I am blown away at how useless personal trainers can be. Yesterday at my gym I see this typical female personal trainer with her tight black yoga pants, blonde hair in a pony tail carrying around a clipboard training this first time gym using chubby asian girl. I felt bad for this girl. Instead of just teaching her the basics on her first day this dumbass trainer has this poor girl rolling around on a big ball trying to do presses. What the F*ck is it about personal trainers obsession with these overblown bouncing balls? This bitch would not shut up either. Instead of trying to help this poor girl or even give her pointers, she is just blabbing away about her personal shit while this girl is trying to get through a set. I saw an ad posted on a wall that these trainers are charging $75 and hour. $75 for this shit. What a waste of money. The pathetic part was that the gym was empty at the time. She could have used any machine or weight there to teach this girl what she needs to know, instead she has her rolling on her ass trying to balance on a ball. PATHETIC. I got in, trained and finished and she was still blabbing away talking about the most BS training philosophies. Why do these people try to be different?
Even the guru's are pathetic. Look at Charles Glass. people rant and rave about him, yet most of the guys he has trained recently have gotten worse. Jerome Ferguson dropped placing from last year, Gunter has dropped placing. Yet Jenny Lynn won. Basically his little techniques of avoiding heavy weights and doing some BS "unique" lifts aren't working. But they work for little girls trying to stay lean.
I saw on the fit show that Glass was making his guys do close grip bench press with an EZ curl bar and a press machine. Come on man. these are 300 pounds beasts and they are doing this gay variation of a lift. Have them do it on a bench like a real man would. Ronnie would, Jay would but he had Gunther and Jerome looking like little fags and look how it paid off. They both were smooth and lost a shitload of detail from last year because they aren't lifting like men anymore.
Give it up you useless personal traniners. Years and years of experience have proved that the basics work, bench, squats, pull ups, curls etc.... Give up on this bouncy ball shit and your "unique" lifts that do nothing for anyone. Most of these people end up losing weight and praising how good the trainer was, but in reality it was the fact they got thier asses off the couch and actually moved that helped them lose weight, not these useless personal trainers.
Rant over. Move on, nothing to see here anymore.
