This week is a subject that has an impact on tons of people who train nowadays. Especially among young people, partying and drinking are a huge part of their lives. Many young adults make it a weekly routine to go out with friends to a bar, or club, have some drinks and maybe smoke weed.

Importance of form for rapid muscular development

The benefits of dropping the weight that little bit, while maintaining perfect form easily outweigh the benefits of adding a couple more pounds. We’ll run through some of the basic benefits, and hopefully change your opinion on the way you train.

It may cause you to target other muscles (to help you lift the weight) instead of the one you hoped to target, because it needs extra help. It may even cause damage to the muscle. With perfect form, you’ll be sure to target the right muscle, and by doing so, you’ll ensure you get the best results in the least…
