I saw Dan was working (PT), and asked if he could spot me whilst I was on the squat rack. Unfortunately, somebody was already using it, so he suggested the smith machine. I didn't really want to use this, because focusing on balance is something that I am use to doing whilst squatting; and this is something you don't need to do on a smith machine- The weight is fixed into the machine, and therefore if you were to drop it; it wouldn't really matter because it wouldn't be going anywhere. However, I'm glad I have tried it because it is always something I can do if another weight is in use.
This is an example:
Whereas I prefer this:
As well as trying something new, I also met a girl who wanted to do the same thing as me, so we took our sets in turns and ended up doing our whole workout together.
It was good, because she was trying to push into doing more, but at the same time I didn't want to over do it; I'd rather just push myself.
It was also more time consuming, as I had to wait for her to do her sets; because I like to get on and do my own workout routine I found this slightly frustrating.
I also got complimented at the gym today! Although, that was pretty weird... But that's another story!
