Today, I went weight training with my personal trainer and we started out on my first set of exercises. He notcied that it was to easy for me and he asked if the other trainers were taking me to failure. I told him no. He said that they should be. I was a little bummed that the other trainers were failing in there job with me. My trainer today told me that some of the other woman that work out in the gym don't want to be pushed to failure. they want to do 2 sets of 15 and then be done. when the weight gets heavier, they tell the trainers its to heavy. So today, the trainer told me to always tell my trainers to push me to failure. Also, he had to raise the weight on EVERYTHING because it was all to light. I have noticed that with other trainers, if they see me struggling they think the weight is to heavy and they want me to have correct form so they lower it and do more reps. I'm okay with that. but becasue I'm so new, i tend to struggle with everything! Even if it is light. I'm trying to fix it by engaging my abs in every excersice and stablelize myself. But i don't always do it perfectly.
Basically, there are no female trainers and I feel there is a biased with some of the trainers to not push girls to hard. Now, it may be because women have told them not to push them hard. But I don't want that. So from now on I'm going to tell them to push me to failure everytime! It's a little frustrating. I thought by getting personal trainers I would be held accountable but it looks like I have to hold THEM accountable. Not what I payed for.
