Correct Form Correct Form
Save Tip

This is probably the most important tip of all, but unfortunately it is the one mistake that is constantly made even though it's probably the most simple. The benefits of correct form outweigh anything else you can be doing in the gym so it's the one thing you want to place the most emphasis and focus upon.
It doesn't matter how much weight you can move, if you don't do the exercise correctly, you may not see the results of that lift. Secondly, you can really injure yourself. The most common reason people hurt themselves is because they do not perform an exercise correctly. Finally, keeping this tip in mind, you will help to keep your body in balance by not compensating in one way or another.
There are a couple ways to keep an eye on your form. First, know the exercise you are doing including how you should hold your body and the exact motion. Secondly, use a mirror to check your form. If you can see yourself doing the exercise, you should be able to tell if something is not quite right.
Make sure you can enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle by playing it safe on the gym floor.
Yours in Health!

LoiacanoA I agree with this. Its not about the numbers you're moving, its about the feel. Breaking form to move weight won't help one gain.
