    Form?

    What do people mean when they say watch your form and that it is important?

    Form is the difference between bodybuilding and simply lifting weights. Poor form with too much weight takes the stress off the target muscle; momentum moves the weight, not the muscles. Bodybuilding is accomplished best with strict form, controlled tempo, optimal tension, and total concentration. If muscle size is your number one priority, you must do everything in your power to make the exercise harder, not easier. You must select the path of maximum stimulation - which also happens to be the path of most resistance, effort and pain.

    I believe you posted in the wrong section, welcome aboard.

    When a goal is reached comes satisfaction . You're accomplished as a person when you surpass those goals .

    Form is how you place your body (arms, legs, stance, feet, hands) etc.... There is a right way and a wrong way to do all exercises. This is where a trainer or experienced partner can be good if you are concerned with your form. Having correct form will extremely enhance the benefits you will receive from weight training. It will also prevent injury. For anyone that loves their training, an injury can be very scary so in turn watching form to prevent possible injuries is numero uno
