Is my trainer full of shit?

he's a piece of shit meme trainer, murder him

>>35499895
Trainer shows you good form for compounds = you dont need to spend any more money on them

Trainer keeps you running through an ever changing machine circuit = $$$

he either thinks you're a china doll or is pretty sure you're going to break the gm equipment. do it just to spite him.

>>35499895

Hes right tho, my traps are looking juicy by just doing OHP, lateral raises and bent over lateral raises..

I wouldnt teach a dyel fuckwit movements like deadlift.

>>35499895
learn to squat and deadlift and then find a routine that will actually allow you to get stronger over a period of time. Dont fall for this meme shit most pts peddle

>>35499895
You have a group of people all over the world with the human race's entire corpus of weightlifting information at their disposal whose only goals are banter and making it available to you on this site, and you're going to take the advice of some Jew with a financial incentive to keep you coming back?

Your trainer is a puss and you should get a new one

>>35499895
The only reason a trainer should be saying not to do something is if you're so weak/shitty posture or form you will fuck up.

Seeing as he hasn't said anything about that he's probably fulla shite

Shrugs is a meme exercise but your pt propably doesn't want to teach you diddy or press because he doesn't know how

>>35499895
He's right to the extend that you can indeed hurt yourself badly doing deadlifts or overhead presses. That doesn't however change the fact that he's a goddamn moron for not wanting to teach your proper form. Actually he probably hasn't got the slightest clue how to properly perform these exercises himself. Otherwise I don't see how he could ever have that opinion.

The shoulder press machine does not compare to the free weight exercise. Although seated dumbbell presses are good.

Telling you not to train your traps is borderline retarded. You don't get to pick and choose what muscle groups to develop and which not to. The body doesn't work like that. Everything must be trained in balance or shit happens down the line.

On a final note, realize that everybody can call themselves a "trainer" without having any formal education. And even if they do, most of the courses are terrible. Statistically speaking, the guy you were talking to is useless.

>>35500003
He told me my muscles are too weak for deads and ohp. I'm not strong at all, just your average dyel, but I'm sure I could at least learn proper form and do it with very light weights. Oh yeah, when I told him I wanted to try ohp, he went to the smith machine (i wonder why tho)

>>35500044
>He told me my muscles are too weak for deads and ohp
Unless you're so weak you can't physically keep yourself upright that is such bullshit.

If I'm going to pay someone to show me how to do something, and they won't do it, I'll find someone else.

What the fuck is up with trainers always getting their clients to do calf raises?

Every fucking client I see with a trainer they get the m on the calf machine

>>35499895
Lel I went to school with that Syrian slut

>>35500044
Can you lift your arms straight above your head?
Can you lower your back, while keeping it straight?
If yes, then there's some weight light enough for you to get the form right.

>>35500108
She's Syrian? Do you have her IG btw?

>>35500122
I posted her instagram on /int/ and they she deleted all of her social media accounts after that lol

If you are the pic in OP (almost 99% certain I know the girl IRL) then I don't blame the guy as the girl is borderline anorexic and would never trust you with DL unless you actually put some weight on.

>>35500143
Oh fuck. Do you at least have any more of her pics? She's a legit 10/10 despite shit heritage

Mate I have cerebral palsy and I still do bench, squats, deadlift and OHP. Ditch the guy. Start with light weight and watch vids and read to educate yourself about proper form.

>>35500247
Damn props to you

Drop him like it's hot. You will get more use out of just youtubing proper form and recording yourself doing these said exercises to make sure it matches up. Make sure you call him a retarded sack of shit though.

Are you prehaps the trainer jewfag?

Why y'all hating on the PT? I would do the exact same thing in his shoes. No point in teaching someone exercises he can injure himself in, especially in murica where your client could sue you. It's not like he should care about your gains, he's not your best friend or anything, he's just doing his job.

>>35501291
All gyms have you sign a liability waiver before you can become a member though

>>35501291
I'm not from 'Murica tho

>>35500079
"Oh man the trainer gave me a workout so hard I couldn't walk afterwards! Surely he must be doing something right! I'll keep paying him money"

>>35499895
>because I could injure myself and he'd be responsible

Undeniably true. He would be liable if you hurt yourself, and in case you haven't noticed from the 10 or so posts a day about it, people do get hurt doing the big 4.

His options are

1) teach you the big 4 and run the risk of you being dumb and going to snap city, suing him, and losing his job

2) don't do that

Consequence of american sue happy culture desu senpai

>>35499945
Implicando
One can't train the same way forever, one can't have perfect form always, one can't look at oneself while lifting.

>>35500044
why would you pay somebody to not teach you what you want to know?

>>35501400
can OP find a gym where people actually lift

>>35499945
perhabs in your poverty gym

>>35502726
I'm not paying him shit. Maybe that's the problem

>>35500185
Can't let this thread die m8

One last bump for humanity

>>35499895
Experiment yourself and try new exercises at a safe weight but don't expect immediate results. If they keep trying to sell you something or prevent you from doing something b/c they'll get in trouble, drop them. And stop going to Planet Fatness.
