    You have to know me to understand. At any given time about four things are going through my mind. My trainer has helped me focus on the set, but as the workout get towards the end and I become fatigued I start to think less about form and push harder. At that time, I know I am not focusing my energy to keep the form, so my concern is that I am not doing it. It takes me a long time to become accustomed to movements. For example, when I first started training I walked with my shoulder rounded forward because when I was young I would constantly walk looking at the floor. A guy at the gym where I started commented on that, etc. I worked on it and eventually broke the habit, but it took an arguable 9 months, maybe longer. I had to get over the mental aspect of not wanting to look at the floor. If you haven't noticed that is my biggest deficiency with training.

    So you ARE worried about proper form. A good training partner will help you with that as well (provided they know what they're doing).

    you are young chris take what you have learned and just go expermint with what works for you. If you have not learned the correct form yet you never will it shouldnt take years for any basic movment. Thats all you need is the basics.
    You are paying him to keep you in the gym I see that all the time. all you need is a partner that is willing to give the effort you are.
    I have a hard time working out by myself and ive been doing it for 16-17 years. get a partner it will be alot easyer.

I simply like to talk things out because...as stated it's been a very succesful method for me to come to a decision.
    :rofl::rofl: Now that shit is funny.

    Back on topic: Just drop the guy and look for a trainer or partner.

    Fuck all that, dump that guy before he injures you. Talking to people around him while you are doing your set is unacceptable period. He needs to pay attention to you and your form nothing else.
    Man that just made me blow a gasket, because of irrisponsible mother fuckers like that people get injured and shit. Chris I am sorry but I don't care if that guy promises to make you the next Mr Olympia if he is not paying attention to you and continues to take your money he doesn't deserve your business.

    Dump that guy. You need a workout partner not a trainer. I've never had a trainer but I fully understand how helpful it is to workout with someone. If I did pay a trainer I would expect them to concentrate on me for my time and politely tell their other clients that they are busy with you and they will help them when they're free.

    Maybe as a compromise you could ask him to tell the others to wait until your set is over at least. While I find it all unacceptable, that is especially unprofessional and potentially dangerous.
