maybe he should start a journal also?
to keep track of his progress

iliveunderwater, I'm facing the same problem too...
as a newbie, sometime we just dunno which form to follow, different people uses different form. You see all sorts of forms are used at the gym, and most of the time we dunno whether those forms are correct or not.

Anyway, I use the form from bodybuilding.com as guideline. When in doubt, I'll just ask the sifus here

cowcow, most of those so called "consultant" (Personal Trainer, right?) aren't helpful at all... not to say all of them aren't helpful, but majority of them are @sshole. U go to any club also the same lar... never depends on them. This is already my 3rd month joining FF, and I've never seek help from any PT also, and I'm doing fine as newbie
