In any gym environment, it’s not the weight you lift — it’s how you lift it. Poor form is the root of many setbacks, from joint strain to plateaued progress.

🔹 Why Form Matters

When form breaks down:

• Muscles compensate incorrectly
• Joints absorb excess tension
• Recovery time increases
  Proper form distributes load efficiently, engages stabilizers, and improves neuromuscular coordination.

🔹 The Ego Trap

One of the most common mistakes in gyms is choosing weight over technique. This not only increases injury risk but prevents true muscular development.

“If your form is off, your progress is fake.”

🔹 Key Form Tips

• Deadlift: Keep the back neutral, hinge from hips
• Squat: Knees track toes, engage core throughout
• Bench Press: Shoulder blades retracted, elbows 45°
• Pull-ups: No swinging — use full range, control descent

🔹 Listen to the Body

Fatigue often compromises form. It’s better to do 6 clean reps than 10 sloppy ones. Technique under fatigue is where progress truly forms.
