Jordan and Austin criticizing the NSCA paradigm or the CSCS cert in particular?

dont want to be annoying and ask this on the modded forums but anyone know where I might find something like this? I know they disapprove of the material but has anyone seen more specific criticisms?

…why wouldn’t you ask in the modded forum and get the information from the horse’s mouth

idk i’m self-conscious about annoying them, besides they’ve recently seemed peeved about being posed questions like “compile a reading list for me” and “type a long nuanced essay for me”

Just ask them a question, I don’t think it would hurt.

idk man I abused the free service a lil too much in its early days and now they ignore a lot of my questions :frowning:

they’re also (understandably) chary to link to posts they made on the ss forums, which is where i suspect a lot of their thoughts on the NSCA are. I was just kind of hoping someone had seen something on this and could find it without too much effort.

i think “compile a reading list for me” and “type a long nuanced essay for me”

Hi, if you want stronger more detailed criticism of these certifications, go to Starting Strength. Per my poor memory from various videos, I only remember BBM saying they don’t really recommend them unless you need them to get a job. They may have said something like their material isn’t based on research and the cost/benefit ratio isn’t very good.
