well i went to PTC Sydney yesterday and had an evaluation with Trent. I must say, top bloke, very knowledgeable, not judgmental and explains everything to you in detail.

He sorted a couple of issues that my younger brother was having out in about 30 seconds (particularly squatting) and in the session, young 17 year old 90kg Jack went from struggling to squat 70kg below the parallel to squatting 100kg almost ATG. My squat however went backwards, I got lower almost to ATG but only managed 70kg in the squat rack before form started to drop.

Also tweaked our bench to more of a strong man bench. I can speak now from experience a PVC pipe under your back whilst trying to bench sucks balls (I have the bruises to prove that), seems to have helped Jacks bench technique as well.

Finally we did some Deads, probably my new favorite exercise. Got to 100kg x 3 reps before form started to break. This was after he changed the entire way that I dead.

Trent has also recommended that we add in some leg press and lower back raises to help us with these main lifts and thinks we should go back in about 6 months for another quick session. If the gym wasn't so far away and I wasnt as busy as I am with work, uni, other sporting commitments and the girlfriend I would sign up in an instant. Really enjoyed the entire environment that I witnessed at the gym with all the guys there.

If TL:DR here is the summary, good session, good gym ended up lifting more and less. Would recommend anyone to have a session if they are unsure and will go back.
