I'm not taking a personal trainer who can't bench 135 seriously. I was doing that 2 weeks after I was in the gym at 120 pounds.

exactlyAnd I'm not saying I don't disagree but looking the part isn't everything. I mean Armold looks like a slob by today's measures but would anybody turn down advice if he gave it to them?
THIS.Thibodeau is one of the best writers on that site.

Caneen lie I used to be one of those guys who didn't listen to a another guy who tried to give advice if they didn't look the part. And while I still do in some way believe in the notion that right = results I do take more heed into taking in information even if they don't have the typical bodybuilder look.
It's also a reason I'll never talk down on a crossfitter either. A lot of those folks are in crazy good shape with the strength to back it up.
You don't have to be a world class athlete with 6% body fat to be a good personal trainer/coach, but you should at least practice what you preach.

well yeah of course. But people with credentials probably aren't dropping the bar on their chest.I'm not taking a personal trainer who can't bench 135 seriously. I was doing that 2 weeks after I was in the gym at 120 pounds.
Would your opinion changes if that person had credentials behind them?
mix with protein powder. I go oikos or fageCan anyone recommend some unflavored Greek (or regular) yogurt that doesn't taste terrible if there is such a thing? I tried some plain dannon oikos Greek yogurt because the flavored yogurts were loaded with sugar and it was terrible. Tried putting fruit and granola in and it helped but I still couldn't finish it.

When I was going to LA Fitness, the trainers be on their phone or staring at the wall when their clients are 'working out' Just sad.
Don't even get me started on the LA Fitness "trainers". Sometimes I feel bad for the people who hire them. Id give them better pointers for free.
Man if one thing I learned is that kines majors/PT dont know **** about the body b. sure they can tell you all the muscles but they cant tell you what you gotta do to achieve your goalI don't really trust trainers at most gyms in general.
My boy's girlfriend got a job as a personal trainer at NYSC (I think it's NYSC). She's a physical therapy student and got some certifications. But chick don't work out. She's not fat but has a sloppy body. I've never seen her teach but idk if I would hire her as my trainer if I went to her gym.
I think people who hire these kinda trainers at most gyms have got to be newbies, so they don't know any better.
