CSCS Exam, Training, and More

Seems like the only stuff I’ve been posting lately are updates. Like, as if people actually care what’s going on in my life. Hahaha. Right. I’m not that interesting. Hopefully the days of only posting life updates regularly are behind us. However, there’s still this one…

CSCS Exam
First of all, a gigantic THANK YOU to everyone wishing me luck on the exam! You all deserve a good, stiff leg humping. All in all, it was about a year and a half in the making. I had originally set a goal to be certified by last fall, but I’m a procrastinator, have slight ADD when it comes to balancing my life, and in general am kinda lazy.

Speaking of being lazy, I didn’t request to get my college transcript sent to NSCA headquarters until last week (so I’m sure it will take at least a week or two for it to be processed and sent through the University of Wisconsin school system), and I didn’t take my CPR certification until this past weekend either. So I have to wait for my CPR card to arrive in the mail, make a copy of that, and then send that to the NSCA as well before I get to see my test scores. Lame? Yes. But I can only blame myself. If all of the stars align, I could *possibly* get my scores by the end of this week. It’s highly doubtful though. My expectations are possibly next week some time or even the one after.

Oh! You want to know how I think I did? Well, in all honesty, I think I did well enough to pass. I don’t think I dominated, but I don’t really care if did or not. Even if I only pass by 1 question on both sections, I don’t care. Passing is passing.

For the exercise science section, I was able to answer all of the question in 40 minutes. That left me with more than enough time to go back through and look at all of them. I think I changed a couple from being wrong to being right. And even the ones that I had absolutely no clue on, I could at least get it down to choosing between 2 answers so at least it’s a 50/50 shot.

The application section was about the same. Finished it WAAAAAY ahead of time, but this time I only marked the ones I struggled with and didn’t go through all of them again. There was 120 questions on that section and I was getting bored.

I’d appreciate it if you hold off on the congratulatories until I know for sure. I try to stay pretty level headed about these things and don’t want to get my hopes up. As positive as some people like to tell me to be, being positive will not magically change a wrong answer to a write answer now.

Training
Now that I don’t have this looming feeling of, “you know, you should be studying right now. Anything you do that isn’t studying is taking away from your future” and the fact that I haven’t really even felt like training for the past several months, I can honestly say that this guy is back!! Pass or fail, happy or sad, I am f*ckin READY to get back in the gym and train like a beast!

My summer fatloss program (must be a subscriber to get the password) is going so well that it’s exposing one simple fact: I am STILL a skinny bastard. My previously muscle (and fat) wrapped and hidden collar bones are being exposed again. This does not make me a happy panda. Not one single bit.

E-book
E-book, you say?! Yup. I REARRY think that I have something that people should want to see. Of course, even if the information is rock solid and written with my straight forward bluntness mixed with geek, it’s still not going to matter if I can’t figure out how to market it and get some decent exposure. All I’ll say about it is that it’s a nutritional/dieting/how-to eat product and is based on what I’m currently doing. Of course, there are many many more details than just that. Hell, there might even be an opportunity for some of you to get the e-book for free and make some money by being a test subject. More on that when it gets closer.

Hair Growth
I’ve been told by a couple people I should cut it, I’ve been told by a couple people they really like it, and I’ve been told by one person that I absolutely should let it grow out. I am SO focused on focusing on the gym right now, that I really could give two shits what anybody else thinks about it, even if they are an attractive specimen from the opposite sex. So far it’s not bothering me, so the growth continues…
