The CSCS Accelerator Quiz App
It wasn't on my 2026 bingo card to add "App Developer" to my resume. But then Canvas crashed, and with that, we lost one of the most robust features of our CSCS Accelerator Course, one that I had put HUNDREDS of hours into curating. The Canvas Quiz platform was robust enough to handle question and answer randomization, immediate vs delayed feedback, multiple question banks, and many other useful learning features. And as hard as I've tried, I haven't found a better platform for our CSCS practice quizzes and practice exams. So I built my own. And CSCS Accelerator Course members get access to it. TODAY. Look for an email with the heading "Welcome to the CSCS Accelerator Quiz App." It contains a link that expires within 24 hours (Why does it expire? Because I couldn't figure out how to change that setting. If you miss it, just let me know). Once you sign up, start your practice! And please know that this is a web-based, beta version of the app. There are still features I'm working on, some formatting issues, and possibly some user interface issues. But by and large, it's ready to rock. If you are interested in joining the next cohort of the CSCS Accelerator Course before it fills up, you can find all the details here: https://www.drjacobgoodin.com/ The live sessions kick off August 3rd, but once you sign up you'll gain immediate access to the course, as well as the Accelerator Quiz App ahead of public release.

@Eric Rueda this happened to me as well today…the quiz automatically completing itself and assigning a score for a quiz I never took. What has worked for me (so far) is to close the page after each quiz and then open the app/webpage again to start anew.
CSCS Daily Practice Question #22
Cast iron kettlebells differ from competition kettlebells primarily in that: A. They have no handle and require two-handed gripping B. They should not be used for explosive training movements because of their increased risk of injury C. They have variable dimensions across different weights and handle diameter changes as weight increases Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded. From Chapter 16: Exercise Technique for Alternative Modes and Nontraditional Implement Training NOTE: Image is for illustration purposes, not needed to answer the question.

A kettlebell with no handle? Eliminate option A. Kettlebells are intended for explosive training. Eliminate option B.

@Peter Noonan Impressive HS facility there in Texas! Certainly looks worthy of “Friday Night Lights”. And congrats on reviving your powerlifting career!

@Yangming Ma Thanks for sharing about your study experience. And congratulations on passing the exam!
Test Retake
A month or so ago, I had passed the practical portion of the CSCS, but failed the science portion by one point. I am retaking it next week! Any tips going into it? I have been watching all of the science related videos @Jacob Goodin has put out and practicing on Brainscape.

Congratulations on passing the practical portion! I’m new to the group and just starting, so I don’t have any tips, but it sounds like you’re REALLY close after just missing by a point. Best of luck to you!
CSCS Practice Question #68
SCENARIO: A strength coach is writing a program for an advanced weightlifter. The lifter's goal is to improve maximum strength. The coach knows that recruiting Type II fibers requires high-intensity stimulation. Which training approach best aligns with recruiting the largest motor units? A. Performing 1-5 repetitions with heavy loads at higher velocities B. Performing 8-12 repetitions with moderate loads and prolonged time under tension C. Performing 15-20 repetitions with light loads at moderate speeds Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below in the comments! I'll follow up with my breakdown of the question after enough people have responded. From Chapter 1: Structure and Function of Body Systems DCO Code: 1.B1 NOTE: Image is for illustration purposes, not needed to answer the question.

Light loads are not going to contribute much to max strength, so we can dismiss option C. Moderate loads and TUT will benefit muscular endurance more than max strength, so we can eliminate option B. Moving heavy weight at high velocity seems like a good recipe for high intensity stimulation, leaving us with choice C. However for optimal power performance we might want to be moving more moderate weight at higher velocities. What do y’all think?
