Training by IFBB Pro

Anyone else in here been trained by an IFBB Pro before? I'm looking to give it a serious go and but wanted to check in first to see if anyone experienced it before, and how good the results were.

WithdrawlNot quite, but close. I became friends with a local guy who just missed his pro card by ONE PLACING this past year. He's a freak. I figured his success was all genetics and drugs but he is incredibly smart in the way he approaches training. He schooled me on a lot of training techniques. Mostly exercise form and exercise selection to bring out areas of certain bodyparts. After 17 years I thought I was doing everything right but man was I wrong. He showed me all kinds of little tweaks to my form on exercises, as well as exercise selection, and it has made a huge difference over the last 6 months. My physique is becoming way more balanced and my muscles are looking for pronounced and full because of the way they are developing. I HIGHLY recommend you find some kind of high level bodybuilder and have them teach you how to train all over again (pay them if you have to, it's worth it!). After 17 years I feel like I'm starting fresh again and it feels great. Even if the pro doesn't have a real scientific approach to training, you'll still learn SOMETHING from them that you can use in your own training and use to improve.
AnonJust rememeber the work you put into this training is what you are going to get out of it
Good luck Bass and Go hard!!
Thank you everyone for all the input! It's much appreciated. Yeah, with all the info that can be gotten online nowadays, I could just do it all on my own. I guess the whole thing would be getting just tips or tricks, but then again what might have worked for them probably won't have the same results on me.
WithdrawlOnline is nice and definitely has benefits, but there's nothing like one on one teaching.
I've worked out with one pro on let day..... Lets just say I never wanna go back lol, high reps for me is 50 he made me do 100 reps per set worst pain I've ever felt in my legs. I layer on the ground for 30 when I got done so I wouldn't pass out
I agree with Classy, it all depends on which pro it is. Just because there ifbb doesn't necessarily make em good trainers. I been trained by a guy who never even competed and this cat kicked my ass, i meant beat me down.
This is so true I believe in any sport or endeavor. As a fighter I can say my best coaches and trainers looked like they never in their life trained. They had an amazing ability to transfer knowledge to their pupils which is amazing when you consider that we all have our own process when working out information. I have also seen elite fighters get into the training side of it and be horrible simply because of their bias of thinking the pupil should know exactly what they are thinking because they are already good at it.
In only a few occasions have I seen champions become great trainers.
ClassyChassisI think it depends upon who the pro is. At the pro level probably 90% of it is drugs, eating and genetics. I've seen plenty of pros train and a few train really hard, some train like crap, and most are probably in the middle somewhere. I had an opportunity to train a few times with Dorian a few years back and it was great. Of course I already knew what his methodology and work ethic was and I was in agreement with it, which is why I wanted to train with him in the first place.
So again, depends upon who the pro is. Just because they're a pro doesn't guarantee good results unless you follow the same drug regimen, eating regimen and have the same genetics. It's kind of ironic how little the training has to do with it at the highest level.
