It depends completely who'll be coaching you. If it's some random gym trainer then you'll get random results. If you've got someone who really knows their stuff then they'll give you a few pointers but, saying that, I'd be very surprised if technique is what's holding back progress on the lifts unless you're injuring yourself.

I'm a big advocate for coaching in any sport. Especially one where you pick heavy things off the floor, or put them on your back. Form is so important.
It's about finding the right coach though— not some over-muscled plonker in a FF polo shirt with an 8 week qualification in personal training.For me, weight lifting is a means to an end, not an end in itself. I really don't want to injure myself

@JWestland @dan @French_Touch Is it worth me having some coaching sessions for DL's and Squats - I think I need to improve my technique and don't feel like I'm really making any progress as is.
Keen to know your thoughts and others
