Watch out for bad trainers

[Anonymous]

There are great ones, and there are utterly incompetent ones. Today I saw a trainer leading a small group (not a class, but one of those group training classes) telling a guy to jump up on a bench with a weighted bar on his back. This was a guy who had to sit down between sets, not some fit dude. I could not believe the incompetence of telling someone to do that. That's a sure way to hurt your back or injure yourself.

Please, please do your vetting for working with a trainer - even in small groups. Don't just do something if a trainer tells you to or suggests it.
