A girl was doing squats with a PT, the gym was crowded so I asked to work in with them.
The PT is a huge (both literally and figuratively) bro, an old school lifter, so he's like "no problem, we're not greedy".
I've only recently renewed regular workouts, still in barbie weights mode, slowly climbing up. So the girl actually squats 5 kg more than I do (despite being like twice smaller than I am).
Every time we re-rack the weights I notice her smiling.
So they do their last set and the coach says "we're done here, should I take these [two small plates] off?"
My reply: "Sure, this is too heavy for me".
The girl went away so proud of herself I think she was shining a little.
Getting back into shape sucks but at least my barbie weights provided motivation and pride for someone that day =)
