: Well Bill, for the most part I agree with you completely.
:
: Unfortunately, in some cases I do not think anyone can pass a
: test, so I do not think that credentials should be devalued but
: looked at as another part of the puzzle.
:
: I am currently a PhD student in physics at UC Davis and one of
: my professors told me a story about how he used to think that
: everyone could get a PhD if they wanted. Recently though, he
: encountered a student he said was incapable of doing independent
: research and just could not think for himself. In these cases I
: would say that he just was not meant to have a PhD and nothing
: in the world would give him the ability to get one. Finally,
: the student realized this and dropped out. Again, this is
: perhaps a rare case, but I do think that degrees should be taken
: for granted but viewed as part of the puzzle.

: The best person to listen to is you. Only you know how you are
: responding to training and diet, etc.
:
: As far as advice goes - anyone who has trained for 5, 10, 20
: years and has lived to tell about, is more qualified than anyone
: with letters behind their name. Frankly - people who have
: failed and then learned from it or injured themselves and worked
: through it, is far more equiped to train the rest of us.
:
: My experience has been that certified trainers would rather tell
: which movements to avoid, rather than teach you how to do them
: effectively and safely - what kind of advice is that?
:
: There are some very wise people, experienced people here that
: have not led me astray. Don't worry about
: cerfications/credentials. Anyone can pass a test or written
: exam. Remember there have been many "engineers" who
: have built bridges that collapse....
:
: Regards,
: Uncertified and making consistent gains.
