So im talking to this High school guy (a senior), and he said he works out at this gym in my area and he trains with an ex-nfl guy who is a great trainer.
I'm thinking thats cool as hell. And im wondering what kind of stuff they do. Maybe I can learn something, maybe i'll check it out!
So I say, what kind of stuff do you guys do?
They say:
bench press, DB presses, leg press, leg ext. leg curl. seated rows, lat pull downs bicep curls some abs and speed drills.
I said:
WTF? Thats it, no squats or Deads?
They said:
No.
So i asked him how much he can bench... he said: "140 lbs."
So i asked him to show me his bench technique. He showed me the worst bench technique ever. The only thing he said they taught him was to use a closer grip. I then showed him how to keep his blades tight, arch and set-up. He then proceded to do 155 lbs for 5 reps.
This tells me that either the technique helped him get stronger, or they don't keep track of what he does, so the kid has no clue how strong he is.
Sounds like this guy is just using his "name" to get guys to train with him, but not teaching them shit.
I was bummed.
