5. Training Fundamentals
Lesson 5
Form
Using proper form will help you maximize results while preventing injury and pain.
Take your time to lift with good form.
Lifting technique
Lift with control and take 2 seconds to lower the weight and 1-2 seconds to lift the weight.
Cues
Squeeze the muscles you’re targeting with each rep.
Squeeze shoulder blades.
Breathe in while lifting the weight (positive phase) and breathe out when lowering it (negative phase).
Posture
Keep your head aligned with your spine.
Never make sudden movements.
Habits
Watch the mirror and perform a rep without any weights or with very light weights before jumping into any compound exercise.
Take your time to learn the form.
