I wanna know what's the perfect job for a bodybuilder. I wanna know this is because the job I have right now, is very physically demanding. I would like to put all that energy, that I put into my job into the gym. I'm really seriously thinking about becoming a physical trainer, would that be the right move. If it is the right move, what do they start salary whys a personal trainer with two certifications. Does it matter how many certifications you have?
Do yourself a gigantic favor and throw that notion out the window. Unless you get legitimate certification (which would take almost as much time as getting a college degree), you will be little more than a maid in a weight room.
I briefly, and I stress BRIEFLY considered that myself. But, one summer job at Bally slapped me back to reality. You only need to be in the gym for two hours MAX, to get the job done as far as training is concerned. There are plenty of people who work manual labor jobs, yet still have the energy to do their hangin' and bangin' with the weights.
I've done so, after hours of cutting grass in the Florida sun, during summertime. And I've still been able to train, after working at construction sites.
Sergio Oliva worked 12-hour shifts in foundries with blistering heat. Yet, he still became a Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia winner. And lest we forget, the current Mr. Olympia won several pro shows (including his first three Os), working full-time as a cop. (He once stated in an article that he even worked extra shifts to help pay for his Dodge Viper).
If your job is physically demanding, that means you need to pay more attention to your diet, making sure you have an abundance of the nutrients you need to grow (along with plenty of water). If your current job pays well, quitting it to become a trainer may not be the wisest move. Remember: Mo' money, Mo' food, Mo' supplements.......MO' MUSCLES!!!!!
