yea im told im a bad client since i cant do alot of the crazy **** that some trainers put their clients through due to my back being injured

i hate it hurting like a mofo when tryign to do dragon flags, leg throw downs ect ect i have never finished a set of them but other then that i push hard and dont bitch about any thing really

when im training others i hate when they either know it all or try to tell my why they should be doing something else IE "i should lift weights everyday and do cardio"

pshhh i say something to the effect "well sure you can do that, but what about in 2-3 months when you tear something because your not giving your body enough time to recover. so instead do what i am having you do which is lift 3 days a week and do cardio 5 days a week you will see the same basic results but without near as much probability for injury"

There are some which are not as enjoyable to train as they dont put the effort in. they stop when they first start to get a little sore.

It drives me crazy when a client of mine says stuff like "awww its to hard" "it hurts" and "oh i cant do this i'm too unfit". I feel like yelling YOU'RE UNFIT? NO **** THATS WHAT YOU ARE TRAINING WITH ME!

One client of mine who used to be like this all of a sudden came in one session and was like a different person. She started giving it 110% and my god the results came fast! She sees the results and loves it! Now shes one of my favs to train as she gives it her all and the results come becuase of this.

In a perfect world these are the types i wish i could train all the time....enjoyable to train them and they are great for business as they get the results.

Maybe you can help,
Whenever this guy tries to bench something that he thinks is too heavy he starts laughing hysterically and lets the weight drop on to his chest(then I have to pick up all the weight, luckily its not much). There is no pause, no digging for more strength he just starts to laugh. I think its an excuse not to try, "I could have benched that but I was laughing too hard" Any suggestions?

Wow are you serious? lol

One of my clients is just non stop all the time. I have to make her stretch properly otherwise she will fake stretch for 30 seconds and think shes ready. Soon as she is done stretching I tell her to go back and do it properly every time. She will take off and start running with out any instruction.... I have to stop her and ask what she is doing. Then she is making suggestions to me about what she should do next "oh I think we should do this, instead of this" I take the time to put programs together and I don't need suggestions from people with no experience. She will even hit the gym 2 hours before the session because she is so overly determined to lose weight. Now some people may be thinking "are you giving her enough of a work out?" trust me, every session is bootcamp. Best part, shes ignoring my advice when it comes to eating properly. She eats 3 times in a day and its very low in protein. If I see no improvement then I will be dropping her as a client. I have confronted her on these issues time and time again.

Kidding right? I have an 84 year old woman that keeps up with my college athletes. Always asking her, "are you juicing?" She rocks!

**BlitzEclipse** · 01-09-2009, 06:54 PM

Thats awesome! I always wanted to have an elderly client.

**Hursthouse** · 01-09-2009, 07:31 PM

i had a cocky 17yr old who thought he was the bomb. Would never pay close attention to the important information rather he just liked to look at himself in the mirror with his singlet. **** it annoyed me. I was glad to get rid of him.

Yea It's sad really. I'll try to piss him off real good this weekend before he tries the bench again. Maybe a good personal burn or something.

**Superdoad** · 01-10-2009, 01:33 PM

Its funny there's no laughing during squats and I've been teaching him the power clean and deadlift w/ no laughing, its only on the bench.
