Trainers

[sofargone561]

How many of you guys have someone who trains you. How did you meet them? Was it someone you just connected with in the gym or do you pay them? I am looking for someone to better my training and push me further. only problem is i dont want some guy who is fat or never touched a weight in his life who just a read a book and passed a test and i cant afford $100 bucks an hour either.

Re: Trainers

I have been training clients professionally for over 2 years now.

Yes there will be trainers that are book smart as fkc, but never or almost never competed or touched weights in their life. But they know anatomy to the point of perfection. those trainers with kin degree ususally scare me a little hahahah

I have also met trainers who have trained themselves, but lack real drive---where other trainers are (such as myself) results driven.
50% of my client base is competitive and the other are weight loss, or rehab.

You know bro, you have a bunch of real knowledgeable guys on this site, that would not charge you a single penny to share their exprience and knowledge.

Yes there are online coaches that will charge around 100.00 per week to work with you.

But honestly, ask here and I am sure most of us will help you out.

Realizing that you may need help, then seeking help is the biggest step into opening doors to success.


How can I help you bro?

Re: Trainers

very true B2J. Well i noticed that i always work harder when i have someone pushing me. when i used to workout with a budy of mine i always seemed to have 1 more rep in me he would always get me to push one more. But i moved away and driving all the way to him gym is very inconvenient for me. I have a friend who gave me a badass workout routine. I really am just looking for someone who knows that they are doing to correct my form and maybe push me 1 get that extra rep in. I dont have plans on competing but i want to get much bigger. I grow pretty big pretty fast im just looking for some extra drive i guess. I can tell you that i am ALWAYS getting good tips and knowledge from guys on here

Re: Trainers

What do you mean "get 1 more rep in"??? ONLY ONE MORE!?!?!?!? FML!!!! bro you got to go until you can't feel your arms anyore....or you can't walk straight anymore.

I generally have a real hard time driving after leg day best feeling ever.

Getting a boost from another buddy is always a real nice treat no doubt about it....but what happens when that buddy gets married? or is sick and away, and YOU have to go into battle alone?

I guess for me, I learnt many years ago to do it myself, and never ever stop when pain takes over. Pain is temporary, but that trophy on the wall with my name on it is forever

Re: Trainers

well i prefer to workout alone but there are some days where i find myself thinking im done before i am if that makes sense and thats where the 1 more rep thing comes in. now i usually push myself until like you said i cant drive home or i literally have fallen becuase my legs have given out after leg day lol but i like the drive and motivation. But the best thing i get from other people is knowledge i love to learn new things and most importantly i like to know im doing things right. I guess another thing that bothers me is people. I find i workout better when the gym is almost empty, I get nervous around large groups of people and i find myself looking over my shoulder more then paying attention to my set but when i go early in the am and no one is there i get much better work outs

[Fuelfan]

I train with a couple guys on different days. One guy is 10 years older than I am and the other could be my son. Both guys I met in the gym and both are absolute freaks in the gym. Always when training with either one push each other to a completely different level and makes gym time absolutely insane and I love every minute of it. I workout with these guys for 1 reason and that is because of their work ethic in the gym. They don't stand and bullshit all night, they go to work hard every night!

Re: Trainers
