What is a good trainer for you? I mean, an average person like me looks for a trainer. What should I look for? I would look for somebody with some track record, some experience of, you know, helping people and getting the results. You know, also is a little bit of psychology to get the most out of people, to try to keep the motivation going and everything like that. So trainers should also know about nutrition, unless you're going to get a nutritionist as well. But ideally, because if you train correctly but you don't have the nutrition, it won't work. Vice versa, you need both together, because when you go to the gym, you're not building muscles in the gym, you're damaging them, you're breaking them down, you're causing stress. Yeah. Afterwards, the compensation process is where the growth takes place. But this takes materials. You have to have the training and the nutrition together goes hand in hand. So preferably somebody that knows about both of those subjects would be ideal. You know, there's a lot of bad trainers out there.
