Now if they have a very limited experience with weights or no experience at all. We start them off with a base line month long program. This consist of a lot of body weight training, sandbag training, and sled pulling. This will help them develop the muscle and strength they need to progress. We use light weight and a lot of reps. We have certain test that they must pass before even getting under a bar and benching or squatting. If they can perform three sets of twenty push ups than they can advance to dumbbells and than advance to the bar when we feel comfortable.
Make sure you build your clients up. Don't start them off with weights they can not handle. This will wreck their confidence and might make them second guess being there. You want them to always get their prescribed reps and increase a little at a time every week to build them up. You have to know your clients and how to talk and respond to them. This is crucial to the success of your clients and of your business.
