It is better to get a male or female? Im 198 trying to bulk up to about 250. I am thinking female because I think I would do better because of that trying to impress mentality. What would you suggest?

    I'd say go with the trainer that has the ideal look that you want B and see if they have a good size clientele. Because there are trainers that don't know ? and will have you wasting your money. A good trainer will even put a meal plan together for you too.

    save yo money, the best personal trainer for you is....YOURSELF!

    I recommend two books for you

    1.The Complete Keys of Progress

    2. Real Strength, Real Muscle by. John Christy (Rip)

    After reading those two books....you can become a personal trainer for others.

    most people that use personal trainers are old folks, ? dudes and women...unless u are some big time movie star trying to look like a Greek ? in 12 weeks u can bulk up by yourself...

    Unless the woman is into series training with weights it's best to go with the male personal trainer who should have experience doing the exercises that you need to do to bulk up. And who will also help you focus better on your training. The female trainers at my gym only inspire one of my "muscles" to get bigger and I don't need to workout that one it's already strong enough.
