good discussion, I'll throw in my two cents because I'm sure you all want to hear it

I've never used a PT, and there is a reason why. From the first day I walked into a comercial gym, there was pressure to pay extra for a PT. I was like 15, and there was one guy who pretty much everyone i knew went to. He was a monster, very strong, very lean, and very very slow. I knew after speaking to him for 2 minutes I would learn nothing from this guy ... every thing he told people to do, he couldnt explain why.

I'm not saying every PT is like this, I know of a few guys who have PT certs, and are amazing, but they are few and far between. If a PT cant explain to you why your doing, what your doing, chances are they dont know. They read about it, or they've done it for years cause one of thier bro's told them it worked good.

Layne Norton used to have a different version in his sig ... "What isnt making you stronger is Killing you.

I always liked that.
