If they have a lot of personal experience that they use in their training, but also they're very adept at understanding the scientific literature and especially just the broad strokes basics, you're probably in better hands than not. Someone that can explain to you the reasons for why you're doing certain things and you just voice note record them. and ask them, is it okay if I record your reason?
I just kind of want to think about it at home later. Wink. And then you just copy that and feed it into Claude 3.5 or GPT-4.0 and be like, give me a steel man and a red team for this. It'll do both based on the sort of texture of its responses. There's all these LLMs are designed to be insanely agreeable and very kind. But when you're wrong, wrong, they'll be like, that's a good point.

However, eight-point list. You're like, that guy's an idiot. This is all wrong. So luckily, GPT-4-0, if it was embodied in a robot currently, would probably make a great trainer. And so how your trainer and various claims of their scores against GPT is probably one of the better ways to do it. And also say this.

There's a big factor of how you get along with the trainer because you're going to want to find the training at least as not unpleasant as possible and ideally as pleasant as possible. If the trainer is someone that you just kind of vibe with, they can dig into you and really get you going, but they're also super fun to talk to outside of when you're not dying and during training.

If they can get you to become responsible for showing up on time in a sense of, you know, the trainer and I are on the same team. He's on my team. And when he says, are you going to make it Monday? I just don't want to let him down because he's my buddy. And we're in this process together. I don't want to give up on myself.

If you have a trainer where you connect with like that, you got yourself a great trainer, even if they're not super evidence-based, they just get you in and get you moving. That's like half the battle right there. So let's say those things are things to consider.

And the last thing I'll say is have a trainer for a few weeks, few months, and maybe learn up about what's going on and then see like, oh, does my trainer know things or not? I mean, I had a person I was doing just nutrition for while my colleague Nick Shaw was doing training and not for her. I was in my PhD program in Tennessee.

I mean, I had a person I was doing just nutrition for while my colleague Nick Shaw was doing training and not for her. I was in my PhD program in Tennessee.
I was training her or nutrition coaching via distance over the internet. And Nick was training other clients in New York and she was in New York at the time. And she told the trainer kind of the diet that I had written her. And he was like, oh, that's stupid. That's wrong. And she was like, why? And the answer he gave her was so bereft of a systematic approach to knowledge that she texted me.

She's like, do you have any trainers you can recommend to me? I think my guy's an idiot. And sure enough, gave her over to a colleague of ours and Nick didn't have any room. And she's like, oh my God, this guy's beating my ass in the best way possible. I love him.

Yeah, some of your trainers will suck and you might need a few weeks, a few months to realize, man, everything I've heard about how this whole process works, my trainer doesn't even agree with me. Yeah, you might have to switch it up. You might not have the perfect car. The first car you buy might just be a thing that has a steering wheel and wheels and goes places.

And after you've kind of appreciated what it is you don't like about your car, your next car can be a bit more of an educated purchase.
