Wasn't he the person who measured Flex Wheeler at 0.0% body fat?

Are you saying that in the posing room at Golds Jim Quinn measured Flex Wheelers body fat at 0.0%?

You wouldn't believe it because you don't have the dedication to push your body to the limits!

I accept this challenge. I will do every workout, rep and set, Jim puts Shane through. I will get down to 0.0% bf in time for Wrestlemania and post results.

;D I've heard about this...

The Future is now the past.
Dude's arms are torn all to shit.
Not to be a mean person, but isn't being a personal trainer in some nowhere gym kinda lame when you were once a professional bodybuilder? Either make millions selling fart powder to impressionable and ignorant kids or find a career outside of the Schmoe-universe.

I was trying to find pics of the Masters O show he did in 2000 and I noticed his fucked arms as well in some of the more recent pics.
Quinn had a killer side chest, sort of like Fux, but his waist was pretty damn wide and since he was taller, he struggled with his legs looking balanced.

No. It's a perfectly respectable landing given the alternatives we are all too familiar with. You say "once a professional bodybuilder" as if that were an entry into some kind of rarefied place. It isn't. Appearing in a male beauty pageant doesn't entitle you to anything other than a few minutes of fame and a posing session with Joe Weider, Blechman, McMahon, etc. Once that short ride is over, you have to go back to real life. In this case, personal training.
Very few pro BB turn their ride on the merry go round into something sustainable, profitable, healthy, etc.: Arnold, Zuccolotto, Haney...
Bah!

What you write is what I mean. The guy needs to find a legit profession ... if he's not hawking fart powder.

Jim Quinn along with Gary Strydon & Eddie Robinson were the WBF's main guys when Vince McMahon had the WBF...Saw the show in Atlantic City was good but the WBF did not last long. Jim probably stayed close buddies with the McMahon's and Vince looks good for almost 70 years old!
-
Jim Quinn still sporting a fanny pack?
-
i see jim has zero respect for the facility.
putting plates onto the upholstery is just plain rude.
in addition, using 2 benches for pushups?!- thats inconsiderate also. there is absolutely no advantage, and in fact it requires more setup time, put away time and benches arent for shoes to be on them.
more evidence that the sport is full of dumb asses.

Yes, I believe that is where it took place. A legendary day in bodybuilding history for sure.

I don't think you appreciate the subtleties of being a Personal Trainer: the overly complicated exercise selection which requires a set up, the feigned concern for form, the occasional word of encouragement, the plate placed on Shane's back, so that it could be removed during the set.
That's a guy who knows how to make himself appear useful. 8)

Interesting since Joe Defranco trains Stephanie McMahon, HHH and the Undertaker (and a few more).

Coach,
Do you think this is an appropriate exercise for a 46 year old man, in this case, Shane?
IMO, there's no reason to put his wrists in a bent back position, risking nerve and tendon strain, for marginal at best benefits when simple bench dumbbell presses would allow Shane to keep his wrists in a neutral position.

you forgot slowly working your way to banging your female clients and then still making them pay you to train them and then they're like "but I thought we were dating?" question when you charge them.....they still pay though
EDIT: for the record- I NEVER did that when I trained women.......or MEN you predictable assholes

Not to mention the rep counting. :o

Good point.
Are you at all jealous that you are being left out of the WWE action?
There are several wrestlers currently injured, maybe you can train one of them during their rehab.

J.K Simmons training there to I see, got a bit of a belly on him at the moment

Yeah, you're right. I've been out of the game for many years. I was bound to forget a few things, like rolling up your shirt sleeves and using your arms as a sales tool:

bro--I just bit the bullet and said "Fuck it" and just started wearing my short sleeve shirts in a medium instead of doing the shirt sleeve roll
-

At first glance, I thought it was two benches, as well, but on closer inspection, it's two Dumbbells set up vertically. Stuff like that is what a trainer does to appear innovative. I'm reminded of the classic "Guy doing squats on the stability ball" pic.

If someone is making an honest living, who really cares what they do.
For all anyone knows, maybe Jim makes $100K plus per year running execs through their "paces"

Ah, not an exercise choice I would do but if it works, it works. 46 isn't old. He's just fine. After all, he's going into a ring getting slammed, thrown around and what not. lol

No. That's why I only train one fighter. I could make a great living training just fighters but not as a scam like Dolce. I trained a lot of fighters in the past but I'm pretty much done with them.

Btw, for Getbig's aspiring trainers, Jim commits a Trainer Faux Pas in the clip: He puts his hands in his pockets.
Doing this tips off that you're bored out of your mind and can't wait for the hour to end.
What you want to do is pretend that the set of push ups taking place in front of you is the most important thing in the world. Keeping your hands active, by occasionally clapping, or making a fist to emphasize the seriousness of the situation, helps create this illusion. ;)

Top trainers count reps with fingers, as shown countless times in flex

Apparently, counting reps is a dated practice. Today's trainers seem to opt for verbal cues, relying heavily on the word, "Core."
"Keep that Core tight!"
"Maintain that Core!"

ah yes, i missed that.
either way, its still a regular pushup being made awkward, using dumbells as a prop and a bench for his shoes.
one out of balance move and the dumb bell falls, broken wrist and a smashed tooth.
there is absolutely no benefit of doing it this way.

A Trainer always wants to present himself as having built the better mousetrap. Including numerous wacky exercises in the routine is a way to achieve this effect.
If Jim were to take your advice, he'd run the risk of Shane asking himself, "Why am I paying this guy to watch me do push ups?"

A good trainer yells the rep count aloud so that everyone in the gym knows exactly what rep you're on. He/she will also videotape what your doing and put it on Instagram...

maybe he had an itch on his nuts

That he had to scratch with both hands?
Even if this were the case, a Trainer needs to be an Alpha at all times. You can't afford to let a client see you engaged in a Beta activity such as scratching one's ballsack.
To Jim's credit, he quickly took his hands out of his pockets when he realized his mistake.

Bay likey!

Scratching one's nuts whenever you want to is straight up alpha.
But I will defer to _aj_ on this one for the correct answer.

We're going to have to agree to disagree. Scratching your balls infers that your balls itch.
Itchy balls are a sign of weakness and imperfection, much like having a zit. A Trainer needs to create the aura that he's above common afflictions.
That said, I too will defer to AJ.
*********
Another note to aspiring Trainers. The Personal Training market is not very large. There aren't that many suckers, I mean clients, to around. So, you always want to make it seem as though you're the only one who knows what he's doing and every other Trainer is incompetent.
Allow me to demonstrate:

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about! Where did you get your Certification, Walmart?
