As a personal trainer this is the biggest crutch, we can't shape your body for you. It's school, you have the teacher right there in front of you, take advantage of it so you no longer need one.
Most people DO need a personal trainer.
That's a good way to put it. We can help you and answer your questions but we can't do it FOR you. Most of the time when people don't improve it's 50% the trainer's fault and 50% the person's fault for not eating better or actually training as recommended.
IE: before I was certified I had a friend who would ALWAYS ask me questions and I'd give her advice to not ONLY do 60 min runs on a treadmill but to lift some weights as well and she would just ignore me and ignore the advice... her loss at that point.

@ honeybadger what are your lifts to make elite at 165?
Myron
220 SQ, 138 BE, 245 DL (slight estimates as I've improved in the past 3 months since last comp)
Classifies me as elite in 165 raw OPEN and very close to international elite in juniors (as I'm still 23 for 8 more months) but doesn't matter because I won't compete in JRs at any national/worlds this year.
