Robert asks…
Who should i look for on waiver wire?
Hey guys, with Steve Jackson comig back to fitness i’m looking to dump cadillac wiliams and pick up another RB on waiver wire. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe James Starks, Daniel Thomas or Darren Sproles. It’s an 8 team PPR league.
Thanks guys
admin answers:
In a PPR I would take Sproles first. In the same vein as LeSean McCoy and clearly they love him in NO. The Dolphins have invested so much in making Bush their RB so they’ll have to keep giving him the rock to prove himself. He did so admirably versus the Pats as he was involved in 75 of 77 offensive plays and looked great doing it. He may just have been out of gasthe following week. No one can fault him for that. Daniel Thomas’s workload will suffer as a result. Starks workload however will only increase as Grant is clearly on the way out. So Sproles, Starks and then Thomas.
Ken asks…
Do they do a physical fitness test at MEPs?
If not, at what point do they do it? I know I can pass the PRT with flying colors (currently at an outstanding low, working up towards an outstanding high). I also have a pin in my foot, that I will need a waiver for, so I want to show them I am more than capable of passing the PRT.
admin answers:
Nope

Medical waiver needed?
I want to join the marines, but on my medical records it will show up that i had recurring headaches throughout middle school(not anymore), and got tricep tendonitis like 2 years ago(i am cured of that by now), will any of those disqualify me for a waiver? Also do they take into account your current fitness level when considering waivers? I am overweight(need to lose 20-25 more pounds), but i have already lost a ton of weight and will easily lose the rest by the time i would go to boot camp, whenever that would be.
admin answers:
Let me just put this out there. Your recruiter or MEPS does not look at your medical records when you go there. They have no access to any medical records by computer. You would have to tell them where to look. And they do not have the time or man power to retrieve everyones medical history. What ever you decide to disclose with them is the only information they will know about you. Waivers bein granted are slim today. But if you decide not to tell them about past history and it comes back in the future, They may go looking at your records and you will get in trouble.

Crohne’s Disease Waiver for Air Force?
hey ive had crohnes disease for 2 yrs and am currently in college. I was always planning on joining the us air force and wanted to try for the pararescue jumper program (i now this sounds like a common pipe dream but im in excellent shape played football in hs and have been lifting 5 days a week since 9th grade and can easily exceed air force fitness test minimums). However ive heard waivers are impossible to get for ibs diseases. Is this true? If so hypothetically are there other options to avoid the need for a waiver?
Hey thanks for the answers i was kinda expectin the response dont worry bout bein dicks i now how ridicoulus someone on the internet saying there up for sf is i dont think im shoe in just that i am may b up to the challenge and crohnes really isnt as debilitatin as u may think all it does is give me lose stool it hasnt halted several pro athletes such as david garrard (not that i think pro athletes are on the same level as military service men AT ALL just an example) not that it matters i do understand that the military does these things for a reason just thought id try n make myself sound a lil more legitimate haha
admin answers:
Unfortunately (for you) there are no waivers for Crohn’s Disease. As previously explained by a few folks most ably it is a disqualifying condition for enlistment period. Special Forces would be “more than a pipe dream. The US Army Regulation 40-501 is the regulatory authority for all enlistment physicals. The applicable section below was copied directly from that regulation. Best of luck.
(1) Current or history of inflammatory bowel disease, including, but not limited to unspecified (558.9), regional
enteritis or Crohn’s disease (555), ulcerative colitis (556), or ulcerative proctitis (556), is disqualifying.

My boyfriend and i just got a membership for bally total fitness and the girl said that we will not have a contract. She made us sign a waiver stating that they will take out $ from our bank account every 2 weeks to pay for our membership. The paper she printed out says contract on it,i don’t understand what just happened. i have heard alot of bad things about bally but decided to give it a try please help
admin answers:
Don’t do it! My muscles got so big, they burst out of my arms like angry aliens, went flying across the room, and then they ran away and joined a herd of wild great danes living in the jungle near my trailer park. Now I have no muscles at all and I have to use a robot to do all my manual labor. In fact, my robot is typing this message right now. And it’s all because of stupid Bally Total Fitness. Curse them!
Paul asks…
could i get a waiver for this?
http://www.military.com/military-fitness/army-special-operations/army-ranger-pft
if i can do everything except for the pull-ups, is it possible to get a waiver
admin answers:
If you are in the Army, start working on your upper body and improve your pull-ups. If you cannot do pull-up, why not? You may or may not be able to get a waiver for a medical problem, but you do not want to be pushed out of plane if you cannot control your risers.
Michael asks…
Would you be one of those sign waivers that are everywhere now selling everything from homes to fitness clubs?
Isn’t it amazing to see the new hires shrink as they exercise?
admin answers:
Hell no! Not unless they paid me alotta bucks!

Navy – Wasn’t Ready to take the Initial Fitness Test?
Okay. My whole package was ready for the Navy. The thing is I wasn’t prepared to take the running portion of the fitness test. So my recruiter said I would have to take the test and get everything approved again since I wasn’t ready. I had to get some waivers approved and everything to get to this point. So I was wondering how long would it take for everything to be completed or approved once I take my IFT and pass.
admin answers:
1-2 months depending on their work load
Chris asks…
Can I legally charge for personal training services if I do not yet have my license?
I have several years of nutrition and fitness behind me and would like to offer this service to people for a small amount. I have done it once and provided a “do at your own risk” stating I am not responsible for any physical mental or emotional outcomes before during or after this advise. I know what I’m talking about in regards to what I’m offering but I do not want to get sued by someone who is money hungry. Is this waiver enough in the state of CA? Thank you!
admin answers:
Yes, but it is not wise.
If you have years of experience, just take the ACE exam and maintain your continuing education credits.
If you do get sued, no, a waiver is not enough and a certification will certainly look better in court.
Also, you say you know what you’re talking about, but if you do, why not just take the test? It should be easy if you have the experience and knowledge that you say you do.
