Perfect Technique

When you are lifting weights you should always use perfect technique. If you cannot do an exercise properly then the load is either too heavy or it is poor exercise selection for your body at the current time. Many times what I see is people trying to force out a couple of extra reps with horrible technique. I am all for pushing yourself hard, but always with perfect technique. When your technique or your range of motion in an exercise begin to fade it is time to end that set. If you train into the point where your technique suffers then you are no longer training the same exercise and you are training faulty movement patterns which can lead to injury and problems increasing the amount of weight that you can lift.
