Change trainers??

[The Dude]

My buddy that is helping me was a national level competitor before he was just fed up with the treatment he was getting and stopped. Now he's more of a health nut, anti drug, big cardio guy. He's still extremely muscular and shredded, but has a total disdain for bodybuilding. He has already blasted me several times about what I take, how big I am, money spent, etc. Now in just the first few times we've talked he is saying how I'm wasting my time and money as I'll never be a pro, I'm ruining my health, etc. I'm thinking strongly that I should get a trainer that is a little more supportive. When it comes to contest time I want to look my best which isn't going to be the healthiest.... He just doesn't get that this is what I want to do and have no aspirations of being a pro.

Its hard to listen to criticism on someone who is very biased. i am a trainer and I understand how hard it is to do something naturally. i only did AAS when i had no gains after 4 months because my body adapted. With the right supervision, knowledge and dedication you can do whatever you want to. After all it's your body. I think your right a new trainer may be the answer. I started as a personal trainer with plenty of people taking supplements and helped guide them and thier diet and checking blood pressures etc. i wouldnt be where Im at today if i listened to everyones criticism. Even if not competing you are happy with yourself and where your headed then move on and continue to do it, just keep yourself healthy take the breaks you need and monitor your health, you'll be fine.

Gotta love guys that love shitting on your aspirations. Most of us go into bodybuilding knowing that we probably won't be pros. That's not why most people do shows. The simple fact of knowing that you can and did get your body in it's great shape is gratifying. I know damn well I will never be a pro at anything I do. But I love competition and do things for the sake of competition, not because I'm trying to make a career out of it. He should retard that attitude and quit ear fucking you with negativity. I'd say if there's one that's as good as he is, you'll probably be better off

This guy was just supposed to help me prep for my show. I need an impartial eye and diet and cardio advice. It's not like I'm new to any of this and if this show wasn't as big as it is, I would go at it alone. I just need help dialing it in. I don't need life coaching.

Bro you need someone to support you at the stage for this show, I say get someone who will feed you positivety as much as advise

 

[mickdoo]

fire him, you do not need a coach like that, you need criticism yes but not mothering

 

[dreww]

he's pushing his beliefs on you. thats not right, whatever the subject matter is.
one thing i try to never do is judge others. i got no room to talk and who the fuck am i to do that anyway

oh I see this shit all the time. Ditch this nerd! Its all because he didnt reach his dreams in it and it kills him to see somebody trying to do the same. It is sad but true. If he couldnt do it, then nobody can, is what he thinks. Fuck him! This should just make you train harder for the show. You do not want to be around this fool. There is no telling what he is sayin behind your back either.
