When Trainers Train

My gym's trainers of course use the gym to train during their off hours. Today was one of those cases as two guys did squats. And how did they do them? Not very well.

When they loaded up the bar, their form went in the opposite direction of the weight. They bent at the knees first instead of sitting back and their thighs didn't make it anywhere near parallel to the floor. Basically they were doing half squats.

Once again it shows why it's always good to check out your trainer's credentials and even to watch them with other clients.
