Today, the profession of a personal trainer has become very popular in sports. Famous athletes have previously trained under the supervision of a personal mentor, but today they are often hired by amateurs. If for our state this is still a rarity, then in the same United States this practice is very common.

According to statistics, people who work out with a personal trainer save the state a very decent amount in health care. After all, bodybuilding will not only make your figure more attractive, but also improve your health. Today we will tell you about the top 5 best coaches in bodybuilding.

Coach #1: David Sandler

This person is the owner of several scientific degrees in the field of sports and it is no coincidence that he was in the first place on our list. Sandler organized an innovative company dedicated to personal training of athletes of any level of training, including amateurs.

David is sure that the fact that an athlete has a personal mentor does not mean that an athlete can not study special methodological literature to improve sports literacy. Moreover, your return on classes will increase in direct proportion to the knowledge you have.

Here are some recommendations for all athletes from Sandler. To ensure the necessary energy level for effective bodybuilding, you must first observe the daily routine. The body needs enough time to rest, sleep and proper nutrition. This is the only way to achieve your goals.

David also notes that amateurs can only progress through periodization of training. Professional schemes and training methods are not suitable for them. Fulfill basic exercises in a low-repetitive mode, increasing strength indicators. Then start pumping on a high rep regimen, and then pick up strength again. Each of these two cycles should last two to three weeks.

Coach #2: Gunnar Peterson

Gunar has been coaching for over two decades. This man preaches functional training and for this reason he is often invited by Hollywood stars.

Despite the fact that most visitors go to the gyms to gain mass, this should not be their only goal, according to Gunar. That is why he believes that functional training is more suitable for most people. It is important that bodybuilding helps you live, and does not interfere with it.

Coach #3: Mac Chilstone

This is one of the most respected strength coaches in the United States. Throughout his career, he has worked with a large number of tennis players, hockey players and NBA stars. Today he works in one of the leading football clubs(American football) New York Yankees.

Mack invites all athletes who decide to become professionals to take a genome test. Today this service is not as expensive as it was a few years ago. This will allow you to accurately determine the sport where you can achieve maximum results. It is also important to undergo regular medical examinations so as not to harm your health.

If you are an amateur bodybuilder and do not plan to participate in tournaments, then knowing your genome will also be very useful to you. It is possible that the classical methods of training will not be effective for you and you will have to find your own individual method.

Coach #4: Juan Carlos Santana

Santana founded a research institute in Florida and has released a lot of books and videos on strength training. One of the most effective training tools in bodybuilding Santana considers chains and shock absorbers. With their help, you can progress much faster.

To gain a large amount of muscle mass, according to Santana, athletes should forget about the existence of simulators. In this case, the main attention should be paid to working with dumbbells. Juan Carlos likes to say that bodybuilding is a great way to build muscle, but huge muscles does not mean longevity and health. In addition to bodybuilding, yoga, dancing, etc. should be practiced.

Coach #5: Chris Lockwood

Chris has a PhD in Physical Education and has organized a large amount of research. Chris does not welcome the use of AAS in sports and especially at the amateur level. In his opinion, even amateurs should take part in tournaments. This can significantly increase motivation and accelerate progress. Let only close people applaud you at first, but the purpose of speeches is to accelerate your progress.

Watch Chris Lockwood talk about protein in this story:

In any case, you need an experienced competent person to lead you by the hand. Bodybuilding is no exception. Now there are so many wise men who teach everyone left and right how to do it, although they themselves do not really understand the basic basic principles.

I'm not even talking about people who have no results at all, even a coach who looks impressive himself will not necessarily be able to help you.

The thing is that he is most likely naturally strong and his muscles grow easily. He just didn't face the challenges you face every day. For example, an ordinary thin guy has much less recovery abilities than a naturally strong one. Accordingly, he should have shorter workouts. But the coach may simply not know this!

Moreover, in modern gyms there can be really good coaches, but in powerlifting (power triathlon). If they themselves have achieved results in this sport and even if they already have thousands of students, it’s not a fact that they can teach you how to build a body, because lifting has completely different goals. And the guys with not the worst genetics succeed there.

There are competent people in powerlifting, but they are quite few. A good example is Vladimir Kravtsov, the bare bench press champion. Very knowledgeable person and he can really give you something useful to advise. But there are few!

Usually the guys who come to the gym and their muscles begin to grow are content with the fact that they have studied the technique of exercises and begin to give advice to everyone, although they themselves did not understand what they got the result from.

It is these people who in most cases open their gyms or become trainers in local gyms. They can teach you how to do the exercise correctly so as not to get injured. But most likely the equipment will be just a lifter. They just don't know the other one.

I remember how I came to one good gym, I still like to go there to train, but I remember one curious picture. When I started to squat, the owner of the hall came up to me and began to say what I was doing wrong: I need to put my legs wider, turn my socks more, put the bar lower, etc. He was pushing me into competitive lifting technique, but I just wanted to squat and build muscle. When the position of the legs changes, the load is shifted to the other muscle groups. Yes, you can lift more weight this way, but the wrong muscles will grow.

How to identify a good coach

In my opinion, the most ideal coach is a person with poor genetics who has achieved impressive results. Yury Spasokukotsky can serve as a good example.

In addition to his own results, it is worth paying attention to the form of his students. In general, in what form are the people in the gym you want to enroll in?

• If there are guys with thin bones and big muscles, then ask who trained them, because this is clearly a good specialist. In contrast, find a person who is prone to fullness, but with a good relief. This guy has enough wide bones, massive shoulders, torso, and indeed by nature the whole skeleton is very strong. They are quite strong and their working weights are at a decent level. If you find such a person, then ask who trained him?

These were examples of people with two opposite types of genetics who got things done. If they have one coach, then it must be a very competent person who is worth training with.

And it doesn't have to be a personal trainer. It can be a regular trainer in your gym. The main thing is that he understands the basics of medicine, knows how the position of the hands, feet, grip width, etc. shifts the load to different parts of the muscles. An experienced trainer knows what a rotator cuff is and how deep the bar can be lowered when bench press to different people. By the way, for people with thin bones with large weights, it is generally better to work in a reduced amplitude, otherwise the ligaments are stretched.

And for strong men, you can even press crazy weights in full amplitude, nothing will happen, subject to the technique of course.

It is very important that the trainer could pick you correct exercises, not all exercises are equally useful, and not all exercises are suitable for bodybuilding. There is an excellent sport - arm wrestling, but it has its own specifics, other tasks. And from there, as well as from powerlifting, you can take various elements, but adapt them to the specifics of bodybuilding.

In general, check your coach for competence and you will have a lot of results!
