Yea..Yea... Old post, I know but wanted to throw in my 2 cents for all that may visit as a result of a topic search, etc. I'm not sure to what extent you're familiar with Joe or Sean Eltats but I know them both as well. My name is Stacy and I actually grew up with joe and competed with sean. Personally I think that anyone can't go wrong with either guy. Both have extensive knowledge when it comes to both competing and training clients. Joe is no longer working with bodybuilders so Sean is probably anyones best bet by far. I know Florida has had some very good trainers over the years but to be honest, I haven't seen anyone come into a show with the quality and hardness that exemplifies the 90's when conditioning was on another level.... so in my opinion Sean would be the best bet for anyone these days as he is familiar with bringing clients into a show with that level of hardness and doing it consistently .
