I agree there's a lot of conflicting information and that specificity is key. But it can also be useful to have a guide for when you change goals, someone who knows your history and preferences etc.
Body composition changes typically go through multiple different phases and cycles. It might seem like you'd want someone specific for each phase, yet some consistency is helpful across phases too. As an analogy, you wouldn't want to change universities for each year of your degree
- joshvm 6y agoI was trying to allude to this a bit, but maybe it didn't come across clearly. I was thinking more about how you approach getting help to achieve a goal. And probably a good way forward is a mixture of occasional 1-on-1 sessions with experts in your chosen activity, followed up with more regular sessions with a general trainer who can help you achieve what the expert says you need to improve. For example, specialist advice can range from very specific technique improvements, to more general comments like "technique is good, but you need better core strength" at which point a personal trainer might be a good call.
