What’s up Reddit!? So for context, I finished my NASM certification last year and recently took up an internship position at an amazing training facility. I work full time as a consultant and I do these training sessions on Saturdays. After 3 weeks, I’ve started to realize how difficult being a PT actually is and how little I honestly know. I’ve been lifting for so long, I thought having a good understanding of strength and muscle hypertrophy would be enough… but I’ve come to realize that’s just the tip of the iceberg. My mentors know every muscle and every movement down to the smallest detail. The way the structure routines for clients is so different. From the mobility stretches to the warmups, everything has a specific purpose and reason. There are so many corrective exercises for tiny things that most lifters wouldn’t even realize. I’m struggling so much to keep up and it’s challenged the way I approach training in general. Has anyone else gone through this? How did you push through it? Thanks for the advice!
If you're interested in muscles, understand the key about origin and insertions concept and how muscles never pull, only push, and then do some research regarding the Axioappendicular muscles or the Scapulohumeral muscles.

Agreed, I understand this - and I'm a uni student / PT.
No one gives a fuck about the science behind it - I don't give two fucks about telling clients which exact muscle we're working.
