Form is a cornerstones of weight training.
It describes how well (or how poorly) you
are performing an exercise. There are three
typical stages of form when lifting weights:
strict, loose, and sloppy.
Strict
form is perfect form executing
the exercise to the letter of the
law. This is how you should perform
the majority of your exercises.
The
second stage is loose form.
This allows for some slight cheating
movements, such as using a little
momentum to keep the weight moving.
When you can no longer perform an
exercise with
strict form,
you naturally move toloose form to continue
lifting and continue working the muscle.
It is a continuum of style.
Sloppy
form entails gross cheating movements
and terrible form. Examples of this
include bouncing the bar off your
chest when doing a bench press, pulling
on your head when doing abdominal
crunches or bending your back when
doing push-ups. NEVER
allow your form to go as far as sloppy.
This quite often leads to injury.
