gains and money(aka jews) goblins

>>34896895
so it's a no then?

>>34896974
Youre basically giving money because you think its gonna make stuff easier. Its not, they cant lift instead of you. Develop some discipline and youll understand how useless a pt is.

>>34896988
A lot of people lack that, hence why i'm a pt

if you get a good one.
great from time to time.

but. big fat butt.

finding a good one is not likely. chances are there isn't even a good one at your gym.

Easy money for you anon, never a lack of weak willed shits to exploit. If youd give them shitty excercises so they cant progress properly so you can munch more money itwould be pretty devilish

>>34896891
Find a pt who calls himself a powerlifter or a bodybuilder. Most are a bunch of faggots who look okay and if you ask them what their goals are or what area of fitness they're in they'll say some dumb shit about being fit and healthy. Find one who is down to earth and doesn't act like he's on crack and only teaches movements that are staples ie bug five, curls, extensions. No medicine ball, bosu ball, flying supinated hamstring hypers.

Source: I was a pt for two weeks before I rage quit.

Worst 700 bucks I ever spent, and I used to be addicted to speed. Fuck the fitness industry. Seriously just read SS. It's not the best but it's a great starting point.

Depends on what you want to spend: Time or money.
Either you spend time and learn that shit yourself, figuring out how to make a meal and exercise plan.
Or you pay a professional to do this shit for you. But like everywhere you could met the wrong person who's not good in his field or worse, tries to swindle you out of your money.

Everyone here will tell you to read up on that shit yourself, but they forget that not everyone here is a neet with too much time on their hands.

i might take advantage of my gyms "try your first coaching session for free" offer, and then just get the guy to help me with my power clean form.

good idea?

The majority of them are underqualified and overcharging. Just make friends, they'll give you lifting advice and motivation for free. At my old gym, 2 of my friends were PTs, we'd lift together, nothing that they knew was revolutionary.

Yeah. My uni as well as two gyms I've tried give a training session free, it's good to take advantage of these to make sure your form and routine are in order and you aren't getting stagnant. Honestly if you have a strong mind you can push yourself alone, but if you're new or haven't made progress you'd like then a free pt sesh is a great idea.
