everyone just went the gym and did the heaviest weights they could reasonably do? Nowadays we have these personal trainers trying to make it out like they have the exact scientific formula for getting big and that if you just do the old fashioned way (actually putting some effort into it yourself) then you will end up with less gains.
Are these guys just trying to create a market for something useless because they couldn't handle the real job market or am i wrong here?

most personal trainers dont know where they talk about. at our gym the only one who is worth listening to is the owner.

true
case in point, i'm certified and i don't know a fucking thing
Don't get me wrong, I can get a trainer's job due to my handsomeness alone

Haha maybe he's picturing himself holding on to his imaginary boyfriend in the doggy position.
LOL at Show's pics ;D

Getting them in shape would be bad business in terms of retaining customers. The level of intensity in most gyms i've seen recently approaches that of a library.
-
Why do schmoes even pay for personal training..
Just the equivalent of just flushing your $$$ down the toilet..
One guy I see in the gym w/ a personal trainer, always has this look on his face, non-motivated, and the "why am i here" face.
Yet he puts down hundreds of dollars per week and he still looks like shit :(
-
;D

looks like fun keith.

because everybody is worried that they will wake up one day and look like arnold

The worst thing is when chicks say "I dont wanna lift hard cuz I get really muscular"
WORST FING EXCUSE EVER
personal trainers around here are terrible- that ball shit has gotta go
I dont mind it though- cuz if everyone knew what we do, more people wd have good physiques- take pride in the fact that there arent many, so let them think what they are doing is productive

Don't forget the fabulous wood chopping exercise! I'm going to kill myself.

At my gym, the owner is just another fat guy, who's out for money. I doubt he EVER worked out.

All around strong "cores" in this thread.

Yep. Stupid beliefs. However, the women are the worst. But yeah, I laugh at the clowns who refuse to train hard cause, "they don't wanna get too big". As if it were that easy..... ::)

The pic is cool. But how did the client get on the ball? Then how on earth did the Trainer get the bar on his back?
-
Who is that fruitcake on the ball? I know that pic has been around for awhile, but the resilient getbiggers need to find out who he is and deal with him...

Well, they need jobs. So they latch onto any Mickey Mouse shit they can in order to portray an illusion of progress.
The smart people are the one's doing the big compound movements, doing only one set heavily to failure, and not doing that very often. Those are the ones that won't look the same next year. ;)

Thats the funniest shit I have EVER heard! "Trainers know the pefect formulad for getting huge"?. I never seen a f_a_g_g_o_t ass personal trainer bigger than 170 pounds. Their all cardio freaks and more worried about playing with the big ass beach balls in the gym and thinkin they can get pussy. Cant get pussy when your only pullin in 30 grand a year and sportin a Daewoo Lagonza. They are funny to watch though. Their worse than guys with lat syndrome.

most trainers are so insecure the worst thing that could happen to them is to actually make their clients get bigger than them. I like it how some of em who at least have some muscles (VERY FEW of course) teach the most useles and unefective exercises to complete newbies while everyone in the know know that they re are training with weights themselves.
Talk about being an asshole with 0 ethic.
on a side note, most newbies are complete retards...i cant even remember how many times skinny fat guys or girls started their first workout saying "i dont want to get too muscular"... ::)
you really know you're going to waste one hour of your life with them, so when you're at it, at least let's enjoy it and make em do the most stupid crap you can imagine while trying your best not to laugh at them. Some clients are really asking for it. And it's funny to ridicule em in front of the whole gym crowd.

I bet when he posted that pic on the net he thought everyone would think he is strong mofo, but then it backfired on him......

