2. Bad Form (The Silent Killer of Gains and Joints)
Ever seen someone at the gym squatting with their knees caving in or deadlifting with a rounded back? That’s an injury waiting to happen.
The Mistake: Lifting with poor form not only reduces effectiveness but also puts excessive strain on your joints and spine, leading to long-term injuries.
The Fix: Start with lighter weights and focus on perfecting your form before increasing intensity. Record yourself or ask a trainer to check your posture. Key tips:
- Keep your back straight during lifts.
- Engage your core.
- Control the movement instead of relying on momentum.
