Your degrees, years of experience, where you work… or is that all secondary?Does your ripped physique solidify your authority?Is it a requirement to have overdeveloped biceps, pecs, delts and calves or washboard abs to be seen as ‘a legitimate trainer’ in the eyes of others?Long time strength coach and personal trainer Chris Wilson discusses his thoughts and philosophy when it comes to his 25 years in the fitness and health profession.Regardless if you have 20” arms, walk around at 8% body fat or have a year-round tan to better showcase your shredded 6-pack, it does not necessarily make you a good coach.A quality instructor and coach has far more to do with passion, knowledge, experience, and character… and yes, some muscles too!Hope you enjoy this fun solo episode as Coach Chris speaks from the heart and does not hold back!  “Just because you’re huge and shredded doesn’t mean you’re a better trainer.” -Chris Wilson  Time Stamps00:41 - Welcome to the Strong By Design podcast! 01:05 - Join us today as Coach Chris Wilson hosts a special solo episode 02:05 - Learn about Chris' motivation for fitness, muscles and strength 09:00 - Defining a Fitness Expert 14:52 - Does being huge and shredded make you a better trainer?  23:42 - Why Clients choose Chris over other Coaches 26:30 - Pathways to achieving true health! 29:46 - The Top 5 muscle and strength influencers that shaped Chris' expertise 40:13 - What determines your overall physical success? 46:34 - Please share, and leave ratings & reviews for the SBD podcast Resources:·          CriticalBench.com Connect with Chris:·         Instagram·         Facebook   Support the showConnect w/ Critical Bench: YoutubeFacebookInstagramCriticalBench.comCriticalNutritionLabs.comStrongByDesignPodcast.com
