Nothing fancy.
Breakfast was usually half cup of rice, 6oz chicken or ham or something similar and an egg or two.
Quest bars for snacks.
Dinner was maybe similar to breakfast or a variation of chicken. Chipotle and Subways was a regular part of my diet. Also cafe foods like paninis and salads.
All in all, I kept everything in moderation and tracked everything I ate and also weighed/measured everything.
Did cardio every gym session too.
Goal is to get a 6 pack, I have 4 so far.

This. I believe it has to do with your activity level and how much stress you put on your body through training .

I love Chipotle. I just used their nutrition calculator with 2X Chicken, white rice, black beans, tomato salsa, corn and guacamole. It came out to 890 calories.
I don't really mess with Subway.
I want to lose some weight in the new year. Probably switch up my diet to ground beef, steak, chicken, sweet potato, brown rice, vegetables, etc.
But my biggest goal is to regain some of my cardio and speed. I used to run a 21-22 three mile. After knee injury, I'm in the 26-27 range. I'd also like to increase my bench.

The ones that mean anything are. Also there is no money in personal training unless you have a **** load of clients and do more than just make programs.

I know a dude who retired from the military last year. He got his Cross Fit level one and some other personal training certification. Not a bad side gig at nights, etc.

You are in a coveted spot my friend.
Your gains will be fast and abundant enjoy them
Appreciate that, good sir.
I need to start doing cardio more as well. But I lost 34lbs with little to no cardio.

What he said. You have to have a steady stream of clients and those who are wiling to resign a lot to make money. Also to separate yourself you have to be competent when it comes to assessing where your client is and writing out a diet program to meet their goals. Training isn't hard for a lot of people, it's the diet that always gets everyone.
Also the NASM is usually recommended but there are cheaper alternatives if you're just looking to get into a gym as a trainer and get your feet wet.

Do a lot of gyms even employ dietitians? It seems pretty expensive to have their services.

ACE is the easiest. gyms don't pay **** but you can make good money privately especially if you do small group training.

When my boy retired from the Rangers he ran boot camps on the weekend as a side hustle. He made good money due to the size of the groups. He then moved into a small studio doing personal and small group training. A lot of couples want to get fit together and split the tab.

Ok so I used the pre jym this morning and I thought it worked pretty well. It definitely wasn't as amazing for me as many people on the bodybuilding.com forums made it seem, but I definitely think it's better than c4. Now I will say that I didn't take it 30-45 minutes before my workout like the suggestion on the container says. It was more like 20 mins so maybe that was y it didn't have a very big impact.
I just felt really focused. Normally I'm looking around the gym and peepin da scene but today I was either staring at whatever weight I was gonna lift or just looking down at the floor.
As far as taste, it was ok. Not bad but not good either. I got the cherry limeade flavor. You can taste the bcaas in it. If you've ever taken unflavored bcaas then you'll know what I mean.
Overall I'd give it like a 7.5/10

if you're looking to get cracked out, just take something stronger. vpx white heat or chaos and pain's cannibal ferox (as suggested by another NTer). if you want focus, take some SNS focus xt and add some caffeine. other than that, just blast some pantera.
i almost bought some of that blondie protein but i have enough powder already. the cookies and cream and snickerdoodle were both pretty good. no amino spiking too. i think you need the insider link for that deal.

Screw all that stuff, SPARK is the only option if you need the jitters.
In terms of PT certs, if youre looking at it as a side hustle... not worth it in the long term.

You aren't a true gym bro unless you have a sleeveless hoody.

It may not be worth it in terms of money but it's definitely worth it in knowledge. Studying for the test you learn things you probably wouldn't take the time to learn otherwise.

Thats the problem though, theres no loot in that field. People at my commercial gym, owned by a big hospital, are still on hourly pay of $10-12 an hour and thats with certs and a 4 year degree in a fitness/health related subject. Unless you're out there training celebs or having tons of online clients then you won't make any money.
Id go the physical therapist route if you want to do something close to personal training.

Thanks for the review. I ordered some yesterday and they already got delivered. I'm gonna hit the gym tonight and give my feedback too. I ordered their protein too, so we'll see how that goes. Repped.

Question about 5x5. Since its only 3 days a week should I be doing some other workout too? I jog twice a week and do assisted pull ups after my 5x5 , and feel like I should be doing more.

But if youre not going to use the cert, those books arent going to give you a bunch of knowledge thats practical. Those books arent designed for general knowledge. Also, if taking a test is the only way to force someone to learn more then dont even bother.
