Precision Nutrition Certification

I am always looking to get better at helping people achieve lasting results. This certification will add a great amount of depth to what we offer at Cascade Peak Performance. It will take me 2-3 months to finish the program, but there should be plenty that can be implemented at CPP right away.

From the Precision Nutrition's site:

The Certification Program: Nutrition Education for Elite Fitness Professionals.

The Precision Nutrition Certification Program trains you to change and improve the nutrition habits of any client with any goal — whether beginner or advanced. We've designed the certification's hands-on information, strategies, and tools for you to use immediately in your own personal training or strength coaching practice.

First, we teach you the essential science of sport and exercise nutrition: cellular biology, digestion, metabolism, macronutrients, micronutrients. If you need to know it as a coach, we teach it in the cert.

Then, we teach you exactly how to add nutrition coaching to your work in the gym to guide an exercising client to their optimal physique. You'll learn a system for influencing the nutrition habits of any client, with any goal, beginners and advanced alike.

We got a Landmine!

I've wanted one of these for years, and will be experimenting with the landmine for the next couple weeks. The landmine is a bar sleeve attached to a universal joint that allows for 3 dimensional movement with a fixed base. Without the landmine, the only way to simulate this is putting the end of the bar in a corner. This works ok, but usually damages the wall.

This new toy will be great for modified pressing variations that people with shoulder issues can do sooner in their programs. For the more athletic individuals we can do some advanced rotary training. Additionally, we can do heavy rows with experienced lifters. There is always something new at Cascade Peak Performance, come see us if your workouts are getting stale.
