That might have worked for you mate, atm im struggling to get 3-4 days in just so busy with work and being a lazy *beep*.

Don't notice the real gainz untill I push the 5-6 day region.

Sitting at like 18-20% not really happy considering where I was this time last year. Need to clean up my diet/portion sizes.

I know my sh*t, I did an 8 week AIF fittness course between jobs a few years back. Legit

Not directing this at you buddy but half the PTs out there wouldn't have a clue as to what's the best way to go about putting weight and size on. Like any job it comes down to experience. You can't be taught everything in a 3 year course let alone an 8 week course.

I was being silly mate aha

I see it at the gym all the time, all these overweight/underweight/uneducated PTs trying to teach people makes me sick.

In an industry where image is everything how do they expect to get anywhere?

They feed off the ignorant which is the same in every profession.

I haven't been training for very long in comparison to a lot of guys here but I have witnessed that at the lifestyle gyms people go in with the wrong attitude thinking "I have to work out for 2hrs otherwise I shouldn't bother as I have wasted my time."

It is more about getting a quality workout and on some days that an be as little as 40mins.

Just my 2c lol

Generally its 1 body party a day 5 days a week. Never longer than 1 hour max, generally 40mins and I'm done.

that's 5-6 exercises 3 heavy sets including a warm up and cooldown set with some super setting depending on the exercise. Only time I go for longer is when I'm including cardio into my regime which will be 30-40mins again depending on the day.

I've been going for over 5 years now and have noticed my breaks between sets has significantly dropped from when I first started (as has the sh*t talking, standing around asking how the weather is lol)

Also being a bit a rude bloke I tend to get sh*tty at people on their phones sitting on machines I need so I'll usually tell them to get off. sh*ts me to tears

I don't consider a 8 week course makes you qualified... You are taught what they want to teach you..any personal trainer is over rated in a gym unless they have competed in some form of bodybuilding. Sorry if it offends you but I laugh at people who pay money and think they know it all in 8 weeks.

I have trained a few blokes on this forum and they learnt more in 1 week with me than you learnt in 8 weeks at the AIS.
