Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[phcitywarrior]

Decent upper body AM workout. 3/3.

Initially was going to shorten the workout so I could meet my former manager in the city but she pushed to tomorrow so I’m good

The morning workouts really help me when it comes to nutrition during the day. It may all in my head, but I feel I make better nutrition choices after a great workout.

We move.

Ayo planet fitness ain’t that bad.

I recently moved and a PF is literally across the street so I went to hit it up for a free day pass during peak hours.

Nothing but old people and youngins not knowing what the fukk they’re doing. No steroids nikkaz trying to show out or whores coming in half naked with tripods.

If you ain’t trying to deadlift 600lbs or do power cleans, this is the spot for the price.

It's bad in the sense that they only have smith machines which means you never learn to lift properly there. That said, most people just want to be in decent shape so its the perfect gym for the average person.

Have any of you ever worked with a personal trainer? Worth it?

I have and my wife has as well.

Personal trainers are only as good as you make them. If you half ass the workouts and half ass the nutrition it’s going to be a waste of $. The gym I’m at had a ton of personal trainers and they have plenty of clients that look the same after 4 years because they coast. The trainers keep the hamster wheel going because it’s steady income.

I would really decide what you want out of it before doing it because you will maximize your spend by helping them build a program that works best for you.

I could rant on this for a while so happy to say more after you read my initial rant

I appreciate that perspective. I was asking because lately, while I have been consistently showing up, I don't really have a training program per se. I like to do my research on effective workouts, what good technique looks like, and picking up nutrition tips here and there but I am the type of person that does what I feel like doing most of the time. Hell, I haven't been keeping track of my numbers at all the past couple months. I feel like eventually I'm going hit a wall and need to apply some actual structure.

At the moment I'm looking at either joining a muy thai gym, taking strength and conditioning classes(it's at the same muy thai gym) or looking at a personal trainer for advice on combining weight training with the calisthenics I'm already doing

I actually really started with group fitness training. It was cool, really enjoyed and it was a good first step for me.

I don’t know that getting a personal trainer for advice on weight training with calisthenics is worth the money. What’s the motivation there?

Man, sometimes I type on here like English is my third language. I'm looking for someone to help me transition into doing weight training in the gym. Like a solid regime covering the basics of what I'm missing out on by only doing calisthenics. I know for sure my legs could use more work
