Not sure how taking any sort of supplement is going to lead to over training... ? He didn't post enough at all to even come close to suggesting he's over training... weird.

And your knock at people who have canfit instead of other things... tsk tsk tsk... it matters not whats on the paper. I've met many kin students over my years and most of them have very little real world knowledge about anything.

Some of the best and smartest trainers and coaches I've met out are the ones with less papers but more real world.

I find your generalization pretty pathetic.

Just so you know where I was coming from on this one before jumping down my throat and telling me that years and years of training means NOTHING... lets get things straight here..
Yes, I have a kin degree, and I agree with you, a lot of kin students don't know how to apply it, I just don't happen to be one of them.
I'm certified through CSEP, I am currently teaching a PFLC certification course in the Ottawa area, I've been a trainer for years, I work in the area, I do research in the area... but I think the biggest thing (which might be a kick in the balls for those of you who think education is worthless), is that I actually work out, and apply my education to my workouts and consultations... my knock on canfit was the fact that I see countless individuals at the gym with canfit certifications who are giving advice and tips to others, and their technique is off, their advice is crap, it's all a sales pitch. I'm not saying that they're all like this, but I have yet to meet anyone with a weekend crash course in personal training actually understand what is going on in the body on a physiological level

Now... if you read back to Nic's post, he was saying something about working out for 2-3 hours per day, 5-6 days per week. I told him that he might be overtraining (which is entirely true), however, his situation could be different (as is everybody's personal situation)...

So.... before you jump down someones throat next time about giving advice, think that maybe they just might know a little bit about the topic they are giving advice on. I'll admit, I know sh&t about cars... so I ask, I don't pretend, which is why I am a member on this board.

So my advice to you, before you start publicly flaming someone for trying to give someone a hand, get your facts straight.
