  How does a good coach alter a weight training program to become more productive?

  A good coach learns how to play mental games and change the goal by doing more or fewer reps, changing sequence, exercises, or by just lying to them when telling them the poundage on the bar. Coach, training partner, personal trainer, whoever you are, there is always something you can do to keep a mental edge.

  How do you know if a guy or a personal trainer doesn’t know much about strength training?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  When a guy brags about his body fat percentage instead of what he can lift, you KNOW he doesn’t know very much about strength training. For arms, he should know that hammer curls with thick handled dumbbells are a terrific arm builder. He should also know that it takes a man to say NO to anabolic steroids, and he must understand that it is impossible to use anabolic steroids and be a champion at any sport. The most you can do in taking steroids in become a phony with a first place medal or trophy. Of course a personal trainer will only know all this if he knows much about strength training.

  What’s the difference between a coach and a personal trainer?

  1 Answer(s)

  Max Power

  A coach does what he does best, not always what the athlete or client wants, and it’s up to the athlete to either follow his advice or don’t be on the team. In short, the coach tells the athlete to either get with the program or quit. A personal trainer or most of them on the other hand, in my opinion, will do anything to get paid. They don’t really have a training philosophy, and while I have nothing personal against them truth is they will do whatever the clients want in order to get their money.

  How can you tell if someone, even a personal trainer, has no clue about strength training?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  You can tell right off the bat if someone has no clue about strength training if the dominant topic of their conversation is about getting cut or ripped and not about getting stronger. They know exactly what their body fat percentage is, but never mention how much they can lift or their training poundages. Sadly, the majority of the personal trainers are guilty of this as well. Just because you have low body fat it doesn’t mean you are serious about strength training. A single digit bodyfat doesn’t make a person a hardcore lifter. Being cut simply means to reduce the fat that surrounds the muscle to better enable it to be seen. This has nothing to do with strength training.

  What can I expect from a good fitness trainer?

  1 Answer(s)

  0

  Max Power

  A good fitness trainer is a knowledgeable strength coach, and is a man loaded with practical and effective training advice. By practical experience, this means he needs to practice what he preaches and he needs to exhibit fitness as well. If he is a strength coach, he has to be strong as well otherwise he would be doing a disservice to all the other strength coaches. For a personal trainer to be considered a cut above the rest, his credentials must go beyond the qualifications and the documents he has to his name. He may have all the certifications known to man, but if he cannot motivate, educate, and push another person to become better physically then that makes him no different from the other garden variety trainers out there.

  How do I choose a personal trainer?

  Before enlisting the help of a trainer, make sure he is certified by a well-known organization such as the American Council of Exercise (ACE). Because of such certifications you can be guaranteed that your trainer knows his business because he went through a stringent certification process and has proven his knowledge in exercise science and in creating training programs. After all you wouldn’t go to an unlicensed doctor would you? Check his rates as well, see if your schedule lines up, and ask for references so you can verify how experienced he is in his line of work. A trainer may have certification, but nothing beats real world experience especially in prescribing programs and diet plans.

  Are personal trainers eligible to giving diet advice?

  1 Answer(s)

  Jenie Ortiz

  Personal trainers specifically are knowledgeable about exercises and the system approach to weight management using activities/movement. They have in depth knowledge to fitness and each client can be assessed and monitored for the appropriate exercise based on their capability and total health. SOME personal trainers have knowledge, experience, expertise to health and nutrition and they are capable in providing instruction or advice. But they are eligible if they are licensed nutritionist-dietitian.
