hi! coach rippetoe,

would you rather someone came to your SS seminar as a raw beginner (and therefore, with no bad habits to unlearn) or would you rather take someone who has been working out and break them of their bad habits and incorrect techniques?

(and this someone would be a 63 year old woman whose weightlifting exposure is limited to nautilus machines and some chrome dumbbells long ago and far away)

thanks,
3m

I don't care. Either will work fine for a good coach. But 63-year-old women generally listen better than 19-year-old boys. They pay better too.
