Most of the trainers I've seen are pussies with pussy workouts.
I learned a lot from reading magazines like M & F and flex and also from watching well-developed people train.
You can watch others train in the gym to see how they do form. Also, it's good to chat with people to learn about all sorts of things from different training approaches, postworkout nutrition, exercise execution, training philosophy, and routine development.

As I said, join Gold's or find a gym with free personal trainers on staff BUT it doesn't hurt to hire a trainer for a fee for a week or so who can point out trouble spots................................

I love the avatar Citrus!!
How could you hate a guy like this. . you can't!!!
As for finding someone who is jacked. . .find a gym with powerlifters or competitive bodybuilders.

Most Pt's assume that beginning clients can't handle freeweights -- and they're often correct.
I'm a PT and have trained a few people, most of which were absolute beginners.
I tried putting them on freeweights, and it tanked miserably. After 2-3 sessions they still didn't have an inkling of how to do the moves correctly. So I put them on machines...a lot of cable pulley stuff so they still have to balance, etc.
Those of us who have been lifting for awhile underestimate the quality of our mind-body connection... we have an above-average ability to control and isolate the various motions of our bodies.

Karl:
Go ahead and post the workout - I am sure everyone is curious as to what he gave you?
A FAT trainer ??? This is my opinion regarding a fat trainer:
He dosen't know or care about nutrition, supplementation etc.
He is lazy with no will power or self control!
He is severly lacking in personal pride, ethics & professionalism
- How can he inspire you to workout and change your body if he is fat tub of crap and takes no pride in his appearence!
How can he be professional?? - he wears his resume everyday, if he cannot train himself - how can he train you?? Everything he puts on paper is worthless if he dose not live it himself!
Ethically - how can he take money from you & others and ask you to trust and believe him if can't be a role model and practice what he preaches?? Fucking hippocrite!!
Besides being a trainer, I am also the Director of my Dept. - and while few of the trainers look like competitive bodybuilders (not a hardcore gym) - NONE ARE FAT and all workout regularly and are lean and athletic.
A FAT trainer never makes it to a second interview with me! (also a stupid, uneducated trainer dosen't make it either!) Every year my staff including me participates in a staff shape up challenge to keep improving and learning what really works!
looking forward to seeing FAT BASTARD"s workout - I need a good laugh (actually maybe I'll be surprised and it will be o.k. but who knows if he created it or just copied from a book or the web?)
I will post the appropriate questions to ask him about the workout and if he can answer them with a correct / detailed explanation you will know if he is intelligent - although that means he is smart, but lazy with no personal pride!
I am assuming he did no movement, postural or flexibilty assessment? - If that's the case, watchout He probably is clueless about how train people and just copies the bullshit routines from muscle & fiction (fitness?)
I know of 3 basic tests that can be performed in 10 minutes or less that will give anyone a gross overall indication of how your body is functioning and what you need to do to have effective workouts without injury
Later!

He's not a trainer, he owns the gym. The other guy, who looked like he lifted weights, but is old (looked over 45, maybe 50) wasn't there.
I don't know the names of everything to I'll try to explain some, all are machines.
3 sets, 10 reps for the following
5 Minute warmup
10 Minute stretching
Something where you lift a chest press thing but up (Shoulders?Back?)
Chest Press
Facing towards the plate you grab two bars in front of you and extend so your arms fully extended towards your sides (Shoulders/Back)
Same machine but you face the opposite ways with the bars at your size and make the bars come together (Like butterfly, but now)
Tricep extention (Elbows at side, pull down on bar, return to 90 degrees)
Lat Pull Down
3 sets of 12 for the following
Leg Press
Leg Extention
Using Leg Press machine, put your feet at the end of the thing, heels down, then toes up, for calves
Then something to work out the back of your legs, lie down and extend it till you nearly touch your back
20 Minutes of Cardio
Also said crunches and crunches with a twist
I may have missed one or two things but that is most of it
