he's a good trainer
Bite meSounds like you're annoyed that your PT is repeating things back to to often.
Technically there is some truth to this.
Will be interesting what others think? Its been discussed before.
Deadlifts with proper form and technique are great. However, this exercise is the most unforgiving, if you get it wrong, you will really screw your lower back.
World's strongest man (for deadlifts) in an interview with Joe Rogan, mentioned the risk to reward ratio for deadlifts is not worth it.
In fact many professional athletes in football etc etc, wont do deadlifts for the risk involved.
There are a number of 'safe' ways to deadlift.
Done correctly, it is by far the most beneficial exercise for the body.

numerous more beneficial exercises especially depending on the level of fitness.
Same.I deadlift light focus on time under tension and form.
Ultimately any exercise where you overlift is going to do damage, deads can just do way worse/more damage.
Brand of roids?Someone spoke to me today.
Before you campaigners roll your eyes at me and ask me what brand of 'roids I take, I was pissed off because I was spoken to mid set.
For the record, I really dont care if someone talks, asks, needs me if an anything I welcome it, but surely there is a time and place. Not mid set.
What'd they say to you?Someone spoke to me today.

Shithouse form by the PT, you don't tell a guy to jog on midsetDoesnt matter, they spoke to me. lol. No just joking.
Actually Im interested in your opinion and others here.
The PT asked me to move out of the way as I was near a machine. The machine in question was the hamstring curl. I was about 1.5m behind it and the client was even able to place his towel on it and also get on it.
Its not like the entire machine moves and there was absolutely zero chance he could have made contact with me when he was on it and using it. So I was a bit shitty and confused.
It was only later on, I figured that PT asked me to move so he could see his client using it and critique it from behind, as opposed to me impeding someone using the equipment. Even this I dont have a problem with and is totally fine and I would have been happy to do it. What f**ked me off is really disturbing me midset and dont forget, I have big arse headphones. So I actually had to physically stop my set, place the weights down and take my headphones off to hear what he had to say.
Funnily enough a situation presented itself later in my workout when a guy was doing trap shrugs where all the dumbbells were placed. I had no issue waiting 30s, if anything it allowed me to rest and to get ready to do another exercise.
Thanks mate.Shithouse form by the PT, you don't tell a guy to jog on midset
Gym PTs really don't care sometimes about etiquette, think they own the joint
PTs should belong in studios imo or work off peak
Also lol, why is he training someone on a hammy curl machine? Unless they're training a bodybuilder and making them do dropsets, there are plenty of other exercises that work the hamstrings, get them using dumbbells or kettlebells or something
+1Gym PTs ******* suck.
Always seem to be setting up 20 station circuits for their clients at peak times and just tell the rest of the gym goers to piss off.
They deserve their own special circle in hell.
I only speak to people who are standing around between sets and don't have headphones.
Some PTs have no clue, those stupid 8 week courses man, gyms hire dudes cos they're buff or because they can market themselves and bullshit their way up (I did 1 of them years ago and even then I would be humble and try and look at ways of helping a client, but I'd always build around compounds, particularly for beginners)Thanks mate.
Just wanted to get a different perspective here.
Dont get me started lol. The gym was basically empty too and he was doing random exercises with his client, this exacerbated me being f**ked off as I couldnt understand why he did ham curls when he later did back and then chest. They guy was a newbie too. Whats funny is that the client was doing the curls wrong and I have noticed with the ham curls the PT doesnt instruct correctly how to do them. I should have corrected the PT in front of the client, would have been funny.
Its the midset issue that peeved me off the most, yes youre right its shithouse. TBH if it was another person at the gym, I wouldnt have been f**ked off as some may or may not appreciate or understand etiquette.
Ive seen PT's use three different machines at once, using their clipboard as a "guard" for one of them. FMD.
Yeah PTs are not for me. Looking back over these 3 sessions I recently had, I dont like the "focus" on me, 100%.Gym PTs ******* suck.

“Most” people I know who use a PT do it for accountability. The “if I paid for it I don’t wanna waste it” which is completely fine, aside from high level athletes refining stuff most PTs don’t do much beyond the accountability stuff. Personally think your much better off coming up with a more intirinisc motivator. I prefer working out solo by so much it’s not funny but group stuff can be fun too!Yeah PTs are not for me.

I can see I really enjoyed group sessions tho. When my work provided them for the entire year, after school group sesh training. Was alot of fun and more of a relaxed vibe.
