Hi peoples

I'm 27, female and weigh about 62kgs (sorry to speak in kilos to you all, I'm from Oz). I've been doing gym for nearly two years, doing weights and cardio. Nothing really tough. About four weeks ago I changed gyms. To start with they gave me a one day program, upgraded it and then changed to a split program.

My chest program now includes four sets of rack pulls. 5 at 80kg, 5 at 100kg, 3 at 130kg and 10 at either 80 or 100kg (I can't remember). I managed to do it the first time when the trainer was with me. The second time I was at gym early in the morning and I only got through my first set. I tried four times to lift the second one and then a different trainer came in and I told him how I couldn't lift it today. He was surprised I was doing rack pulls at all. It's now obvious that you're not supposed to do them at 7:30am. He asked me if I was a power lifter at all. I'm just some chick who does gym! He asked how long I'd been lifting weights. He didn't seem to think I should be doing them. He asked me what I was trying to achieve (fitness, strength, tone). He noted that I wasn't wearing a belt, and said that I would be stretching my abdominal wall. He suggested that one of the other trainers review my program, but he didn't book me in to do it or anything.

Just thought I'd see what opinions are out there. My trainer seems to expect me to get stronger every week. Thanks for your time.
