Impressive snake. She's really pretty.

I can tell you how many cubic millimeters are in 7.473728 cubic meters by moving the decimal place.

Don't need any math because you're used to it right. So go ahead. I'm waiting for your exact numeric value without any math.

There's a reason why all science is done in metric. Cause it's easily understandable like this compared to imperial. If you're doing anything horribly complicated the last thing you need is to be converting in ways that you cant eyeball and go "wait that looks wrong"

All that means is that mercury as a metal has a very low melting point hence it stays in a predominant liquid state. If the room temp happens to be -39C then in that room mercury is in it's solid form (metal). This is why I made the comparison with other metals in a "liquid" form.

No?

Vapor equations anyone?

Advanced stoichiometry?

Heh? Heh?!

So I take it you're beyond PV = nRT now

Uhh yeah.. more like..

(LOL! The forum wont accept some of the formatting like the sum symbol lol)

we're also doing lattice energies, from the born-lande equations

which look like this:



which comes from electrostatic potential:

repulsive term:


then we have to find total energy:

from unknown B:


so you find it by substitution B in terms of Ro, which gives:


And i need this for being a personal trainer... why?


(images from wikipedia, couldnt find it layed out anywhere that would format, luckily it was in images!)

my mom is a person trainer, no we she learned all that lol

Essentially you're just plugging numbers into the last equation though, yes? Nothing too crazy. And yes, you will use that every day as a personal trainer. These exact equations. That's why you have to learn them, right? Haha. It's all part of the process. They just want to make sure you are dedicated enough to put up with the BS before they turn you loose. I spent 4 years in college and now starting another 5+ in grad school. All this emphasis on training your brain when in reality, 99% of what I actually do involves my hands.

Yeah i know, i actually worked as a PT for a year before ever going to college. learned more in that year than i have in 4 at college. Oh well. going to make way more $ with a degree.

Sounds like a better system. I made more money with a bachelors than I do as a graduate student. Then, once I get a PhD, I'll start making the same amount as I made in my first job after I got my bachelors degree. Maybe I should've been a PT instead of a scientist

Hah! yeah..

I made $35/hr working at a gym (granted, ~20 hours a week) but going in w/ accredidations (ACSM, NASM, etc etc all of which ive taken and just need to renew) and a bachelors in ex phys, I'm "all set"

I called for a required (for graduation) internship this summer, i'll be done w/ classes but need to do my 2nd internship to get my degree, explained the situation, etc. I'm getting $12/hr for interning at this place, and they said I could apply as a "head trainer" if i have all those accreditations when im done, sine 98% of PT's dont bother going to college, many PT's are athletes who use PT as a "backup" plan, and just grab one accredidatoin and apply for a planet fitness job at $18/hr and never progress.

(Master trainers at the club im doing the internship make $89/session (hour session) + sales (packages, group classes, etc.) as a starting salary, the gym gives you 15 sessions a week, and you have to fill in the rest of your clients through your own marketing. Plus you make $12/hr on the floor even if you aren't training. the $129/hr in per session, $12/hr is per hour. So i'd make $12/hr * 40 + sessions per week
I made $9/hr + $35/session before college working at a Golds gym), its a pretty sweet deal if you love training people, which I do!


I saved up about $35,000 before college (full year of PT living at my parents place w/ no bills other than gas = win), used most of it by now for rent, gas, my car, etc etc the last 4 years, now I have about $2K left to my name, but its way better than most college students.. hah!

I wish I had a gym near me That I could afford and I could get a personal trainer! I need someone to boot my arse in gear. I love to work out but I fail at getting motivated. I used to work out a lot and I felt awesome but now I am a bum.. I really really want to join a gym again.

[Skumbo]

You dont need a gym, I've never worked out at a gym for any significant time. I work out at home (granted ive invested some $$ into proper equipment) but if you just want basic fitness goals all you need is a body and motivation.

Its all about motivation. Most people dont have it, many are willing to pay for it (my job, haha). The thing with being healthy is you have to commit to it, you cant do it for a few weeks then feel good about yourself and go back to old habits, its a way of life not something you do on the side, sadly. And many of the people who put the time and effort in make mistakes that really contradict what they're trying to do. it really does take up a lot of time, more than most realize.

Find someone you know with p90x and borrow it.
