Normally I go all the way to the floor, but you did more than 50 reps today and what the trainer did with you is pretty smart. The real benefit/work for the hams comes into play when the bar gets to and above your knees anyway.
The same technique if often used for low-rep, near-max weight days when doing rack pulls. It's an even shorter range of motion but really hits the posterior chain.
