I read some studies about this last night. Can't recall figures but a huge proportion of DIY lifters don't lift enough to see proper benefits and everyone lifts more when they have a PT. Remind me and I can find the figures tonight.

I'd be interested in reading this. I know results on a training plan go up on studies where subjects are observed compared to those who just have to self-report - be interesting to know what mechanical difference a PT can make though.
On the PT tip, I had one free PT session when I first signed up for the gym and it was useful just to learn how all the machines work so you don't feel like a complete tool. I'm not sure I'd pay otherwise though. Mainly because I'm tight...

Stringlifts works with progressively heavier weights so this would negate this.
If you fail at a weight three times, the app drops the weight by 10% and you keep going. The weight drops are initially disconcerting but, once used to them, they actually work and you do progress.
I’m not sure about other lifting regimes.

I do.
Or rather, I find it "easier".
Perhaps that's because I'm tight though and want my money's worth...

How easy is it to get the right form if doing it solo?
I'm considering getting a PT for the first few sessions to check. Or is watching videos and practicing at home doable?
