It's important to have good form, not only to get the most out of your work out but to make sure you don't hurt yourself or others while working out. I see tons of people lifting and working out with tons of weights and aren't even doing it properly |
+1. I just hurt my leg last Thursday, either a muscle cramp just minor tear in my quad. Just reminds me to be even more careful when working out. Warm up properly, progressively move onto the moderate or heavy weight. When you are using tons of weight with bad form, injury is gonna happen sooner or later. Trust me you don't wanna limp from one class to another. If you hurt yourself, no more gains while you are recovering. But if you are careful and going to gym consistently, gains everyday. Take it easy is what I have learned from my two recent injuries. When you injure yourself, you want to kick yourself in the groin, and wished that you had gone easier with the weights.
