The intrigue between coaches and coaches, coaches and members in the Invigoration Gym is not mentioned for the time being, and after this period of preparation, Ji Ke ushered in an important level in his career: the national vocational examination.

As mentioned above, the national certificate of personal trainer is not so useful in the current industry situation---- for most gyms and members, whether the personal trainer has a national certificate or other certificates is not a necessary condition;

For the gym, a personal trainer who can bring benefits is a good coach, for a member, a coach who can help him achieve the desired body is a good coach, and a certificate? What is it? Can you eat it?!

However, Ji Ke personally feels that as a personal trainer, he cannot relax his self-pursuit and restraint on the career path because of the current situation of the industry and the lack of attention from members;

In the long run, being able to obtain the certification certificate from the national agency is a respect for the profession, professional pursuit and good expectations for the future;

In the short term, the training certificate and qualification certification prove that you are not from a wild road and work without a license, and this alone can package yourself well, improve your own qualifications, increase your value, win the trust of members, and make the gym pay attention to yourself with better performance.

Whether it is short-term interests or long-term planning, Ji Ke feels that as a person who is committed to the position of private trainer, he needs to pay attention to the qualification certification and use them to make the most reliable endorsement for his professional ability.

However, at present, personal trainer training institutions are mixed and muddy, and all gyms and even relevant national units are mixing with the qualification certification of personal trainers, and the qualification certificates issued by them play different influences with their respective influences.

Among them, the most authoritative is the certificate issued by the Vocational Skills Appraisal Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China!

The training and assessment of this certificate are strictly separated: the training is carried out by the authorized vocational training base specific to the sports industry, and the assessment is carried out by the vocational skill appraisal station of the specific type of work in the sports industry;

The certificate obtained after passing the examination is stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security of the People's Republic of China, the Personnel Department of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and the Vocational Skills Appraisal Station for specific types of work in the sports industry.

is so authoritative that it can even be called a national certificate of professional certification in the field of private education, and it is also the first certification that Ji Ke wants to obtain.

"Go in, I'll be waiting for you here. On the day of the exam, Li Jiang accompanied Ji Ke to the national vocational examination site in Zheng City.

Although the two have the intention to conceal their relationship, they inevitably have some intimate behaviors in their daily lives; Zhen Peng and Zhang Wen, these coaches are also tempered by society for a long time, and they are not rookies who don't understand anything, plus Liu Shuai and Zhou Ting, who are intentionally or unintentionally coaxing; over and over, the relationship between Li Jiang and Ji Ke has become an open secret of the private trainer team.

Li Jiang is also a generous person, and he feels that since everyone has almost guessed it, it is useless to hide it, and if he continues to hide it, Ji Ke will have some bad thoughts.

So he made up his mind, and simply took the opportunity of Ji Ke to participate in the national vocational examination and came with him, which was regarded as a default disclosure.

The national vocational examination is divided into three exams of different difficulty at the junior high school and high school levels, in principle, all coaches must take the examination from the primary examination, and then have a certain number of years of experience before they can carry out the intermediate and senior examinations;

Before it, all over the country, especially in the three economically developed regions of Beijing, Tianjin, and Tangzhou, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, associations and organizations for organizing fitness enthusiasts and fitness coaches to conduct bodybuilding and fitness competitions appeared at the right time.

These associations also cooperate with various fitness training institutions to issue certification certificates and endorse the training quality of training institutions;

Those fitness enthusiasts and fitness coaches who compete under the organization of the association and get bonuses have promoted their certificates, which makes these association certificates have initial credibility;

Later, the government unit carried out official control over the work of the association, preventing these associations from going astray for money and disrupting the normal ecological environment of the fitness industry, and once again improving the formality of the association's certificate;

When the General Administration of Sports entered, in order to unite these associations and training institutions that have made certain achievements and have a certain influence on the fitness industry, they carried out acceptance certification and preliminary authorization for their training venues: authorized institutions can conduct national vocational primary examinations!

