitness world. But to the OP, those are excellent numbers, keep up the good work and get those deadlift numbers up there. If grip is a problem, I would…

Actually a few of those are true.

You can go to personaltrainercentral.com, as a lot of us trainers are on there looking for clients and they in turn use it to look for trainers.

Well ISSA, NASM, NSCA, ACSM, and ACE are pretty much accepted anywhere, with few exceptions.

Just be sure to get either the CFT/CPT before getting the specializations. So you can get hired right away if that is your goal.
