Learning proper technique. I am pretty injury-prone so having some live feedback for my form is important.
- emdowling 5y agoThis. Especially for compound lifts (eg: back squat, bench press, deadlift, cleans, etc). Building good technique and form is essential to avoiding serious injury and making sustainable progress. Having a trainer, even 1-2 times a month, is a good investment if lifting is a part of your routine.
- DwnVoteHoneyPot 5y agoDarebee uses body weight, much less risk than lifting heavy. Sure it's much better to have a trainer, but not essential like the lifts you mentioned.
