This is why I really think the globos are monetizing their training the same way they monetize their gyms...they WANT people to wash out. People often pay for these personal training packages up-front for a bunch of sessions, and if the person stops showing up before getting in all the sessions they've paid for, the gym makes more money because it doesn't pay the trainer for the no-show sessions. Many of them probably sign on for repeating package payments, and just forget about it and end up paying for more before finally going through the hoops to terminate...much the same as what happens to people's gym memberships overall, but in this case the gym pulls in a lot more money.mbasic wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 4:53 am This is a pretty good summation of the situation. ^
Funny that most of the "personal training" in all the various globo-gyms I've seen going on over the last 15 years is exercise-based stuff....funny in that you are PAYING for a PROFESSIONAL trainer to get you results. I hit the gym around the same time every day. I see the trainers with the same John Doe client every day on those same days (e.g. M, W, F). They never repeat a single exercise that I notice. I can't help but to eavesdrop or take notice: No weights, loads, reps, etc are ever recorded. The trainer seems to load the apparatus by eye (or, miraculously, has the clients' entire load-list for the workout memorized), and just seems to wing the program.
You'd think The Trainer would be somewhat aware of how keeping track of load + reps + sets (ON AT LEAST ONE OR TWO FUCKEN MOVEMENTS!!!) shows some kind of progress being made, and this could be a tool to show the client what they are doing is working .... and thus keep the client forking over the cash to said Trainer....long term.
Also, being able to keep a client doing the same exercises consistently has got to be a nightmare during certain times of day. Even when I take my mom in to train her during low-traffic hours, we end up having to wait for equipment. I'd imagine having to go overtime on a session with a paying client is really fucking bad.
Yeah, even his "before" pic has him in much better shape than most guys his age who do no real exercise or disciplined dieting. I'm sure the "replacement" testosterone has nothing to do with that.mbasic wrote: ↑Mon May 15, 2023 7:01 am its a weird disconnect or whatever:
Its like he trying to discount the entire global fact he's always been on TRT, and the before-after-disparity somehow this validates his current efforts and he should be praised for them? I don't get it.SHOCKING CONFESSION: In both pictures I’m on hormone replacement (TRT). But in the before picture, my diet was crap and training program was hit and miss at best.
Also in the “before” picture I was in the process of building my businesses and made the stupid mistake that most men do when building their business… I neglected my health, fitness and was a poor example of leadership.
In both pictures I looked good in a T-shirt. But in the picture on right I look damn good without anything on.
Like I said, in both pictures I’m on TRT. Been on TRT for a few years now. Interestingly I use less of it now because I train smarter and eat better.
My nutrition is simple…
Anyone can completely derail/self-sabotage their TRT with poor diet and exercise habits.
For all we know, he's probably sitting at 1500 ttl test levels currently.
IOW: TRT++ .... aka "Sports TRT".
