Improper form when performing exercises:
Using proper form when
performing an exercise is incredibly important. For one thing, it
ensures that the proper muscle group is being focused on. The more your
form deteriorates, the more likely it is that other muscles are being
brought in to take the pressure off of the muscle group you actually
want to be working. The other thing that is important about proper form
is that it prevents (or at least decreases the likelihood of) injury.
The more apt you are to start swinging the weight, using momentum,
cheating on your reps, etc., the more apt you are to suffer an injury.
Essentially, there are three components to proper form: 1) knowing what
the proper form is for an exercise, 2) choosing the appropriate weight
that allows you stay in that proper form throughout the performance of
the exercise and 3) focusing mentally on maintaining that form while you
do your reps. Combining these three elements are the best recipe for
success when it comes to proper form.
