I know trainers that do heavy compound lifts like deads and squats, cleans etc. with their clients.. If that is ALL could and did train.. they would have 2 clients per day, at most. From a trainer`s standpoint, if a client says they want to incorporate arms exercises and or ab exercises, you will oblige. They have to right to request for it, and the trainer should be able to throw in bicep curls or even calf raises into their workout routine without sacrificing efficiency. You aren`t going to get them to do 4 sets of curls and a minute rest between.
You realize that the majority of people who get trainers are in their 40s-50s and could care less about max squats and deads. They are there to achieve the most efficient and maximum benefits from exercising. This includes general knowledge, and increase in their flexibilty, endurance, strength, cardiovascular condition etc. Along with that, just being confident and comfortable in the gym setting. Some if not most people use this one hour as an `out` where they can destress and get their mind away from work, their family, and other stresses.
Most, not all, but the vast majority of you guys here only know what you want to know. That is fine with me, but it is narrow-minded for you to think that the way you train is the only way.
I don`t have a problem with anyone who soley trains for hypertrophy or strength.. or periodize between the both, but to assume everyone should and wants to learn and tap into a SMALL aspect of exercise, is naive.
Lastly, I find it interesting that most of you here idolize bodybuilders that are pumped up with various hormones and drugs.
