had some faith in personal trainers restored today

[gridlock]

i was training earlier and was approached by a PT who was just floor walking

looks like a bit of an oddball and is major skinny but a friendly guy. his scottish accent is that broad that i often find it hard to understand him.

anyways, he's talking to me giving advice (albeit the most basic stuff) about how my diet should be and asking what i'm eating and stuff, but rather than cut him down i just let him carry on as the guy isnt doing any harm and theres no room in life to turn around to the guy and be an arrogant prick.

so he's sat there and says let me see your form on arm curls. all credit to the guy, he spotted me swinging the slightest amount with my head. he straightened me up and helped me out to the point where i was severely aching after 3 sets. driving home was a real struggle.

i think there's definitely a case for our own complacency kicking in when training. where we do things day in day out we often don't see any bad habits we're picking up. i've been training over ten years now and like to think i train quite intense and know what i'm doing, but this fresh set of eyes has definitely been a bonus for me, and if he was watching me doing any other movements i'd certainly not tell him to clear off.

I think you could make the same assumption about any givin occupation out there. There are people in every profession that are slap dick ,lazy, mo fo's just waiting to cash a check. Then there are some that strive to be the best they can be, no matter what they're doing.

Two kinds of people in the world, doers and bullshitters...