We should be grateful for such diversity, as it can ultimately achieve miraculous things:

As I've said many at time, the trainers at my gym are tools with virtually zero knowledge. They just hired a few more, to replace the only competent ones they had. It's funny, cause they'll watch me do things, and next thing you know, they're doing them or having their clients do them. ;D
-

Neither should I ? FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. You dont know me, you dont fuckin know what I been through in my life. Who the fuck are you to tell me what I should and should not be? I spent years in the army dealing with these n@#$%^s from all over the world and guess what pal, their ALL the fuckin same - useless fucking human beings. I've lived in combat situations with these monkeys and guess what, they dont give a fuck about you and me so until you been through situations where these monkies are SUPPOSSED to have your back, dont fuckin tell me what I should and should not do. I am a racist, and thats not from "hear say", thats from real world fucking experience that I have lived through.

My gym goes through a lot of trainers too. Thats cause they cant live on 12 dollars an hour and finally wake the fuck up and realize its not as "glamorous" as they thought it would be. Personal training is a PART TIME JOB at best.

You're right. Fuck that shit. The ones at my gym are there from like 5 am to like 8 pm. FUCK THAT!

Holy shit, I've never realized these things until I've spoken to a person whose had real life experiences far different than any I've had or heard of. THERE'S TRASH IN EVERY RACE. There's also decent people in every race. It's not the color that causes it, genius. Something bad may have happened to you, but it wasn't the color that caused it, it was that particular individual.
-

Thats a good point now that you mention it. No way I could do that. I make enough dough in 8 hours. I think a lot of these dipshits have to work that long just make the rent payment. Pretty sad really. I'm sure some of them are even dumb enough to think they have a "cool" job.

It was the person and not the color? Your a fucking idiot. ALL the nebs I met in the army were ALL fucking lazy. They were the first people to disappear when there was work that needed to be done and dont give me that its the person shit. Just look at ESPN, every days its the fucking jiggers that are shooting each other or themselves in nightclubs. Whens the last time you saw an NHL'er in a fucking shoutout or beating up fans???? Thats fine by me if your one of those tree huggers that likes to act like we are all the same. Your just fucking delusional and havent seen any real life situations with these junebugs. Poor sheltered folk.

koolie, you listen here and listen REAL GOOD.
I base my judgements not blindly but on real life experience.
It is apparent you haven't known many black people in your life.
You are blind to the diversity within races themselves. ::)

I have met hundreds and hundreds of porch monkies fella. I can count all the hard working ones on one hand too. YOU obviously havent met many cause if you did, you would be singin a different tune bud.

Most people w/ personal trainers don't really want to transform their bodies - they just subconsciously feel good that they have done some exercise under supposedly professional supervision.
In my gym, most of the people who use trainers are 40-50 y.o. and range totally out of shape. They should do a reality check for themselves: 40+ years of eating junk, drinking, no exercise - now they suddenly woken up and want to transform themselves over few months....
My former boss was at it - for 12 months 3 times a week w/ a personal trainer....looks shit just like he was 12 months ago - no change whatsoever!
B.S. sells

We're comparatively clued in around here. It's easy to forget just how misinformed people can be in terms of physique development. Someone with basically zero gym time is making a wise choice by using a good PT. Of course, it's finding a good one that's the trick. A knowledgeable exercise and nutrition guy is exactly what most of these people need, if only for a couple weeks, to set them on the right track.

generally agreed but:
1. not when they are 45+, obese, and never exercised in their life
2. 99% of these PT's feed them bull shit advice
Example: making moderately obese 45 y.o. woman squat with a barbell - how the f...k is that gonna make her healthier?
a hernia and messed up knee caps guaranteed....

Poor Sheltered person, And i have met black folk in the military that say the same of white folk...
And let's not forget, At one time in the 1800's to the early 20th century, white folk were killing each other like crazy as well. Yet Jesse James and others are idolized.
You haven't met that many black folk in the military. Plus, many of the people goig into the military today, black white, latino, are going not because they Can't find a job, but because they are complete fuck ups (maybe yourself included), the military has lowered it's standards, many people I have seen the recruiters get have multiple criminal cases, and either have been found guilty or are Porbation status or Stet.

most of the recruited gals and girls are students doing a part time job.
Absolutely every guy who lift weights since more than a year and has some "internet knowledge" destroy the employees of these cheap "chain" gyms.
