That's very important. I always sit down with potential clients before they sign with me to make sure there is a good "fit." Otherwise, you are just spinning your wheels. It's a shame the PT's in your gym were not more helpful. My clients are free to call, email, and stop me in the gym (when I'm not training someone else) with their questions. They get a journal from me to log their food and workout programs; I'm big on teaching them to have a plan and stick to it. Eventually, you will go out on your own, so your trainer should give you all the tools you need to transform your body and continue on without them. I wish you all the best!!!! Take those pics now!

I love wine too, but have sworn it off for awhile til I get BF around my mid-section to where I want it.

I agree with Flybuck.. hit up some push-ups.. you'll still gain definition from it and it will still help, but sharp pains are not ok. Build everything else around it for now. It will come back.

After you're confident it's healed you might want to start off with something like pushups on your knees just to get your range of motion back before starting back in on the weights.
