It's both fun and frustrating at the same time. I'm happy my trainer doesn't yell when I do things wrong and gives encouragements when things aren't as crappy as 'normal' .. I'm my own worst critic at times.

Proprioception (sp?) is a big problem for me.. I can watch videos from others till the cows come home and still not 'see' things. Then do it myself and fail to notice the mistakes.
It has been invaluable sofar to have videos of myself.. too bad I'm unable to do this myself (yet).. perhaps my partner can teach me or come with me more often. I'm sure this would also be of great assistance.

It was just amazing how hard it was to do deadlifts right w/o proper feedback from others or seeing it for myself. It is equally amazing how little feedback you actually get in a gym.. either from staff or from more experienced lifters. Getting info from the internet is just NOT the same.
I'm sure many people here have had the same experience when they finally got hands-on training from someone who knows 'squat' (or snatch)
