In Response To: hmmm (BILLY MIMNAUGH)

That's so true about trainers at gyms. I was a trainer at a gym in Toronto for a few months, and it was just like that. I actually had the most "experienced" trainer tell me that "squats won't work for everyone" when it comes to building strength.

I also had a client who wanted to train PL, and one day he was working up to a max with DLs on a 3 inch platform. Another "experienced" trainer came over and asked "what muscle is this targeting". My client then tried to explain to the trainer about how to build a lift, but it was lost on the guy.

Yeha, commercial gyms are pretty messed up.
