How long should you teach technique

[DanCast]

I wanted to know what others thought about how long one should train a client with zero experience on how to lift. It’s been 5 sessions where we have only worked on lifting technique. Maybe another week and then I can start to add some weight to the kids routine. What do you guys think?

It is going to vary person to person. Some people will get it right away, and others will take a lot of coaching before it clicks for them.

Let's start with are you qualified or doing a buddy a favour?

well if that person really wants to learn they will study this stuff themselves and watch others who know what they are doing and pick it up

if they are lazy and unmotivated they will never learn correct form

Depends on the person. Some people are just unteachable and the people have to want to succeed. Both are problems in today's society

 

[RoySimpson]

Just keep on them to study and use proper technique in the mirror. Honestly its better to get great technique and form then worry about lifting heavy.

Teach the client about the proper form. See if the client can be consistent attending the training as well.

You're the trainer why are you asking us?
