Subject: RE: Personal trainer to help with strength?I'd caution working with a pure trainer.
As a coach, the strength routines I send my athletes are very specific to functional fitness, core and stability. They end goal is to be a better endurance athlete. Some trainers might be good, but the bulk I have seen barely have enough knowledge for regular strength work and very few have an eye for what an endurance athlete needs.
If they start sending you to the squat rack, bench press and other major weight moves for every workout, its not going to benefit your endurance life as well.
Not saying all trainers are crap, but what I have seen personally does not install me with a lot of confidence. |
