Hi All, does anyone have and recommendations on a good bodybuilding focused personal trainer near North Lakes Brisbane. I'm an out of shape 36 year old bloke looking to get back to my roots.
Welcome - personally I would pick a cheap gym like snap fitness (or another which has a decent range of equipment) and find a workout regime that fits your life.
E.g. 5 days a week might not work anymore (assuming you have kids now, since your "roots" days). In which case, try a 3 day a week program.
@Admin recently posted a flow chart showing every possible program under the sun. Otherwise, there are some beginner programs listed as stickies on here. Google the exercises if you can't remember them and ask questions on here.
Spend the money on quality food instead
Otherwise, find a PT (sorry I don't know any from that area), stick with him for 6 months, relearn all the exercises, get a bit of momentum going and then branch out on your own using the abovementioned programs.
TTT, I've never given powerlifting a crack and would be keen to try. I'm out of shape but my form is still pretty solid. I'd be keen to throw some plates around sometime.
I've trained at 24/7 in north lakes befor and emailed them a couple days ago to see if the owner would run any training. If I remember correctly, he's a former title holder (don't remember if its for Qld or a high placing at the Aus). Haven't heard back yet.
My reason for wanting a trainer is accountability. Bit weak, but that's where I'm at right now.
Sticky is holding a comp in 2 weeks time that I will be competing/trying not to break myself at. Happy to meet up before and for you to come along and chat to him too if you like. He seems to know a few things about lifting like tricep kickbacks.
Will be at Northgate at PTC Brisbane.
