Other trainer at my gym says i train wrong?

[the.gladiator1987]

I have all my clients doing deadlifts, squats, bench, basically working them out and using fairly heavy weight too. She never does this to her clients because she says they only care about losing inches, not getting stronger. I explain how muscle burns more calories. And how these exercises burn more calories then sitting at machines. But she insists that I need to start doing more cardio/toning up training. Wtf?

So do I need to start having them go at a faster pace? Seems like i provide the weight training, their diet is up to them (even tho i give them advice and tell them what to eat), and they can do their own cardio

thats tough. guess it depends on each persons goal. if they want to shed 100 lbs, put 'em on cardio, if they want to get stronger and shed a few lbs, put 'em on weight lifting. Your one of the few trainers I would trust...Most of them suck and don't know a thing about exercise. Its fuckin' pathetic and I get pissed everytime I see a trainer doing some exotic, sport specific training on a heavily obese lady. I cant stop but have it interupt my training as I stare in amazement.

next time she opens her mouth, put your dick in it for her.

lol fixed.

anyway IMO if the clients are happy and enjoying it then keep them doing that, if they are lazy and just wanna do machines, then incorperate some machines into their program. Keep them happy whilst they get results.

Remember though if you take all her advice and train clients the same as her what is it about you that will make fat people want to come to you to be trained instead of going to her?

Cardio is needed don't treat it as an after thought and sure you should keep the workouts fresh and interesting or else people get bored of doing the same thing over and over, plus the body adapts and getting results becomes harder...

when i joined the gym back in the good old days my personal trainer had me working out with my own weight doing push ups and kinda cardio. i think you are doing good becasue what i wanted when i first started was grabbing the weight not running and doing all this sissy stuff.

if its female clientel, circuit training with 30 to 45 seconds rest will continue to get results which will keep the clients happy which will keep the money coming in.

lol @ "toning up" training

you're doing fine dude- the people who want real results will come to you.

I have so much info in my head, that if i can "download" it into someone elses, then they would see great results. i go to golds gym and alot of trainers show their clients alot of exercises that i never do. they also superset alot of things, drop sets, and circuit training, because that burns more calories then just doing a set of bench presses then taking a 2-4 minute break. and 95% of the clients DO NOT have their diet in check so burning more calories will give them better results because of their crappy diet. Also, some people think its boring to do a set that take 45 seconds then take a 4 minute break. depends what kind of look youre going for, athletic type look or bodybuilder type look. i personally like the bodybuilder look, but not over 200 pounds. im a big fan of the "202" class in the pro bodybuilding comps.
