Agreed. You need a trainer or a knowledgeable friend to teach you the basic lifts, especially the Olympic lifts (clean, snatch). It's very helpful to have a third person perspective for evaluating your form. But outside of learning the basics of form, each trainer is going to have their own routine which may or may not be well informed.
I've been lifting for many years and have tried dozens of programs. I only recently came across this book on "power training". It is the most sensible approach to lifting that I have ever seen. It focuses on functional, performance-based lifting and works all the muscles in your body as well as doing wonders for your metabolism. Having access to a gym is obviously ideal, but the author shows how many of the lifts can be done at home with a minimal amount of equipment.
