^^^^I take it your a trainer. More power to you, bro. But I must say that a trainer isn't a trainer isn't a trainer. Hiring one isn't a guarantee of anything (bearing no supposed reflection on you). Research can kind of follow the same winding path. Here's the rub if you really pay attention. All these injuries that people talk about beginners getting....they pale next to the chronic overuse injuries that people develop or the catastrophic injuries that advanced lifters get sometimes.

Of course you need education and proper guidance. But with proper guidance and starting out with apporpriate weight the idea that a beginner is gonna pick it up and "pop" there goes a muscle is poppycock to me. Much more likely is that he'll be fine and dandy but will never learn proper movement patterns or how to structure a balanced workout, maybe because some "trainer" didn't really know either (again, no offense) and all that years down the road will lead to a bunch of chronic injuries. And in the beginning it will have nothing to do with free weights but simply with "bad learning". I'm not trying to just disagree with you. I'm being realistic about where most of the injuries actually come from.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
