Tuesday, 26 July 2011: Check Your Ego at the Door

Why sacrifice good form and technique, just so you can lift more? If you are doing this, you need to check your ego. Form and technique are the only way you can lift more. Muscling up weight with bad form will only get you injured.

Take it back to the basics and learn the technique. Check your ego.
Take the weight off the bar or just use PVC pipe to work the technique. Check your ego.

When you have the technique down cold, your numbers will sky rocket. Lifting more weight now with horrible form will only take you so far, but is the quickest road to injury. However, lifting little weight with perfect form will take you a long way. As Coach Burgener says, "Perfect practice makes perfect."

Be patient. The numbers will climb when your form is rock solid. So check your ego and start perfecting your technique.
