Today's Training

BW Circuit, reduce one :

Squat
Rows
Push-Ups

520 Reps/10minutes +20repetitions, not bad

Thanks Katie

for the questions asked :

Muscles Name and Function
Describe the "exercises"
What is ATP, and question in regard to it. (How do we use energy for the kind of activity done etc.) Personally I had to explain how the Creatine Phosphate was working.
Biomechanics
Health Benefits from weight lifting and cardio
V02 Max, intensity and hearth rate formula (Karvonen)
Anatomy, mostly where and from where the "muscle name" attach himself
Program Design for clients goal and fitness level
Fit Test (how to do it ... EASY)
Questions about fiber type ... LOUL, "Witch one is the most solicited for a sprinter" no as stupid but close.
Explain Overtraining, or separating too much our workouts. I had to explain overtraining.
Carbs/Fats used compared to intensity
Training Principles, progression, adaptation etc.
Taking measurement for BF% search
Factor affecting Metabolism
Hypertrophy, how does it work and how does it happens
How can your train ? (Like circuit, pairing etc.) and their uses
Flexibility, here I was out, I didn't knew alot about it ...

There was a "practical" part too. Personally I had to describe the Good Morning (why didn't she gave me Squat or Overhead press, deadlift lol)

and

Take her waist measurement,

and

Take her hearth rate.

2 Hours long exam, I found it easy ...

i don't i could tell you that now to be honest, not for memory anyway..explain for me
V02 Max, intensity and hearth rate formula (Karvonen)
did you have to explain the 60% fat loss heart rate zone? a bunch of shit...hey run hard and things will happen
Anatomy, mostly where and from where the "muscle name" attach himself
not great on insertions and origins...are insertion points closest to the mid line of the body or the origin?
Carbs/Fats used compared to intensity
what was your answer?
Hypertrophy, how does it work and how does it happens
How can your train ? (Like circuit, pairing etc.) and their uses
the best in the world don't even really know how this happens...
Flexibility, here I was out, I didn't knew alot about it ...
what did you answer with then?

Creatine Phosphate :

First off, when our body uses the ATP, the atom looses one Phosphate and become unusable as energy, the atom is now : ADP (Normally it's Adenosine + 3 Phosphate ATP ) and at the same time one P (Phosphate) is now free. Here comes the creatine stock in our cell. When we ask our body an inhuman amount of energy (force deployment, ATP) for maximum 15 seconds (A sprints or A max lift as example) our body will free our stock Creatine (Cr) to produce a maximal amount of energy with our ATP reserve. So, the creatine is freed, reach the free P from the already broken ATP, and provoke a reaction who will lead the ADP to regain the used P. That way maximizing for a really short amount of time (an athlete, like us, with full ATP and C stock, the reaction will last maximum 15 seconds) the energy used. This is the fastest way our body have to use energy. After the reaction is done, the body needs a greater amount of time to restock creatine (for an upcoming intense efforts again) and ATP compare to any other way our body have to use energy (Aerobic Anaerobic ...)

Woha, At least I've tried, really hard to explain in English.

ATP>
REALLY high intensity effort>
ADP + P>
Cr + P = CP>
CP+ADP= Used Cr but a refresh ATP.
So you have the maximal way to deploy energy, quickly, with our body's ATP level. If the activity isn't that intense, he will use another way to use energy and the Cr will be left untouch.



For VO2 Max and hearth rate etc. all we had to do is to determine someones condition. And know how to calculate the maximal hearth rate of someone (witch is pretty simple)


questions for the carbs/fats used vs intensity was :

-Do we only use fats at 60% of our maximal intensity ?
-Do the carbs used for an exercises of a steady intensity diminish with time ?

Simple questions for me ... so I answered : NO and yes with explanations :wink:

For hypertrophy well questions were mostly about muscles tissue damage and nutrition. Only basics.

Flexibility .... "Do stretching reduce the curvature effect" "Why is it important to warm-Up" "Do static Stretching should be done at the beginning of the workout and explain" Did best ... but myself I didn't ever worked on flexibility, no I didn't ever stretch ...

And yes the origin of a muscle is the closest from "The Middle"


How many of these thing will I remember ? who knows lol :wink:
