What details should I pay attention to? What clues should raise the alarm?
How can I be sure my personal trainer is a good one?

Since you are french, no one they are all incompetent fuckers
Youtube will be unironically a better coach

Just make sure he looks like you want to look.

Fuck personal trainers.
Eat 1.4g/kg of protein a day, no compromise.
Lift till failure, don't go beyond, get back in the gym as soon as your recovered.
Form is in your mind, technique is going to bring you nowhere, mind muscle connection is. You will not always have a mirror to look into and you need to feel what the right position is for an exercise to work a specific part of the muscle.
Always, SQUEEZE first, LIFT later. Not the other way around of, LIFT FIRST, FEEL THE SQUEEZE later. The first one is mind muscle connection, second one is noobness.
Follow a full body workout that is predetermined with good volume for the first 3-6 months until you get better work conditioning allowing even higher volume, then split it up as needed.
For technique, watch pro BB's. Good examples are pumpers like Phil Heath that always do perfect form. THE POINT IS NOT TO EMULATE, it is to UNDERSTAND. Why do they do what they do? And no, it is not ROIDS, they know what they are doing.
If you can understand that your good. DONT FALL INTO THE ATHLEANX etc etc trap, only watch PRO DVD'S OR SERIOUS lifters like Larry Wheels, none of the other pussy BS.
Even if you won't, after 5+ years you will regret not listening to this.

If you tell them what your goal is and they make you do a bunch of random shit that seems arbitrary, they're a retard.
If they can't coach proper form and just let you bungle your way through sets, they're a retard.
If they stand behind you with their hands behind their back yelling numbers at you, they're a retard.
Most PTs fucking suck and only did the course to get the certification without any other education, so good luck to you.
Andrew Brooks
Are you even French? If not, how do you know they are bad?
Cooper Stewart
To add to my post, good places are:
mocvideos on youtube, channel with plenty of pro dvd's for free.
Hany Rambod and Charless Glass as coaches with YT channels.

Shut the fuck up you cuck faggot. You flew out of the gates with the first point of advice being wrong. No one should listen to any of your dumb shit.

MUH BROOOOOTEEEN

People get trainers for all sorts of reasons, stop trying to force these faggots to use their brains.
Nathan Green
I've been told not to look at PT's body, since one can have good knowledge and average body and vice versa
Adrian Brooks
I dont want to sound like a redditor, but 1.4g/kg is what is needed for natural lifters to maintain positive nitrogen balance with weight training. Plenty of studies back this up, and interestingly this is the LOWEST dose.
Because building is harder than maintaining.
You can't back up your shit but I can back up mine, firstly, from personal experience.
Recovery is better, gains are faster, and you feel less sluggish. Don't forget the RDA is 0.8g/kg, so strength athletes needing more is very rational.

I made the same mistake of thinking low protein would work, it works if your a twink with barely a sixpack under perfect lighting but if you want mass it doesnt.
IM SAVING THE GUY 3+ YEARS OF TROUBLE, gtfo gains goblinz.
Connor Lee
Il french, because in France the "diplôme" for being a personal coach is a fucking joke, completely easy, and full of broscience shit
Several of them were legit disapointed for having it and yet still knowing shit
Tyler Martinez
In my case I'm doing so for 2 reasons
- I'm very bad at executions
- I'm afraid of gyms, essentially for the first reason (along with the fact that I lift very light weights)
Gabriel Walker
they only sperged because you are actually talking about lifting. They wouldn't be mad with you if you where talking about fapbait or other faggotry not related to Any Forumsness.
Keep posting.
Dylan Morgan
So you're claiming this is not the case in the US or even among other European countries, aren't you?
Ayden Long
No, you retarded faggot you need more than 1.4/g/kg. You're advocating low protein. You should be aiming for 2.2/g/kg. Why would you advise someone to aim for the lower threshold instead of the maximum when there's no downside to going over? Moron.
Ethan Taylor
Yea, you sound reasonable. I would vote for a trainer for you temporarily until you learn the moves well enough. You won't need or want a long term trainer once your confidence grows.
Caleb Adams
>I'm very bad at executions
I know what you mean, but I'm still concerned.

Ngmi be prepare to be a dyel
Landon Rogers
Exactly, yet I still need to figure out if the one I found in my local gym is whether good enough or full of shit
He has a nice muscular body, but I guess it doesn't mean he's talented
Dylan Diaz
>Personal trainer
Just light your money on fire
Christopher Price
The only way you'll actually know is if you train with them. Just ask why he's making you do certain exercises or things a certain way if his reasoning is solid and he doesn't give answers like "just because" he probably knows what he's doing if he's in shape.
Mason Perez
Ask him what recomping is.
If he can't explain this to you, or if he tells you it's impossible to lose weight and pack muscle...just move on.
Easy litmus test.
Nathan Peterson
I've already been to the gym with a friend of mine who is PT as his full-time job. He already gave me a routine to follow, but since I've moved out from France to Luxembourg, he won't be able to follow me.
I don't know if I can ask my new trainer to stick to the program my friend gave me, or if I should ask him for a routine as an experiment to see whether he is full of bullshit or not. I'm already more or less aware of how coherent a routine should be, my problem is my global weakness (both weights and executions) and my fear of the gym
David Carter
Ya des programmes faciles à trouver sur Internet, les coachs sont tous nuls a chier chez nous, même si tas l'air d'avoir de la thune vu que tu bosses au Luxembourg,sois pas stupide au point d'enrichir un nullard qui n'y connait rien
Christopher Wright
Ayaaa un français sur Any Forums ! Merci de ton conseil, le but de mon thread c'est justement d'éviter d'enrichir un nullard qui n'y connaît rien. Mais vu que j'y connais rien non plus, est-ce que je peux vraiment vérifier que lui n'y connaît rien ?
Et comme je l'ai, c'est pas tant pour le programme que pour les exécutions, et aussi pour m'acclimater à la salle. Je souffre de phobie depuis pas mal d'années, j'ai déjà fait beaucoup d'efforts sur moi-même pour aller à la salle avec des gens, je suis à pas grand chose d'arriver à concrétiser mon objectif.
