Hey guys!
When it comes to working out form and ego usually are battling them selves. What I mean is, if you think adding weight or going to level 3 is what you should be doing, maybe you think about this.
Injury happens when we let our ego get the best of ourselves and we ignore form just to show your friends or people around you in the gym, that you are stronger.
What good is trying to strenthen your body if your form is being jepardized by weight your body cant handle?
Simple tip...LISTEN TO YOUR BODY...and your trainer, believe it or not, we know what we are talking about.
I was the same way when I first started getting into shape. I would walk in the gym with my buddies, lift as heavy as we could and then leave. I know now that just because you can lift the weight, doesnt mean that the movement is benefical!
I see friends "curling" 50 pound dumb bells aka hip swing and back extenions while lifting their arms and "curling". I simply have them put their back against the wall isolating that movement and now just have them using their biceps and suddenly those 50 pound dumb bells are no longer going anywhere.
The reason is once they start to just use their bicep and not momentum to curl the weight, that muscle actually has to do all the work. Point in case, just because your moving the weight doesnt mean you lifting the weight properly!
Thats just one example, in the video above there are more examples of what you might be doing that you think is right and key thing to make that exercise right!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
