Default Can not believe a trainer last night

A guy at my Y was helping this really young kid workout last night. He had him do squats. He had the kid do squats with about 20% - and I'm not kidding - knee flex. His feet were about 9 inches apart. He had a bar with a ten pound plate on each side.

Why not just have him use bodyweight and try to get down in a deep squat position until he could have weight on his back?

I know that you have to pay to have a Y personal trainer and this kid got ripped off big time. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
