Who would you rather be trained by and receive diet advice from?A person who has trained half of their life who is fit,strong and healthy while keeping up on recent studies but has no formal education.Or a person with a degree on their office wall with no experience training their body and mind,in fact no first hand experience.

Apparently I have to add some details.I've worked out at 6 different gyms in my life and very few times had I ever seen a tainer who even looked like they exercised.I met someone who was looking to start adding the dead lift into their work out so they hired a local trainer for a nuber of sessions.The trainer didn't even show them how to perform the lift properly and could barely even complete the first warm up set with 135 lbs.
Many employer will hire someone with experience before someone with a nice shiny piece of paper on their wall.I believe the same about training and I've never char
Since the trainee knew I'd just won the USAPL EC championships they asked for my advice.This person more than doubled their lift after the first session with me.I'm not certified but have many years of experience.
When people used to ask if they should use a trainer I simply told them to follow this criteria.Do they look like you want to or lift as much as you'd like to while remaining injury free

UUUMMM geee....let me think....yep, retorical question!!!
It was an intelligent answer. I was agreeing with you. A piece of paper, in my opinion, is just that...a piece of paper. You don't have to go through a school to know what you're doing for just about any vocation, as long as you've had hands on experience in that field. Just like, in my opinion, people should not have to stand in front of a priest, rabbi, justice of the peace, or what have you to get that piece of paper to tell the world that they are married. It's life that should teach us what we need to know, not an institution.

I find it hard to believe that someone would go into training and not be, at the same time training themselves! I don't know any trainers that don't train their own bodies as well.

I would go with the one who tells me I can eat bacon everyday.
