Posting on here for the first time.
I need some help making a decision.
I'm a 37 year old male doing an lp program. I have a pretty busy life. Work full-time and also a single father of a fifteen-year-old son. A few weeks ago I decided to get a trainer. I found a gym right by my house. Brand new barbell gym only offering personal training. The location is perfect. Right between home and my job. I called them they told me that they hadn't yet opened so they're offering a major discount at half the price for clients that sign up before the grand opening. I decided to go ahead and take advantage of the offer. I've trained with him how about two weeks now. My trainer, who is the owner, is a 22 year old lifter who's had some competitive Powerlifting Meets under his belt. He is familiar with starting strength but does things a little differently. He teaches the lifts a little differently with different cues. Not too much of a difference than starting strength but it is a bit different. He has said some things that don't quite make too much sense for me. Such as when he told me that I could run LP doing the deadlift three times a week for the whole length of LP. Anyway, recently I heard about SSOC, and am now trying to decide whether I should give ssoc a try or keep my trainer. In other words I'm trying to decide if I should stick with the starting strength methodology and therefore a starting strength coach or if I should stay with this trainer who is extremely conveniently located. It is extremely convenient to train with my trainer right now. We hit it three times a week Monday Wednesday Friday and I'm able to squeeze it in before work. I get the sessions done way faster than I would on my own because we superset the squat and the pressing movement. Not only that, he helps me change plates (obviously) which again makes a workout go a lot faster. Real-time instruction and queues are also extremely beneficial. Also, I find it a lot more enjoyable and motivating training with him than training alone at home. I've trained at home before and I was not able to get my sessions done and this amount of time. Also, if I train from home I have to train in the evenings after work. I am really enjoying training in the mornings and getting it done quickly before work. There is a starting strength gym in my city but it's out of my way and I haven't figured out a way to conveniently figure out the logistical aspect of it without wasting too much time. Soooo. I guess in a nutshell my main question is do I keep my coach who does things a little bit differently then starting strength, but it is extremely convenient for me. Or should i sign up for ssoc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.
P.S. Please excuse the grammar mistakes as I wrote this on my phone while at work.
