Alright anon, let's get you toned. First up on our list

whoa there! that's enough squats for now, don't want you getting too bulky!

No no not that deep. That's bad for your knees.

>>38806716
Tone is an actual thing anon, but if you really knew anything about anatomy you would have known that.

>>38806749
Tomorrow we are going to test you, we will put 45 lb plates on this squat bar. You sure you want to do it?

Let's jump right over to the hip abductor machine - no free weights, or you might hurt yourself!

I did NOT pay for a gym membership to do fucking BODYWEIGHT exercises, Marcus.

>>38806716
But anon bodyweight squats are a good way for someone who has never worked out before to start.

>>38807712
he wants you to use machines because the gym's flow-rate will be higher with dyels on 15 machines and 20 cardio stations instead of them occupying the squat rack

>>38808041
>Marcus
This. Dunno how it's in burgerland but in poorope it's so lame calling someone by his first name just because he wears a name tag and demands to be called by hist first name right after meeting him

Do you think PTs endorse bitch weight machine splits so their clients won't sue if they snap their shit doing squats and deadlifts?

>>38808199
stfu EU shit

>>38808199
Well what the fuck else are you supposed to call them?

>>38808210

also it's much less effort than teaching people proper squat/deadlift form.

easier to say "just sit on the machine and give me 15 reps"

>>38808210
it's the dilemma of being a PT in a commercial gym.

risk vs reward

results vs no results

bad trainers with no-motivation clients need to "switch it up" to keep them from getting bored

whereas, motivated clients with good trainers understand that progressive loading + intrinsic motivation = success

>>38808181

That's a shame most trainers put their profit above actually helping someone.

Planet fitness is prime example, although no one buys planet fitness membership if he is serious about bettering himself.

>>38808199
Bullshit, everywhere I've been in Europe people call themselves by their first name.

Only retarded Germans call themselves shit like Herr Oberberger or whatever

>"Alright, so your workout plan will be 12 sets of Free Pizza each Friday for 4 weeks, after that we will see whether you can move on to Bagels"

Fucking hell joined a gym to lose weight
Was on the same 3x20 and hired a P.T. Because I was a noob

Fucking hell it was shit but I ain't complaining because my goal was for loss and I lost 45lbs but still have some regrets
>Hey let's do 3x20 of each
> Back-biceps, chest-shoulder-triceps, and legs split is good for you
> Squat on Smith machine it's safer
Do you know how much I was squatting after 6 months? Fucking 1pl8XDlmao fucking bullshit
And he wouldn't stop bothering me about renewing membership and hiring him as a P.T.
I changed gyms it was too expensive anyway
Why do they do this?

>>38808851
Because money.

>>38808851
>chest-shoulder-triceps

In one session? Dafuq
Even a PT has to know this is just retarded.

>>38808922
I only did machines brah. And dumbbells
He made me do bench press only once in the 6 months

>>38808210
As a PT, you stop giving a shit after week one.

The guys who were actually going to make it will probably take initiative, do their own research, and succeed anyway.

The guys who follow your bullshit and "tone" were probably doomed to start with.

>>38806784
Tone is the amount of "flexing" at rest, right?

>>38808922

Ever heard for PPL dumbfuck?

>>38809169
Actually no I haven't because I want to make progress and not be a fat fuck.

>>38809188
>I want to make progress and not be a fat fuck.
