Help, I want to become a PT, but I’m afraid that I won’t be good enough.
I enjoy lifting and learning about lifting, but lately I’ve found myself absolutely in love with helping people in their own fitness journey through sharing my knowledge and experience. Seeing people grow and showing that they’re more capable than they than think. Them becoming stronger, confident and capable. I want to make the jump, but I’m afraid that I won’t be good enough. I’m no expert and I myself have a lot to learn. I know exactly where I stand in terms of my knowledge and experience and that's what stopping me from making the jump. I want to give the best that I can and I feel like I’m not there yet. My question is at what point were you guys confident to become coaches? And do you guys have any general advice?

I am the same way and in fact have coached before however now it is much different for me. I have spent countless hours watching YouTube videos, coaching others prior, and training, I even posted on social media for a short time but got embaressed of how I looked or worried people would hate my information even if I had positive feedback. I’ve taken NASM course to show I have credentials and still am still worried, however now it’s more at risk with my current “career” job. However something I will say is, it’s a lot simpler than you think. And something I learned through trying to help others who want to do stuff online is, it’s free to start and hurts no one to do so. The best advise is what @Darian Bates said, dig deep and find what’s stopping you, I think this post helps me as well and hope you find that inner voice! If you need an accountability buddy or something just reach out.
What do you do to increase NEAT?
Hey guys I thought this would be an interesting topic for conversation and may help others in increasing theirs too if we shared ideas!

My wife and I enjoy window shopping a lot haha especially grocery stores Also I have a dog which if I don’t walk him, it’s very stressful so it’s a win win And idk if this counts as neat because it is on a treadmill, but I have a small walking pad, I’ll watch tv and walk on there
Most effective split
What do you guys this is the most effective split? Single part training or push pull and legs? Please let me know. FYI I was following a PPL workout split since the past few months which i designed myself and i gained a lot of muscle mass.

As all fitness goes, the answer is, it depends, there is never a clear cut answer. However we can cover some of the factors involved, the most important being recovery. In single body part training “bro split” you hit one/two muscle group(s) each workout (chest or chest and tris). If you work with the proper intensity you find your chest sore the next day, the following day, maybe even a third day… but three days later they may be fresh or ready to be touched on again. However, you wouldn’t be touching them for another 3/4 days later. Now the benefit is they will be very recovered by the next training session. In push pull legs, you are giving the opportunity to rest for two or three days, and then hitting that body part again. A wise way to utilize this benefit would be focusing on chest the first push day (with secondary shoulders) and maybe focusing on shoulders(with secondary chest) the second push day (something to that effect). Push pull legs is definitely beneficial for volume and just enough recovery. The downside to this is the possibility you may not recover enough. As discussed you may hit the same body part with only 2 days rest. The other aspect is push pull legs is only suited for 3 or 6 training days a week. If you decide to do 3, that negates the last paragraph I indicated for hitting the muscle twice a week. If you are training 6, can you truly handle that much volume a week? Also the amount of training time can easily add up. Keeping the example of a push day you can include chest, triceps and shoulders in one session.. to properly hit this session let’s say you do 3 chest movements, 3 shoulder movements and 2 triceps movements. This may be a lot for people. Also science shows a training curve when it comes to days of the week for training, 2 days is significantly better than one, 3 days has a large improvement, 4 days is improvement but slightly less, 5 days improvement but even less of an increase, and 5 going to six days is a very small improvement. So yes there is an improvement, but 4 days a week training can have great gains come with them! As mentioned PPL means 3 or 6 days only!
