Day 3 - leg day

So today was leg day and squats which I was really happy with. Legs are normally one of my stonger areas. 

I was in the middle of my second set of squats when a personal trainer who was admittedly bored as there was no one in the gym decided to come over and give me a hand. She was very polite and started spotting me and then encouraged me to add more weight. I was doing 40kg at the time. Now I appreciate this isn't a lot, but I have a dodgy knee and I like to have the best form I can manage and go as low as possible. The PT encouraged me to do more and by the end I was doing 50+ kg although it wasn't the best form in my mind, she said it was fine. She then basically took over my workout and me being British, I was too polite to tell her it wasn't necessary as I had a training plan. So, I then did weighted donkey kicks and weighted flute raises instead. Oh well!