As the largest large-scale training institution specializing in personal training professional skills training and bodybuilding competitions in the field of fitness in Beijing and even in the north, Huaishen Fitness Academy has been recognized by the Beijing Bodybuilding Association earlier.

When the General Administration of Sports entered, such an industry giant naturally obtained its authorization, and Ji Ke obtained the junior national certification at the end of the training!

However, Ji Ke felt that the junior national occupation was too overflowing, and he couldn't make himself stand out in front of a senior brother and sister, so he planned to take the intermediate national vocational certification;

Ji Ke walked into the examination room, several fashionable tables and chairs were connected together to form the examiner's seat, several examiners sat there, and a beautiful woman in sportswear presided over and distributed the exam flow chart.

The national vocational examination is divided into three parts, namely physical fitness, theory and practice, and is assessed in order.

The physical fitness test is simple and crude: 40 standard push-ups, 60 standard bodyweight squats, 15 pull-ups, no rest in between, and you can do it in order. These three movements respectively carried out the most direct quantitative assessment of the three largest muscles of the human body, the chest, back and legs.

It seems simple, but it is actually quite difficult, not only because of the lack of rest during the whole process, the lactic acid accumulation hinders the completion of the action, but more importantly: the standard of the action!

In the standard of push-ups, the position of the upper arm, the position of the lower arm, the distance between the feet, the curve of the lower back, and the range of movements have quite clear requirements:

The upper arm should be lower than the shoulder;

The forearm should be perpendicular to the ground;

Feet shoulder-width apart;

The back should be straight, not arched or collapsed;

The range of motion required is 90° to 180° of the elbow joint.

And in the push-up state, the actual weight is about 60% of your own body weight!

The standard requirements for bodyweight squats are the same as push-ups, and they also have their technical details;

Pull-ups comprehensively examine the strength of the muscles in the back and front of the upper arms.

After the first two movements, the muscles have accumulated a lot of lactic acid, and although the muscle groups they use are not used for pull-ups, the energy consumed cannot be replenished.

In addition, standard movements consume 2 to 4 times more energy than non-standard movements.

Ji Ke witnessed a large number of coaches who came to take the exam like him in the examination room, because their movements were not standard and their physical fitness was not up to standard, they were directly passed by the examiner, and they were directly eliminated without even having the opportunity to participate in the next exam link.

In the theoretical part of the intermediate examination, in addition to the six muscle groups (chest, shoulder, back, legs, abdomen, and upper arms), the rotator cuff, neck, forearm, calf, and body side are added to the small muscle groups that most people do not pay much attention to, as well as sports nutrition, exercise physiology, and rehabilitation training.

But whether it is the starting and ending points of muscles, functions, how to exercise, or the dietary planning of different plans for different needs (muscle gain, fat loss, and body shaping), Ji Ke is chopping melons and vegetables, and impresses other coaches and examiners with the speed of the first handing in the paper.

The practical part, as the last part, is not only random, but also the designed exercises must be trained in a freehand situation.

In the face of the muscle names randomly given by the examiner, the candidates should not only give the training plan within the specified time, but also patiently and meticulously enable the members to successfully complete the training actions listed in the plan through various methods such as action demonstration, correction, and language, assuming that the members do not understand anything.

It stands to reason that this is nothing, but it is important to know that not all parts are usually trained with bare hands!

Back, rotator cuff, big arms, many coaches usually use equipment for training, and it is difficult to suddenly ask him to design a freehand training program;

Forearm clusters, neck muscles, serratus anterior muscles on the side of the body, muscles around the pelvis, calf muscles, these muscles are almost never on the schedule during regular workouts, and needless to say, not many coaches will pay attention to the muscles that these members don't like to see, let alone work on them!

This link directly "hacked" more than two-thirds of the coaches who survived the first two rounds.
