Whatâs up everyone! My name is Ricardo. Iâm a U.S. Soccer Regional Referee in South Florida and a personal trainer focused on hypertrophy and conditioning. CSCS: Passed Scientific Foundations. I came up just short on the Practical/Applied section, so Iâm working on my weak areas, studying for the NSCA-CPT in the meantime, and preparing to retake the CSCS later this year. Fun fact: I was never really into running or conditioning growing up. I was more of a gym rat. I started taking endurance training seriously out of necessity to pass the fitness tests required to upgrade as a referee, and now I genuinely enjoy both strength and conditioning. I train at the LA Fitness near my house, and I get my runs in around my neighborhood or at the track. Looking forward to preparing for the CSCS with you all!
