ISSA Bodybuilding Unit 8 NOTES
BENEFITS OF TESTING Part 1


1. Testing provides the trainer with an evaluation of the athlete's compliance.
Once the trainer has validated a program's effectiveness, testing will
determine whether an individual athlete has in general adhered to the
program. (Of course, there are always exceptions.) It is a trainer's job to know
who is following the program and who is not.




BENEFITS OF TESTING Part 2


2. Testing provides the trainer and bodybuilder with information on individual
strengths and weaknesses. A one-size-fits-all training approach does not
apply to bodybuilding programs, so testing will provide you with information on
some changes that need to be made regarding the current training program;
this will aid in identifying performance needs and reduce possible health risks.




BENEFITS OF TESTING Part 3


3. Different athletes will have different needs, and they should be addressed
accordingly. Just think, if you can easily do leg extensions for reps with 150
pounds but struggle to do leg curls of 50 pounds, you are setting yourself up
for not only asymmetrical imbalances but also a greatly enhanced chance of
injury.




BENEFITS OF TESTING Part 4

, 4. Testing is motivational. As a trainer, after a successful evaluation of
performance, I can tell an athlete definitively, "You have gotten stronger; your
arms have grown by half an inch!" This will motivate my athlete and spark
great enthusiasm. Even my saying, "Your bench press improved by 10%" can
generate excitement. Being your best on stage is the ultimate goal; however,
testing is a goal itself and often gives bodybuilders even more reason to train.




BENEFITS OF TESTING Part 5


5. Testing allows the trainer to seek quantitative data on whether the program
he/she prescribed is effectively working. Testing periodically will allow you to
track the rate at which your client is progressing. If progress stagnates, this
may be a sign that variables in your programming should be changed to
stimulate progress.




The reason for testing
Whatever the reason for testing and evaluation, above all, it must serve a
purpose. There must be a reason for the test. In addition, it must be properly
planned, and it must provide useful data. Testing for the sake of testing (often
a result of the athlete or coach's self-gratification) is purposeless and often
dangerous. It is commonly recommended that testing can be done as often as
once per month and as infrequently as three times per year.
