to cheat by swinging the weights up using momentum and lowering the weights by using gravity.
These movements not only waste your time in the gym as they are definitely not helpful in helping you build muscles. They will cause injuries.
An example of a common exercise done in the wrong form and a recipe for injuries is the common bar bell curl.
• Barbell Biceps Curl – This exercise is perhaps the most commonly executed in the wrong form and causing injuries that people don’t even know why they are injured. In every gym, you will see people swinging their barbells with their body rocking thru and fro in the movements.
The rocking movement places tremendous stress on the shoulder joint which is the most unstable joint in the human body and the lower back. Over time, the shoulder joints and lower back will pay a heavy price for the wrong form and technique used during the lift.
Other common exercises which are often wrongly executed are the lat pull down, bench press, leg extension, military press and list goes on.
So the next time when you have backache or joint pain, don’t blame it on other causes if you are a bodybuilder and that you lift weights often. Just reflect on the weightlifting exercises you are doing and examined them as to whether they are the cause of your injuries.
Better yet, hire a personal trainer or a book with picture illustration and description to learn how to lift weights in the correct form and technique to prevent common and serious weight lifting injuries.
