It's better than some cyclist who won't give you the hookup and is having you squat at the smith machine desu

>>42005990
He had me doing rows on the smith machine. Is that bad?

>>42005990
He also told me that being able to bench your bodyweight is impressive and for advanced lifters. Is that accurate bc BW sounds low for a good bench for "advanced" lifters to me

>>42006050
No. Unless you're a fat tub of lard, you should be able to bench your bw after a month at the most

>>42006089
>you should be able to bench your bw after a month at the mos

Uh depends on your level of training beforehand...

I'm tempted to fuck off with my PT and just go to the big red guy in my gym for advice. And maybe discuss prices for gear (I'm a skelly, dont judge)

>>42006102
He said a month of training...

If you take gear while still a smelly you're going to permanently disfigure yourself. Don't be stupid.

How so?

If it didn't lead to sex at his apartment, you are being scammed.

Walking up to a random stranger and asking him for roids is going to get you punched.

>>42006276
He's not a stranger, it's a small gym and we are acquainted

You don't know enough about fitness to even consider pumping yourself full of hormones. Learn and progress for a few years before you even consider it.

I can't wait that long dude I'm tired of being a skellyfag

>should've noped out right there
>score 5/5 on stamina after a 7 min stationary bike ride, 4/5 on strength after being able to do 20 push-ups (kek)

When did you realize PT's are a meme?

>>42006829
Most pt's dont have actual degrees. They get like little licenses to work with.

>>42006829
Yesterday when I trained with mine

>>42006927
>They get like little licenses to work with.
Did you really just type out "like" you fucking moron

>PT looks almost as DYEL as me

People who know what they're doing don't fart around with crappy jobs. That goes for any industry, OP.

You could put enough juice in you to kill a bull elephant but if you don't eat right and enough it won't do anything. Get your diet in check first. Your body won't build up from using nothing. This is coming from a guy who used to weigh 130 at 6'.

Had the same shit happen to me back when I first started.
Seriously fell for the "don't use free weights until you lose weight, it's dangerous".
Didn't properly start losing fat until I started using barbells and dumbbells.

>>42006192
PT's are supposed to work out for you dumb ass, they're like Chinese farmers for gains. This is why he can't afford to keep any gains to himself, so if he had you working out you got scammed.
