Good Form
How many people in your gymn are using as light a weight as they should and maintaining good form? What percentage would you guess.
I can honestly say that I see almost no-one in my gymn doing it right. Everyone seems to load 6,800 pounds on the leg press and proceed to move the weight back and forth about three inches. I see people using way too much on the bench press and just flying through the movement like they are jerking off. Using almost nothing but momentum. |

yeah, it happens. no to be racist, but the asians around here (i go to a university with a lot of engineers) who wear dockers and collared shirts to the gym have the most horrible form ive ever seen. its good for a few laughs though.

I dont really care, but it does provide some humour on a regular basis!
Its funny to see tall skinny guys trying to curl 120 on the ez bar for a big 2-3 reps, swigning back and forth so hard, I feel a breeze! Or the smart asses who throw 400on the bar for squats yet the only thing thats paralel to the ground when they go down is their feet! |

Close to nobody uses proper form. The ones with correct form are usually men and are usually competitive BB's or just guys that take working out seriously. I hear everything from wrong terminology, bad posture, wierd form, pointless injury prone exercises, overtraining and 99.9% plain old bad gym manners and etiquitte. I'd say 10 people are 100% on every one of these.
