Are You Practicing Proper Form?

If ever you've walked into the gym and seen the one individual arnold-encyclopedia-modern-bodybuilding-233x300who was tossing his or her weights around, producing movements as if to be taken over by inner demons, you can imagine what a short lived bodybuilding career this person would have. Men’s Physique training takes dedication and a whole heck of a lot of hard work. The body is to undergo much stress and pain if one is to be a successful competitor. However, the stress doesn't have to turn into strain. The pain should be the type that furthers your growth not hinder it. Understand that the body will respond and produce more rapidly by practicing proper movements. Not using your body as a torquing device to lift a weight is wasn't meant to lift, is paramount.  So many athletes end their careers needing prosthetic knees and constant physical therapy due in part, partially, to the poor form they used for so many years in the weight rooms.

The other circumstances are obviously "on the court" related.  Bench press competitions and seeing how much we could squat, back in the day, has left some of us needing muscle creams and anti inflammatories for the knees to keep up with daily tasks.  In a nutshell, the key to keeping your bodybuilding or other athletic endeavors at the top of their game is to focus on form. For example: feel the burn as the biceps muscles contract to flex your arm and really squeeze. With the exception of some artful cheating techniques, stay clear of swinging body parts to gain momentum.

Bodybuilding and Men’s Physique, more so than other sports, are games of sculpting and deception. A MP Competitor is an artist. His main concern is not to trigger fight of flight impulses that cause him to lift a weight that is far heavier than was meant to lift and end up in therapy. It is to be intelligent, strategic, and productive. So don't hold back those rock hard gains by practicing poor form. Pick up Arnold's Encyclopedia and master those moves!
