Seems as if most personal trainers go for fitness whereas most "bodybuilders" go for size, mass, which is not always the best FIT/Health wise...easy as that

Also, in regard to what mullet posted, i get what your saying, but on the same EXACT note...I wouldn't want a heart surgeon performing work on me that had limited practice either.

So, if a guy says he is a personal trainer and regardless of what he knows, im definitely not going to look to him for training because he looks like he may know little, but in fact, he may know A LOT.
Now if i overheard him talking and learned he knew a lot then that's a different story. Id be willing to give that person a spot at training me.

I look across the room and spot two females, one's glamorous and the other is, well, decent...who do i pick from first glance? First glance being the specific focus set of words here.

Case in point

we have a personal trainer at our place of work...he has a show that airs locally, and does training with about 30 clients every morning at 6am-7am. He looks like he could squat 185, seriously.

But, he knows his stuff, and he has trained a lot of people, causing them to lose high amounts of fat and get their body weight down...BUT, none of them are very muscular in any way....he just knows how to create fat loss, not really to build muscle(not massive, he says that's not his thing)

There's another guy, he is not a personal trainer and has the SAME build. He looks like an 85lb curl would snap his arms like twigs, yet, he has several local competition guys asking him for all types of advice because he has helped a lot of them build nice physiques.

Now both of these guys look as if they are weaklings, but there is the contrast of them both...double whammy.

So it's not always an easy dilemma as big/massive vs skinny/fit
Im still trying to figure those two out.
