Did that yesterday!!!
I have been working out for almost 3 years now why would I waste money on a trainer when I can learn anything I need on youtube.
Hiring a trainer is not a waste of money. A trainer will keep u on the path to achieving goals, push u to the max. Think of a trainer as another tool in the tool chest. There are good ones and bad ones but if u find a good one they are worth every cent of what they charge. Youtube is for movies and music, not a substitute for a trainer.
I get what your saying cause a lot of times I am like **** wish I had a work out partner would be easier and I would get more out of the work outs.
Right now work just started getting busy again playing catch up with bills stupid condo I sold for the 3rd time now hopefully makes to closing this time smh after I get everything situated again I think your right making an investment for a few months would really push me to where I need to go.
Some people achieve greater results with a workout partner and others do not. I have never been the type to use a partner, for me the workout would take more time out of my busy schedule. I mostly see younger guys in the gym with a partner and they are the ones who do more talking than working out.
Some guys dont even like commercial gyms, thus the reason they have home gyms. Everyone is different, u need to find what works best for you....
Yeah this is exactly why I have a few memberships and stopped going to the gym I went to the most cause I ended up befriending people and then conversations messed up my work outs so I stopped going there and go to a different location and I refuse to make any friends there just work out and leave.
I always thought fd was just a perv that hung out here for muscly guys. Looks like he actually knows a bit
I'll echo some other opinions.
In my opinion, you should have standalone days for:
Back
Legs
Chest
I like to add secondary movements to each of those cornerstone days every week, such as triceps on chest day, biceps on back day, etc.
If you want to drop weight build muscle mass and step up your cardio.
Here is my recipe:
Monday: Calves and abs
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Off
Friday: Chest and Shoulders
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Legs
Legs is the only group I do by itself. My belief has always been if you can do anything with legs you aren't doing legs hard enough. I purposely don't do antagonistic body parts (e.g chest and back) My thought is that when you do chest you are tightening those muscles thus putting you in the position where it will be hard to full contract my back. I much rather put muscles that work in synergy on the same day (chest, delts, tris for example)
To prove the point you can try this experiment. Do a pull down centric back workout, after all that pulling down...ask how well positioned are your delts to push up? Mine are sh*t.

Good point on the pull down example lol
No arms anywhere?
