Ok, here's my own opinion.

Personal Trainers at their best are a combination of gym buddies and sports psychologists. Motivational. But for the most part they are unnecessary and very expensive....

Personally, I'd have shoulders in with the arms day and have that Wednesday off.

I did the 5x5 programme a few months back. I didn't like doing Squats all the time and having to increase weights - not every week but every workout. I think your biceps and triceps need more than...

If you want to lose fat, diet is the most important component. No point killing yourself in the gym just to stuff your face with junk. Abs, are 'made in the kitchen, not the gym'. You have abs just...

Hey mate, here's an informative site: personal-training-courses.net

20 signs of a worthless personal trainer

As a general disclaimer, I should say that, like many things in life, I made a lot of...

120g seems doable. I came across this article too slideshare.net/TimG1/protein-intake-16529721

One gram of protein per total body weight?
One gram of protein per lean body weight?
Or as a study in link below, 1.4g protein per kilo of weight. I like this one as I weigh 75kg it would only be...

I guess I was thinking 5 reps v 10-12 reps not up to 30 reps. As you say total volume is what matters

Aren't the important thing progression and good form? You can a achieve results with either high reps (moderate weights) vs low reps (heavy weights) can't you?

Great answer- short and to the point.

I'm doing stuff similar to you 5x5 and walk 60-90 minutes a day. I do 5x5 twice a week though (all 5 exercises) and I only change weights every week - not workout. I do a day of isolation work too.

Mike Matthews in his site and books argues the 'activity multipliers' should be
By 1.2 if you exercise 1-3 hours per week.
By 1.35 if you exercise 4-6 hours per week.
By 1.5 if you exercise 6+...

Thanks. I'm not persuaded by the need for a squat rack - a stand should be suffice. I wouldn't lift weights I couldn't possibly lift and I'm sure I won't be like that guy in the video posted on this...

I'm thinking of buying some equipment to use at home. Space and finances are limited. I need
Bench/Stand for bench press
Squat stand (not rack)
Olympic barbells with weights

That's right. He has a lot of fat to shift - that not building muscle should be his priority.

Has anybody tried this? 5 reps, 5 sets from squats, deadlifts, bench, overhead and rows. You do Squats 3x a week and the others once or twice a week. All are 5 reps except deadlifts which is only one...

You must be eating more than you think.

I went through a phase of doing only compounds - the 5x5 programme. But I've recently changed my programme. I add weight every week to my compounds, not every exercise. I also have a few isolation...
